Wait, what, it's August and Venta hasn't been to a folk festival in Whitby?

Of course I have, I just haven't found time to write it up here. Regular readers may assume that it was quite a lot like last year. Only a lot, lot windier. Dance displays at Capt. Cook's monument were all about trying not to get blown off the cliff and out to sea.

Unexpectedly, we managed a whole four days of dancing without injuring anyone seriously (unlike the Wallingford festival this weekend where our very first dance failed so badly someone ended up concussed).

However, as anyone who's ever been to any kind of festival knows, it's not a terribly restful sort of a holiday. Since getting back, I've mostly been either at work, asleep, or one-but-wishing-I-was-the-other.

Normal service will be attempted shortly. (This is also the first entry I've attempted on a phone, so humorous typos are Swype's fault. Anyone know a decent Android app for LJ?)

Presumably there's been fairly little sleeping while wishing you were at work? Unless you have very strange dreams...

Glad to hear you danced successfully without getting blown away or killing anyone. :-)

Actually, since changing jobs last year, I have had a vastly increased number of dreams which revolve confusingly around Excel spreadsheets! But yes, less of the wishing I was at work while sleeping :)

I think you'll find it's September... :)

Dammit! Give me back my eleven days, etc.

To be fair, we did try to injure you seriously at Whitby but you shook off a sword to the eye-socket surprisingly well!

It's all part of my Hard Stare. I learned everything I know from Paddington Bear.

Are you OK? Is your car OK?

Am fine and can now go out after dark again!
