Glasto weather!

Glastonbury long-range weather forecasts:

Metcheck say 60% prob blue skies, 24degC prediction.

Theweatheroutlook say 50% cloud cover, 19degC, & no rain (for Friday only so far, i.e. 28 days ahead). And little rain in the couple of weeks beforehand, which is also Important.

Bounce!

In other news: knee still hurts, had nice date with kitty_goth last night, have had several Quiet Nights In lately, which are a good & useful thing (knee pain & painkillers seem to be conspiring to make me *tired*). And we have two more baby rats! Hazel (agouti) & Poppy (black self, very similar to Rowan). Photos hopefully this weekend...

I am STILL wibbling about Hazel going to sleep under my hair! Are she and Poppy a bit more settled in now?

Boo to knee pain :( I have some knee-strengthening exercises which a physio gave me a couple of years ago - should have remembered to mention this last time I was round, but I could show you them next time I see you, if you want?

I have some as well, but I'm not sure if they'll be a good idea entirely if I've done something different... but I *do* now have appointment with hospital for 3 weeks time, so hopefully I will have some answers soon!

Hazel & Poppy are settling in OK, although there are still being squabbles with Bramble :-(

Good point - my knee exercises are to stop my knee popping out; if you've done something different it might not be such a good idea. Still, some of them take place on a GYM BALL = the most fun you can have with a ball. Or something ;)

Hurrah for new pets. Our cats have entered summer mode: useless, complete lack of activity, stretched out to enable as much surface area as possible to touch the cool tiles downstairs. (As opposed to winter mode: useless, complete lack of activitity, wedged between radiator and wall to absorb as much heat as possible.)

And little rain in the couple of weeks beforehand, which is also Important.

This is actually a bit of a Bad Thing, though, because it means the ground will be very dry and dusty -- so any rain during the festival will turn into an instant sea of mud.

(Not-too-parched ground also makes it much easier to put tents up...)

Swings & roundabouts, innit. 1998 was *so* hideous that I can only find it in myself to rejoice at minimal rain the weeks beforehand :-)

There is a *bit* of rain predicted - something like 7 days with little pictures of small quantities of rain in the previous 3 weeks.

Yeah. Saturated ground beforehand = quagmire. I'd rather have a little bit of surface mud than stages sinking.

do you realise how inaccurate such long term forecasting is?

Hello! I added you because I didn't realise I hadn't. *wise face*
