Live8 - Comments, photographs, some moaning about the pain in my calves.

Ooooh. It doesn't half ache standing for 12 hours at my age.

I really enjoyed my time at Live 8. I was, I imagine, right in their target demographic so I guess I would. There was a lot of people I'm a fan of on the bill so of course they impressed, plus I was smart enough to realise before I got there that I was unlikely to see the stage so wasn't disappointed with my position in the park. The packed lunch was a good idea, too. I've just remember I was really proud that we stayed right to the end

Reading through comments here and talking to my parents I get the impression we had a better experience of Live 8 than the BBC victims viewers. For a start we only suffered a short bout of Fern Cotton. We saw a lot of supplementary video and highlights from other concerts that I think home viewers missed (The crowd *rocked* to Bon Jovi from Philadelphia) *and* we couldn't see Jonathan Ross' suit.

( The highlights )

( The lowlights )

I know that most people would say Pink Floyd was the defining moment of the concert but I'm sad to say that George Michael walking on was mine. What can I say? I'm unashamedly a fan.

Oh, and looking at the other shows Germany and J'Burg looked like there were a HOOT.

Dad's investigating feet.

While I was shouting "Leave the kids on stage, make Mariah leave" on Saturday Dad was finding out about the local allotments for me. I can have a guided tour at any time I like and Dad's contact is quite enthusiastic about it. There's a plot that "needs a lot of work" free at the moment but there's a worked plot that is coming free at the end of the season which might be better for me, particularly as another person is interested in it and has been muttering about only taking half a plot. I'm a bit worried by this because I can already forecast my perceived neglegence making him mutter about the effect on his crops.

I'm giving the LJ collective another opportunity to make my mind up for me. Bear in mind I may well ignore you completely as I've no idea of what I want to do.
