It’s the Womad weekend again! This year, instead of 2 days and one evening of world music we have an extra day on the holiday Monday! And I was planning to use Monday to recover, do clothes washing and other such mundane, simple things that can be carried out in a slow fashion! Instead I will be dancing yet again, and the washing will have to wait until the following weekend.

I was dancing last night, and realised it had been a ear since I was last out dancing, not since last years Womad in fact! I whole year between dances - thats a bit of a scary thought. But at the same time, there has been a whole lot of hooping going on in that year, so maybe i have made up for it. It felt funny dancing without a hoop last night - I really missed the hoop and have been thinking about bringing it with me…. But that means it would be awkward when we want to be in the throng up close to the stage, or when it rains and everyone crowds in together… I am thinking I might not worry about the camera due to the rain as well. Hmmm, what to pack this morning….

The Byron Bay Donut Company is back again this year, oooh, watch out hips! The food selection is truly amazing, they have a whole variety of very creative, ethnically varied food and good size serves too. Its going to be a great weekend, despite the rain.
