Dave B

Sorry - but this is a shitty post. Yesterday I was told that one of the guys I worked with, who had been off sick for a copule of days, passed away. He was 24. It doesnt make any sense. He was one of the smartest and kindest guys I knew. I am going to miss you Dave. Nothing helps at times like this - I dont really know what to say and I dont know why I am writing this - but you taught me stuff beyond your years - just by being you. Going to miss you Dave.

Glastonbury

Over the weekend I braved Glastonbury with 174,499 other wellie boot wearers. (Yep - that is 175 thousand people through the gates!). Sure it was muddy. Sure it rained. Sure getting home on the train was painful. But who cares - it was an awesome weekend. Some highlights. Seeing rufus wainwright, arcade fire and bjork back to back on Friday night - from the fifth row. Discovering my tent didnt leak. Discovering pear cider. Not falling over in the mud. Watching the sun come up with tent neighbours (who when they found out I was Australian questioned me endlessly on Neighbours !). Discovering pear cider (yes ... it is worth mentioning twice). Four brilliant days wandering around surrounded by a huge variety of sights and sounds. Biggest regret. Not taking more photos on Friday night - grrrr - oh well - too busy enjoying the music. Anyway ... it is now time for the obligatory photos.
