The workers boats normally get shore power supplied on the evening of the first Tuesday, but there was a problem with the cabling and distribution boxes this year, and Bungle had to come back yesterday morning to get it finally sorted out. This he had achieved by lunchtime, so now we will have no need to run the engine for the rest of our time here. There’s a water tap within reach, too, so we’re set up for all our needs.
As I expected, after doing the newsletter and blog stuff, we found ourselves back on the fenceline. We’ve put up most of the night fence now; this is the fence which separates the exhibition area from the Food Court and Bar. Some of it can be left up,where it runs behind marquees but the rest will be taken down every morning of the Festival, and put up again every evening.
There’s to be a lot more fiddling about yet, but we are getting there.
In the evening, the toilets and shower blocks showed up to go in the WRG compound and campsite, and the marquees are due to arrive today.
I featured briefly on Radio Berkshire this morning, but that’s a story for tomorrow.
