The 6 Ps

As the saying goes, Perfect Preparation Prevents P… Poor Performance and with this in mind I've just spent the weekend at the Isle of Wight festival. No, I wasn't there to jump around like a nutter to Jay-Z, or consume my own body weight in beer everyday. No, I didn't go to spend the weekend basking in the sun (or slurping through the mud in my wellies - as was the case on Friday). I was, in fact, in training for my first ten weeks in Mexico. Rocking out to The Strokes was just an added bonus. Honest.


Having spent 5 days without shower facilities, none of the usual luxuries of home and the delightful experience of non-flushing festival toilets (the HORROR) I am soooooo prepared for life on the base in Punta Gruesa it's almost frightening. I laugh in the face of bucket showers.



That said, the first thing I did when I got home on Monday evening was to shower and wash my hair. Twice. And then again the next morning. Wellllllll, just because I proved I can rough it, doesn't mean I should suffer unnecessarily...
