I walked through the very impressive morning-after-the-night-before clean-up operation. People chucking rubbish bags from bins into the back of trucks plus rows and rows of volunteers picking up and bagging the stuff that never got near a bin. The site would be clean again by the time most people - who so far, at 11am, had had only four hours sleep - emerged from their tents. So no competition for the confetti-strewn  stalls mosh pit for the Birmingham Royal Ballet on the Pyramid Stage at 11:30.

All the dancers were wearing the same style costume, in skin tones. Oh, yes! I absolutely loved their 30 minutes of subverting conventions/expectations. 

I found myself next to the kind people who drove me onto the site exactly a week ago and was glad of the chance to thank them again for making my introduction to Glastonbury so straightforward.

I stopped at the Bandstand to listen to Good Habits, on joyous cello and accordion.

Then this afternoon I was teaching again, and in a lull had another ten minutes of guidance on the cello until another crowd of children came in wanting to learn violin. A bit later one child I was teaching had clearly had enough of violin so I asked whether she'd like to try anything else. Yes, cello. I looked around but my two cello colleagues weren't there. Hmm.
'The cello teacher isn't here but I had my first cello lesson yesterday. Would you like me to teach you what I learnt?'
Oh yes, she would.
The song for learning the names of the violin strings (GDAE) doesn't work on the cello (CGDA) so we made up a song of our own. Luckily once she'd learnt plucking and bowing open strings a proper cello teacher turned up so I went back to violin.

We were due to pack up at 6:45 but I had a hugely enthusiastic and engaged learner at that point and I didn't notice the time until the rest of the team told us we had to stop. The last acoustic lesson of Glasto 24 was mine!

Out we all went. To
- Burna Boy on Pyramid.
- Antikvariniai Kašpirovskio Dantys on the Lizard Stage - Lithuanian exuberance.
- Kirszenbaum at Toad Hall - Polish violin and guitar. I can't find a recording that does them justice so this will have to do.
- Rodney Branigan at Toad Hall - the man who plays two guitars at once, from about a minute in here.

I really wanted to keep going and hear Ushti Baba who were due on at 1:30 am but was too tired and managed only 20 minutes.

On my way out I spotted my beloved velvet jacket, which I had almost, but not completely, come to terms with having lost earlier in the evening, draped over a bench. What luck.
