Y'know, what would be really good would be links to the myspaces of all the artists going to Miskin this year. Do they all have them? I know El Greko (George the unspellable but it's something like Papavgeris, but I like El Greko better as a name) has one and the music on it is a nice taster.

That surprised you didn't it? A post about music!

There will be a Vanwatch report later this morning. Mrs Duck, how is Junkwatch doing? Cap'n'Ella, how is Chickwatch? There is a bitter revisit of winter due, so are your little incubators (sounds rude doesn't it) all well? We know, you know, 'cos we are psychic, that your real reason for starting V8watch is so you can embarrass Brian Rodgers at the Pigs Ear Folk Ale.

I looked at the prices of port in the supermarket on Friday. That's an expensive luxury. What brands are people taking and have they found cheap but good quality sources? So far I have been unable to resist a bottle of mead for the occasion, but what proof should mead be? I think I may have bought a brand wannabee. Cheese will have to be bought just before departure.
