Festival Chic baby, Festival Chic

So.. the news in brief. Got job. Like job. Driving to job not that great. Thanks a lot TomTom. New iPod transmitter also not that great resulting in much distraction when driving. Not good. Home alone for 2 weeks. 1 week to go. Grandmother didn't die. Hurray! Parents crap at answering mobiles. Seven hour shift at holiday club almost bearable. Nick is nice. Two jobs and still no money. Oh and unfortunate self dousing incident involving petrol and resulting in loss of favourite shoes.

So, today, Innocent Village Fete in Regents Park. I am planning to do a proper review at some point, I've made notes and everything. In short though, very wet, but being the festival veteran that I am, I was prepared - I wore quick drying clothes, a waterproof jacket (breaking it in for Embra) and boots. Still got rather soggy though. Angus Stone appeared to have not cut his hair since last time I saw them (May) and is looking more rugged model than well groomed model these days. I got a free litre of smoothie at the end, mango and carrot flavour. Luckily it tastes neither of carrots or oranges, and I was rather pleased about not having to fork out for another extortionately priced drink to have on the train home. The festival was all about organic, being green, ethical, blah blah, but ultimately was sponsored by McDonalds. The irony is almost too much.

2 weeks today I shall be returning from my summer holiday. Round about now actually. in 10 days I will be embarking on my summer holiday. Do the math. More of a mini-break than a holiday. It will be incredible though, there is no question. I went hunting for a killer dress on Saturday... I found bugger all. Unbelievable. Hopefully the old faithful eBay will provide, as long as I can get home in time from work tomorrow to actually bid.

So, aim for the week is to get to work (Aldershot) on time the two days I'm there this week, and also to come up with better names for my two jobs other than work and other work. Because they're interchangeable depending on which one I'm currently referring to. Suggestions gratefully received. Maybe kid and non-kid work? Not particularly catchy.

Ida Maria's album is amazing, and much better than I thought it would be. Nice.

Finally... just noticed my legs are really really smooth. Sod Gillette, Sainsbury's cheaper version all the way.

Pip.
