It's A Busy Weekend...

for many. Especially sports wise...a Rugby Tour between Australia and the UK(after two games it is drawn and down to the last in the series)there is a Formula 1 Grand Prix taking place at Silverstone in England, Wimbledon is happening and we still have a British Woman trying to get into the second week(and its close)and in it's approx 41st year, The Glastonbury Music Festival.

I'm afraid I am following none of them. Just resting and being quiet. However, I may tune in this evening and watch/listen to the headlining act and its their first appearance at the festival, The Rolling Stones.

I wonder just how much longer they can continue but I say that of the few groups I have seen in the past year and who are of a similar age. In a radio interview this morning you hear a different side of Mick Jagger. I haven't heard many interviews with him and the person who launched the festival all those years ago and there was a slight hint that just perhaps this could be the last festival.

I'm not sure who would take it on and whether a new person would wish to use the area in a similar way. The rest of the year I understand it is used as a working farm.

Me? Most of what I want to do and see will be happening this coming week, possibly some trips and next weekend the Proms in the Park in Darlington and now I discover a music event is taking place on the streets of Durham(more details later)but brass bands of different styles from the UK and abroad are appearing. So just as well I am taking it easy and building up my energy, all I can hope for is decent weather(well as long as it doesn't rain heavily)

ETA:Our British hope at Wimbledon lives to fight another day. Some are disappointed/angry with the Rolling Stones...unbeknown to all, they stipulated that their concert could not be shown in full and the reason? They are bringing out a DVD! At this time in their career would it really have done any harm to show it all? I'm sure the DVD would still sell well and they are financially sound.
