Enjoyed seeing The Farm at Manchester Adored, just wish they had been on for longer. Looks like the crowd enjoyed it too! According to my countdown app it's 138 days until I will see them again, that sounds like an awful long time!
The Farm on stage at Manchester Adored. There's 3 sets of pyrotechnics shooting upwards. The crowd at Manchester Adored taken from in front of the stage. People are singing with their arms outstretched

A beautiful day in Dumfries!
A view of the river Nith in Dumfries. The sky is blue with the odd fluffy clouds. The river level is quite high and there are trees on both sides of the river. The photo is taken from a footbridge over the river.

I annoyed the barman by asking for a straight glass instead of one with a stem. He did a great lip curl though!

This afternoons listening choices. Happy 31st birthday to Jollification! It's also the 31st birthday of The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers. I had to sell a lot of my CDs when I was married and am trying to build my collection again. Yet to get The Holy Bible again..
2 CDs on a carpet. One is The Royston Club: Songs for the Spine, the other is Jollification by The Lightning Seeds.

Lovely out there today
A view of the River Eden in Carlisle, taken from Eden Bridge. The river is low so an island with gravel and grasses can be seen. There's trees and bushes on both sides of the river. The sky is bright blue with the odd little fluffy cloud

Have arrived at Deer Shed Festival 🦌. The tent is up and am looking forward to a great weekend. Have already spotted someone with a guitar, hope they're not camping near me!

Thanks but I'll keep my t-shirt, even though I will never wear it. It nearly reaches my knees! There's always a chance I will get a bandage one day!
