Glastonbury Highlights Part 1

So obviously by 'tomorrow' I meant 8 days later.......
Bit photo heavy this one, but not sure I really need to explain!

Am off for dinner at my favourite (Japanese) restaurant then off to work.  I have 4 night shifts and then am done with intensive care.  I'm sure I'll miss a few things, but not the 13 hour long shifts, very glad to see the back of those!

Miu Miu

I absolutely love the new Miu Miu collection - so pretty and girly!  Lily Allen on the front of Elle this month in the appliqued lace and silk dress - wow! Want, want, want!  Sadly think they are out of my price range, maybe this time next year they will be in the sale??

Glasto pics coming tomorrow!

Retro swimsuit

I just ordered this lovely swimsuit for my forthcoming very short holiday.  I have 2 weeks to get beach ready, eek!

I am hoping life can be a bit less busy over the next few weeks even though I have 2 parties, a hospital ball, a holiday, my husbands 30th and am starting a new job! As long as I get a lie in tomorrow I shall be happy, for now!!

Busy bee

I am alive, feeling much better but am just incredibly busy.  The Glasto photos will be up soon but for now I am enjoying the beginning of my incredibly busy summer.  We have one house guest (my husbands best man) and am expecting 2 more any minute now (my Dad and Annie).  I see my Dad far too little so am going to enjoy him visiting, then I promise I will do a proper blog post about Glasto!  I'm doing a barbeque for 8 people tomorrow night too, eek!  Wish me luck!

The year that Glastonbury broke me

I am back, but very very broke. Am currently spending day 2 in bed with an ever evolving illness thats keeping me home from work and my very very important appraisal today (which I still passed somehow, despite not being there).
Glastonbury had quite a few highs, but sadly quite a few lows. There were tears (who else but me seeks out exam results whilst away!!), sweat and maybe the odd little tantrum or two. It was mightily hot and dusty, which made it difficult to do much in the day. It won't go down as the best but it had its moments.... moustaches in the NYC Downlow bar, salsa dancing at 2am, singing our heads off to the wonder that is Candi Staton and me lusting over Chali 2na (that voice......)

Just lets not talk about the Gorillaz, okay?

Photos when well.

Favourite Glastonbury moments so far....

It will be my 4th Glastonbury this year, and as always, I'm very excited!!  I thought I'd share some of my favourite performances from my previous festivals.

Firstly, 2002
Difficult to find many videos. Highlights were definitely No Doubt, Nelly Furtado, Isaac Hayes, Groove Armada (At the River was stunning!) and sat outside our tent by a campfire listening to Rod Stewart on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night.
Here's some Rod for you


2007
Amy Winehouse - Jazz World Stage.
We were right at the front, it was a great show (before everything went a bit downhill!)


Arctic Monkeys
Just brilliant - quite near the back but great atmosphere!


Seasick Steve
The first time we saw him, even though we only caught the very end of this set. He always plays multiple times at Glastonbury. Think we've seen him too many times now though, but he still rocks!


Paolo Nutini
I love him, thats all. And this cover is genius.


2008
Jay-Z
I don't need to explain! They don't show the video that he played first, but that & the first performance sent shivers down my spine! The bit where it changes from Wonderwall to 99 problems! Got to be one of the best performances ever!


Mr Doherty
A special little song close to my heart.


Candi Staton
This video does no justice to the experience of being there singing with everyone!


I'm sure there will be some to add to that list from this year. Looking forward to Jack Johnson, Ray Davies (ie The Kinks lead singer), Gorillaz once again, Florence and the one and only Stevie Wonder.

Only 3 sleeps left!!
