Holidayed for a long weekend. Knackered now. First time at Infest because it wasn't on Bank Hol weekend, when D goes larping. Moved as Bradford was City of Culture. Good news is the crew and bands and everyone thought it was fab at the new place and is running there again next year!

A sign I thought suited me.
Found in the basement of an unused travel shop that the arts organisation I volunteer for, Appetite, moved into for a year until the project closed recently.
