Birdsedge Village Festival

[jacey]

If I've been quiet for the last week or two it's because as one of the festival organisers I've been running round like a blue-arsed whatsit, helping to get everything ready for Birdsedge's biggest event of the year. A Friday rock concert (a Springsteen tribute band this year); followed by a family fun day and evening folk concert; followed by a children's day including family singing workshops and our musical youth competition.

I think it went well. Friday night absolutely pissed it down and Saturday had one dodgy moment when it looked like rain would set in, but it didn't. It was cold though, and quite blustery. If the weather had been kinder we might have made more profit, but as it turned out I don't think we did too badly, though we haven't got the figures yet. When we take the bar profits into consideration I think we'll have made t least two thousand quid for the Village Hall (hopefully more).

But... I'm knackered.

And Best Beloved looks as though he needs to sleep for a week.

Hi! Sorry it's taken me so long to post re the festival- we've all been just dreadfully ill with the worst summer cold EVER. I'm well enough now, though still coughing and feeling kind of spacey but poor dadgaderie is in the midst of it. :(

Sorry about the rain, glad about the lack of rain, but sorry again for the cold and blusteriness, thank heavens for the bar profits!!!

Here's something to distract you from your sure to be aching feet:

Dr Horrible was delightful. My coinnection is a bit slow so it was stuttery, but still worth watching.

Skype anytime you like. How about Thursday morning (your time)?

That should be fine- what's a good time for you? for us any time after about 10 AM Pacific (duh!) is good.

Sorry Dr. Horrible was stuttery- it's hard to to watch stuff when it stops and starts. We thought it was great. Oh, we have more Buffy comics to bring in February and Fray as well- all reeeeeally good

Eileen and David are cooking dinner tonight so let's make it earlier rather than later. 10 a.m. Pacific is 6 p.m. GMT. That suits me
