"In the past, the National Library has had a computer cafe set up in one corner of the main venue (the old Election Tally Room; I forget its other name bits it's just south of the Festival Office) and I was able to log onto Mudcat from there."

They didn't do the internet cafe last year. Instead they said there was going to be free wi-fi, so I took my laptop, but it all went awfully wrong for some reason and there was no internet last year. Maybe this year will be better.

I've been away in Scotland for 4 months with my lovely squeezy Morris man, Rob (Quantock on Mudcat). We're back here to do the National and then to tie the knot at St Albans 3 weeks later.

We'd like other alternatives to the hymn singing session too. I never made it last year (slept in). Hung around the session bar a couple of times around 1pm, but hardly saw anybody.

I like the idea of the stock camp somewhere around the middle of the day. I want to introduce Rob to the joys of stew and damper and billy tea. I think any day would suit us. Any preferences, Andrez?

Otherwise, wherever you hear the jingle of bells, we probably won't be too far away. We are camping and hanging out with Black Joak Morris. In fact, my tent is already up! Thank you Duncan!

We were going to try and get there on Wednesday, but there's been so much to do that Thursday is looking more likely at this stage.
