New Brit brings first rain storm!

Wow I haven't posted anything in over a week. I have been off work these past two days with a bug an  right now I am trying to keep myself awake so I can get a normal nights sleep an  go to work tomorrow.

My last post I talked about the big volunteer meeting. As a result of that we got invited to go to a Rock n Roll party on another kibbutz last Friday. 6 of us went along from Ein Hashlosha an  two guys from kibbutz Reim. We had mattresses to sleep on in the kindergarten so we were set to drink and dance the night away. Unfortunately the DJ was rubbish. He even left at one point and they just played dubstep but we still managed have fun playing drinking games and amusing ourselves.  It was a change from the Mafia and nice have some different people to drink with.

Amazing acrobatics

Oh yeah last Thursday the kibbutz had a free trip to Jerusalem for the knights festival. They had these amazing acrobatics doing a performance. There was a crane with a ring with a drum kit and drummer inside hanging from it and then below that was like a metal sphere cage with three female performers doing absolutely amazing stuff all suspended in mid air. This was the highlight of my night as I got a bit tired cold and grumpy towards the end of the night. I managed to lose everyone in the massive crowds and had forgotten to bring a jacket with me.

Me and Cory before losing everyone.

We had a new girl arrive on Sunday! A fellow Brit! I got back from playing a game of football with 3 other volunteers and 4 guys who live on the kibbutz and she was here. The football game we lost terribly. 8-4 I think was the final score. We were doing well to start of with but seemed to get steadily worse but it was good fun.

Later that evening it rained! Really rained. The whole time I have been here it has drizzled for about a minute one day and that was it.  I had almost started missing the rain. Felt like home for a second haha except it wasn't bitterly cold at the same time.

It's great to have another British girl back in the house some things just don't translate to other countries.

I am off to Eilat with Garam an Alex on Friday to meet up with Debra who was my room mate from Manchester and the first volunteer I met on my arrival! She is now working on a nature reserve and we are visiting to celebrate her Birthday. My first holiday taken on the kibbutz I better not still be ill!
