We got married in a fever

Last week, while dining in a perfectly respectable local restaurant, ChrisC and I had a great idea for a meal. Yesterday, he went to the fishmonger to buy pollock so we could try it out. They had none, so he did a little local tour of shops until he eventually tracked down some pollock fillets in our local organic macramé muesli shop.

So for tea today we had Pollock pollock.

Yes, it's entirely possible it would have been better as a throwaway comment. Tasty, though.

I dreamed of you on my farm

It's time for the annual mega-post reporting on Glastonbury. If you dislike words (or dislike an excess of words) then try the nearly word-free version on Flickr instead.

Also, a disclaimer: my legs are still not working properly. I was aware before I set off that this year was going to be quite a minimalist festival for me. Usually we rack up miles and miles each day walking backwards and forwards across the site, and I just wasn't going to be up to that. In addition, the weather was unfriendly and it was one of those years when everyone finds it difficult to get around; walking in thick, sucking mud is surprisingly hard work. Accordingly, there is much less serendipitous weirdness below than in other years.
