Five nights of zeitgeist

Selected high points

Radiohead's headliner on Saturday night

The piss just after Radiohead's headliner on Saturday night

Billy Bragg old school solo set in the Left Field tent on Sunday (especially the whole crowd singing This Guitar Says Sorry)

Campaigning with fantastic people to a warm and friendly crowd

Comfrey pakoras by the fire in the permaculture corner on Friday night's wandering

Sunset in the stone circle with hot cider

Hot showers at 6am in the staff field. In fact, most things about the staff field

Getting there before the crowds, getting away at 7am today

Our fabulous new tent

Selected low points

Bastard man and his miserable family who were breathtakingly rude when I asked them to sign up

Men still pissing in hedges despite having far more than their fair share of toilet facilities

Grumpy PMT moments then period in a field, never good

Achy achy legs from endless walking

Missing Interpol because of clash with shift

On balance then, top weekend. Amazing weather, good vibes, great music. Glad I went back (having sworn not to after not much fun experience in 1995), glad we had a safe place to camp, glad am grown up and sensible enough to get enough sleep and take things like hats, and very, very proud of myself for NOT SMOKING AT ALL. Who would have thought it possible.

I feel like I've been away for a month though. God knows how I'm going to cope with work tomorrow...
