I saw lots of friends that I don't normally see, some that I knew were there and others I didn't. Most didn't ask the what are you doing/when are you going to be working again, and those that did it didn't bother me to much. And I must hello to Heather, 'hi Heather'.
Friday.
The Hub, Mark made his Kings Speech. It made me laugh.
Wandered a lot and looked at interesting things
Paul Kerensa. A very funny look at Exodus. I had forgotten it was going to be about Exodus, and when he started and reminded me of that I thought it was going to be a bit dull, and then it was really funny.
Saturday.
First thing we saw Steve Price, a magician. Very good and very funny. It had been billed as being part of the all age programme, consequently we were the only childless adults there, but it really was an all age show.
Looked at art, some of which I was doubt was art. Was in two galleries, one was a methodist art collection and that was the strangest art. The other was where we found Pip, and the art was slightly better.
Contributed to the peoples Bible.
Shooting Economics. We went to go to a youth work seminar, went to the wrong venue, ended up in one on economics. We ate our lunch while sat in it and then left.
The husband became a BBC weather presenter, and did a rather good job at it
Folk On. Comedy folk music. We sat outside the venue as it was rather full, but it sounded good and we were there it Rich and Amy, so it wouldn't have mattered whether we could hear anything or not as we were in the company of friends.
Paul Bell. Musical man from Sheffield. Especially liked his songs about romance and biscuits (2 different songs). We had made it into the performance cafe by this point.
Soweto Kinch, musical act on main stage. This is one I done on my own. I only caught his last three songs, but I enjoyed them very much - especially Stroke the Hippo. It was music that made your rib cage vibrate, I like that.
Gentlemen's Dub Club. Main stage again, on my own still. Very enjoyed, but I couldn't stay til the end of their set as I was in need of bed.
Sunday.
Chilled out at the Tiny Tea Tent with lots of friends
IDMC gospel choir at main stage. Really good.
Frisbee golf. I was only going to watch Mark play, then when we got there I decided to join in. I beat him by 4, and set the course record. It was a lot of fun.
The Homing Instinct. A talk in the methodist run tent. We got there early and so got to sit on some very comfy bean bag seat things. They were giving out little bags with a leaflet, some cookies and some tea bags. The cookies were all chocolate so Mark was happy. The talk was really good, in terms of where we are at the moment with moving church, having moved home recently, future plans for where to live and what to do having change it helped us make sense of whats going on in our lives.
Steve Price. The magnificent magician was doing a different show so we went to that too. Gave the gospel using magic. We loved it.
Gordon Gano and the Ryan Brothers. Music at main stage on my own. Only caught the end, really enjoyed it.
Duke Special. More people were there to see Duke Special than Gordon Gano. I preferred Gordon.
Monday.
G music, listened to a guy but I don't know who he was.
Fischy Music, at main stage. Enjoyable.
Pru's cafe. Saw Pip's doors and road signs.
Hope and Social. A musical act with trombone, trumpet and sax. They all wore blue jackets. And were really good.
Musical Comedy showcase. Several acts form over the weekend who do funny songs. Was really really good.
Kate Rusby. I caught the end of her set, was good.
Wandering with Amy round various stalls.
The Unthanks. We waited for ages for them, had to endure an interview with the chair of the Greenbelt trustees who was a bit of a plonker. When they started we realised they were too soporific for the amount of tired we felt.
