{ air show and music and stuff. }


1) air show: Festival finally kicked off yesterday and the weather was glorious; so much so that my face is sunburnt even though I wore a big hat! Saw a full schedule of flying then went into Bournemouth in the evening for the night-time activities, including seeing the dusk displays (amazing) and T-Rextasy on the Corona stage by the Pier. I AM SO TIRED TODAY! It's kind of cloudy today so I'm not sure what will happen with the flying schedule this afternoon, but Peter is still wanting to go down early as one of his favourite parts of the festival is the Navy boys storming the beach with their landing crafts. I don't mind that too much either =)

If any of you have a few minutes and want to see what's going on, here's a live stream of festival events throughout the day, though bear in mind it's quite cloudy today so I'm not sure how much flying will happen, though tomorrow is supposed to be really good weather again =)

2) camera: My camera died yesterday, which makes me very sad. Remember how I'd got this one off ebay really cheap to replace the old one which kept getting a lens error? Same thing on this one. Gutted.

3) mike tompkins: [livejournal.com profile] starrylizard posted this today and I had to share too; he's incredibly talented and ridiculously adorable!




Hope you're all doing okay and having a lovely weekend ♥

Aw - so sorry the camera gave out on you.

But YAY! for that link! I watched a bit of the landings and nearly all the Red Arrows while doing stuff today - what a beautiful setting. Have never been to an air show, too much noise for dog, so it was lovely to see it "live" as it were and actually kind of watch it along with you and Peter - hope you both had a wonderful day.

**hugs**

OMG - have just turned on the news - had no idea this had happened as I only managed to watch the beginning of the display - still no word about the pilot - fingers crossed - hope everything else went ok and you and Peter are safe - just awful.
