I "only" lost £312 on my festival show. Obviously this is, in many respects, a disaster. Biggest loss I've made to date. Sharp contrast to my last festival show where I made a profit of £300. And hot on the heels of the £200 I lost with CCC, I must now be the biggest drain on the group's resources after our voluminous cash-guzzling storage space.

But I'd convinced myself with typical pessimism that I was going to lose £500. So I feel absurdly almost cheerful. Money saved, don't you think..?
