Festival

Here. Now. Today. Starts in an hour or two. I could have been down on the field all day putting up tents and stuff but the phone has been going mad and it seems like I'm the only person anchoring it. Field the phone call from BB: 'Why has the stage not arrived?' I pass the buck to Bob: 'It'll be here before eleven.' (Which of course, it wasn't.) HS: Where are the rest of the stillage frames for the beer? ' Me: 'I'll phone Rich and find out.' (No answer from his mobile or landline.) BB: 'When Bob phones the marquee company about the stage can you ask him to ask them why there's no door canvas in the foorway? We can't close it up.' Bob:'Yeah they know about that - it's coming with the stage.'

I'm also still phoning people for promised mobile numbers for the emergency contact list but no one is in. Woman: 'Are there any tickets left for Tanglefoot on Saturday?' Man: I accidentally bought two tickets more than I need, can I get a refund?' Task force parent: 'Sorry James isn't coming he's going to Birmingham with the school band.'

Oh great.

Anyway, ready or not doors open in two hours. I'm taking yesterdays batch of cakes (6 cakes, 4 tray bakes and 24 buns), leaving the phone and heading for the field.
