I had my worst night on the kibbutz on Friday. On Thursday I got the results from the swab of my throat the nurse took before I went to Eilat. Turns out I have Strep throat infection so I am on antibiotics for 10 days. Hence no drinking for me as I don't want to weaken the effects of the penicillin. Will be so nice not to cough all the time!
As everyone gets drunk on a Friday I was prepared for it not being the best of evenings but it was worse then I expected. For some reason people went crazy! There are two kinds of people here. The 18 and 19 year olds who are pretty much straight out of school never lived away from home before and the over 20s who ars escaping stressful jobs or unemployment and generally trying to figure what to do with their lives. Friday night the children kicked off. The house was a mess on Saturday and I was super angry as someone had tried to wake me and anyone else who was trying to sleep up at 5am.
It was like being back in university halls of residence all over again. I really wanted to

The next day I sunbathed in the 30 degree sunshine, helped clean the kitchen Rosie took me to see the baby cows, went a bike ride, ate lots of chocolate and ice cream and escaped the house tension at the soldiers house. Saturday wasn't so bad.
Then this morning I got angry again as someone had eaten almost a full pack of salami I had sitting in the fridge and just left me the empty packet there. I got to work to discover the dishwasher was broken which made work a difficult day too. That probably doesn't sound like such a big deal but when you're cooking food for over 100 people that is one he'll of a mountain of washing up.
Things can only get better and they have! Rosie and I did a workout and I went for a run after. Feel so much better for it. Then I watched the zigiest movie with a few other people in the tv room. The rest of the evening I have been on Skype catching up with my mum and dad, which is always nice.
