Today: We went to Widecombe yesterday as we want to go to Combeinteignhead to celebrate our 44th anniversary today. Coffee at the Woodshed followed by a sarnie and a pint at the Wild Goose. If the Church is open we'll go and have a look around. We're even taking our bridesmaid - Sarah's sister whose hubby died recently. An Alsace inspired meal at home tonight to remind us of where we met.
Nothing much else planned for the weekend.

Sounds fabulous, Will. Enjoy it. 👍🏻
Thursday: up at 4am to get to Green Man by 8 - not strictly necessary but there's a group of us this year and we needed a space big enough for five tents together. Urban Folk Quartet, Islet, Metz, Hippo Sound System, Das Koolies.
Friday: Pete Brown Matches Beers To The Bands, Hurray For The Riff Raff, Lemoncello, Johnny Flynn , This Is The Kit, A Savage, Fat White Family, some of The Jesus & Mary Chain, John Hopkins
Saturday: King Creosote (my highlight), John Maus, Beatles Dub Club av set (which sadly means I'll miss Devandra Banhart), either Big Thief or Nabihah Iqbal
Sunday: Lambrini Girls, The Mysteries, either Pictish Trail or Omar Souleyman (probably the latter as I've seen PT before), Black Country New Road, Ezra Collective, Explosions In The Sky, the burning of the Green Man and fireworks, home.
All mixed in with a selection of fifty cask ales from the Courtyard Bar.
Have a good 'un, all!

Friday....Had a walk around the village in the sun. Salad for tea this afternoon. Its the Fete de Coupiac at the moment. Last nights festivities were cancelled as a huge storm hit about 20 minutes into the music. I was listening to it through the open windows whilst waiting for the nurse, who turned up about 8.15pm. The Fireworks were cancelled too. To be honest I was not that fussed as I was not feeling up for it, and I cannot have a beer for 3 months so had an early night. Theres more music tonight, and the fireworks. Hopefully the nurse turns up early tonight as I feel up for it today. Not so sure about drinking water though.
Saturday....Have my daily walk then relax. Stir Fried vegetables and Noodles for tea. Wait for the Nurse, Number 11 of 28 injections. This is turning me into a nervous wreck. Its the last night of the Music and the all night Disco in the Place de Centre. it will be deafening until an outdoor breakfast is served at 4.00am. Might have a look at the band early doors, I'll see how I feel.
Sunday...Usual routine...walk, relax, injection. Salad Nicoise for tea.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Hey Mulv,
That would not be Pete Brown who wrote the lyrics for numerous Cream tracks with Jack Bruce would it?
I saw him at Mothers when he performed with The Battered Ornaments and Piblokto. I even have one of his albums stashed away in the wardrobe in "Pete's Room". Its a little strange.
If it isn't the same chap then ignore me.

Thursday evening we went to the Pavillion to watch a tribute to Elton John, it was really good and I shed a fair few tears at some of the songs 🎶🎶 Friday - we had planned to go to a NT estate - Kingston Lacy but TT’s mom called, sounding very frail, I said, oh let’s go over there today - oh great she said, very sprightly, I’ve got a big pot of stew on - cheeky moo lol, so it was Friday traffic all the way to Dawlish, got there for 1.30pm, the carnival is on so we walked them into town (TT’s mom hasn’t done this since before Covid) and then left at 6pm because the a35 shuts at 8pm over night, at the moment Saturday- no real plans but assume it’ll involve the beach & the bookies Sunday - sleep
Will & Sarah, happy Anniversary xxx Have a good weekend everyone
