Electric Picnic
Electric Picnic is this weekend and I can't wait. It's a music and arts festival where there's always something to do. I love this weekend. It's a total switch off from real life - you get there, you disconnect and indulge in music, art, comedy, cinema, political debate - whatever you fancy you can find it, or so it seems.
Work has been so hectic, and away from work, there has been a lot going on. So this weekend is coming right when I need it. The campervan is hired, the tents are ready. My ticket is long paid for - I bought it nearly a year ago!
So I'm going to go and I'm going to listen to music that's too loud and meet strange people, and drink too much and eat weird and wonderful cuisine from all over the world (it's the one festival where you can guarantee the food will be good as it has a stage of its own) and I'll spend time with friends - people I've known for years, who let me be me, and I am going to totally relax.
All the day-to-day stuff will be here when I get back, but for 3 days and nights, I get to ignore it as if it wasn't. Life is good when it offers up these little slices of pure pleasure.

This is obviously just what you need, and pretty well-timed too. Have a wonderful time recharging.
