Whoever said getting broadband was easy? Am finally online with all the speed of an arcing arrow, and it's ruddy great. Why didn't I do this years ago? Pipex, £19.99 a month, with enoughMB download to keep me happy. Although...watch this space.

Spent some of the weekend in a Bristolian field at the Ashton Court Festival. Many many people of all shapes and sizes, a true community affair. I wasn't tempted to buy anything in purple or with starry glitter. Best bits: lying in a G&T haze, eating too much and going on fantastic chairoplanes, which you can hire. For your own garden. Beats swinging a cat I suppose.
