It's been one week since..

I have been on the kibbutz for one week and the Barenaked Ladies are in my head...not literally! I mean this

:

I discovered on my second day of work, which was Monday. The week starts on a Sunday and Friday night and Saturday, the Sabbath day, are the weekend over here. (Bye bye lazy Sundays!) Anyway I discovered after night of wine and beer, stacking shelves with a hangover is easy! Especially when you have unlimited cups of coffee.  

Since then I have only had one hangover free day and it was actually the only one where I fell asleep while at work. Not for long mind. You know when you feel your eyes close for a second and you have consciously wake yourself up?  

Starting work at 6:30am is actually good! Never thought I'd say that as I find getting up the morning a bit of a chore, luckily zombies make good shop assistants.  I usually come home after finishing work at 2 and have a bit of a nap if I'm feeling tired. Then chill out, get a shower, make some food and the evening of booze, bonfires and laughter follows.

Apologises to my liver. I am having another drinking free night tonight! Way to sound like an alcoholic but I am young and having fun. That's the excuse I'm sticking to anyway.
I think my highlight of this week's evening activities was last night, although it might just be the one I can recall most clearly. It was quiet and chilled. It was Lucas's (the Brazilian) last night, we had fire, BBQ, guitar, singing and drums made from bins and buckets. Hippietastic! I always seem to be one of the last to head to bed every night. I am sure this will change if I get moved to one of the more labour intensive jobs though.

Everything is changing all the time here. People leave and new people arrive its really interesting seeing how people's interactions change with each other. We had two German girls arrive the other day and some of the guys have clearly slipped into trying to impress mode, as when the two girls were cleaning  the kitchen they actually offered to help. When  Drees and I cleaned the kitchen on Saturday they weren't so helpful.

I need to remember to start taking some photos now and then!
