Croydon Summer Festival

Just popped up into the office to catch up on a few bits and pieces before the onslaught of tomorrow's deadline day.

Nowadays, I usually try to avoid working at weekends, but I do make an exception during deadline week. 

The thing is, I always get twice as much done when it's so blissfully quiet - no phones ringing, no e-mails popping up, no random people turning up at the office with giant aviaries (see: Never a dull moment).

I did manage to take a bit of time out yesterday, however, to catch one of my all-time favourite bands, the Stereo MC's, who were headlining the Croydon Summer Festival in Lloyd Park.

They are always amazing live, but this time they were absolutely phenomenal and, suffice to say, the whole place went wild. 

This was the first time I'd been to Croydon Summer Festival and, I have to say, I was really impressed with the whole thing - the wide range of music; the colourful stalls; the relaxed, friendly vibe. What is more, amazingly, the whole thing is completely free.

The festival carries on all day today as well, so there's still plenty of time to pop over there and have a look round - it really is well worth it.  

As for me, though, it's time to return to the proofreading extravaganza...
