The biggest change this year of course is that I'm off coke (as in cola). If I manage to stay off coke until my birthday, which will be about 5.5 weeks cold turkey, (currently 3.5 weeks in), then I figure I'll apply that will power to smoking. So between that and my general healthier eating stance of late, I think I could do with some suggestions of food to bring. What food will last well over a 2 day period and tastes okay at room temperature?

Also think I need to buy a new tent. Firstly, because my old one is battered. But secondly, it has been hinted, strongly, that at the second festival of the season, I may well have a roommate.

Will I ever learn my lesson about jumping head-first into these things. Probably not. But then, I wouldn't be me if I did.

Anyone know what the deal is with this? What the hell makes it disposable? The fact that it's crap, or some inherent bio-degradable feature?

MDBs old boyfriend is home from Korea for a few weeks. I saw him in the pub last night. Walked out to the beer garden. MDB and her actual boyfriend were sitting outside, next to each other, occasionally holding hands. The ex-boyfriend was sitting on the other side of MDB. Looked, um, awkward. He had just shown up in the pub. She knew he was coming back from Korea at some point, but had expected a little more notice than that.

Woke at about 3:30am to a torrential downpour. Heard MDB coming home too. The girlie commented "That doesn't sound like $MDB's boyfriend." Indeed it was not. The ex hadn't actually noticed any of the hand holding. MDB and he had gone for a few pints and then back to our place for a can or two and apparently he was hoping to get a little something-something. Slim chances.

I always thought that she was the one who was hung up on him, but I really think at the end of the day, the fact that she was allowed him to conceal the fact that the opposite was true. My how the tables have turned.
