Morning comes, and in the Gimp tent, Chris finds the bottle of Whiskey in his sleeping bag, and Rosanne and Rob seem to have vanished in the night, along with one of Simon’s shoes. There’s still no sign of them at breakfast, but Alan gets his own morning cry, consisting of two people standing either side of the Tool tent, shouting “Alan! Get up!” after his complaints that he couldn’t hear the normal one.

Rosanne and Rob reappear after breakfast, and we learn exactly why they left last night. She tries to make Chris do the three-point-plan on Rob at some point in the future. It truly is the day of misunderstandings, and Simon accidentally calls Becky “Emilia”, much to the indignation of Becky. It doesn’t stop there, however, as Chris then calls Becky “Emilia”, and to top it all, Alexi calls Anna “Emilia”, thinking she was Becky. And chaos ensued. Simon, meanwhile, formulates quite a complicated plan to clone Emilia and kill Becky.

Some of us go canoeing, a rather cold experience, where Rosanne invites people to “join the clique”. Simon rolls several times, and Chris fails to roll at all, and falls out of the boat. All of this, coupled with falling off a big raft made out of barrels, naturally leaves us very wet, and subsequently freezing cold.

By now, most of Arthur’s storage tents have turned into Love Nests, the most notable of which are Ringo Starr, which is Arthur and Anna’s cluttered love nest, with two doors for convenient entry, and Emilia and Pat’s well stocked love nest, Soulfly, featuring a double airbed. Becky and Simon claim Army Ant, formerly just Simon’s “equipment tent”, and Louise and Robert, meanwhile, have comandeered the Lust tent, and not even Chris’s soup throwing can deter them from this target.

We spend quite a lot of time in the Tool tent, and the phrase “tooling up” is born. Tom and Grace avoid the smoke by retreating into the Gimp tent and “playing cards”. Chris does the three-point-plan on Rob three times, but he fails to notice at all.

Evening comes, and we find outselves playing Reggae Riley on the stage in the Cafe International for the second time, but this time with an audience; An audience including Milko, who makes insulting gestures directed towards a certain performer, but who admits by the end that the performance was “pretty good”. Simon and Alan, however, stay in the tents until later, and miss out on yet another performance of our infamous song. Chris subsequently has an unusual moment, featuring jacket-smelling and matchmaking, with uncertain results for both counts. Most of the Barnet group, however, now know what happened in the Gimp tent on the previous night, much to very different reactions from all involved.

We all wander down to the Activity Barn and surrounding areas, and Pat and Emilia produce the fateful bottle of Vodka. Maybe this is why Simon and Alan turn up at this point. It’s passed around, and both Emilia and Becky are fairly tipsy. However, all of this is surpassed by Rosanne, who before long is unable to stand. Becky tries to help Rosanne by lying next to her and shouting her name. Alan get annoyed and Simon soon removes Becky. We make several attempts to make Rosanne stand up, but to no avail, and we sit her on a plastic chair whilst we decide what to do and make sure that a similar fate doesn’t befall Becky or Emilia. Both certainly spend some time on the floor, but nothing compared to Rosanne.

We decide the best solution to avoid trouble and suspicion is to get Rosanne back to the tents, although there are some short lived plans to go find a stretcher. We decide that we need a way to draw as little attention to us as possible, but failing that, we all take turns carrying Rosanne. As she is carried, she wonders where her camera is, assures us that she’s never sick, that she has just one clean hoodie left, and refers to her size and that she is fine. Every now and again she asks for Becky and Rob. Becky, however, is busy pestering people for cigarettes, claiming that “cannabis smell is the best smell in the world”.

As we are carrying Rosanne, we pass a marquee where they are showing “all four star wars films”. We decide that it might be a plan to stay there for a while with Rosanne, and so we split up, half of us staying there whilst the other half go off to get Rosanne’s sleeping bag. Whilst watching the film, Rosanne and Becky shout at eachother across the marquee, much to the surprise of Mr Feldman, and Arthur has to hide the bottle of Whiskey from Becky, who is still quite drunk, and keeps trying to find it. As we are returning with the sleeping bag, we see Rosanne and Rob and Alan returning to the tents. Alan comes into his own as the drunk-person-carer, and ensures that Rosanne is okay. However, whilst we have her lying on a grass verge, a couple of official looking people ask us what’s going on. Chris bluffs that everything is under control, even as Rosanne shouts “I’m FINE! This is just my one clean hoodie!” at them.

We take her back to the tent, and Alan gives her water to drink. She falls fast asteep, and Rob goes to sleep there too, in Nick’s sleeping bag. We look in the Tool tent, but Emily is lying there, half awake, with an unconscious Evan lying across her, pinning her to the ground. We express slight confusion at this, especially as Emily seems to be shoving biscuits into Evan’s open mouth, but we wander to the other tents. However, Lust is once again Louise and Robert’s love nest, and Grace and tom have hijacked the Carnality tent. Becky drunkenly shouts at both pairs about the selfishness of having only two people in a tent and is quite rude to Louise… So, as it’s a nice night, we drag a load of airbeds outside, and lie down outside the Soulfly tent. We pass the whiskey around, despite Becky imploring Nick not to drink it. Nick, meanwhile, has found a sleeping bag, but it’s Ivy’s, and she soon demands it back. Nick wanders off, and returns with another sleeping bag. He doesn’t know whose it is, but he doesn’t seem to mind.

The talk turns to how we’re next to Soulfly, and how Emilia’s love nest is full of the shrunken skulls of her ex-boyfriends, a subject which can mostly be attributed to Becky and Alan. Emilia returns, with Pat, and Becky warns them not to go into Soulfly, as “it’s full of the shrunken skulls of your ex-boyfriends!”. Emilia looks confused, and Pat falls on Becky, Simon, Chris and Alan. They both protest that we can’t be serious in wanting to spend the night right outside their tent! Then, along comes Alison, and Becky shouts at her because she doesn’t like Spaced. Alan adds insult to injury by suggesting that you need to be on drugs to watch it, but coming from Alan, this isn’t actually directed as an attack on Spaced!

Then, it starts raining, and Evan and Emily seem to have gone from the Tool Tent. Simon and Becky disappear into Army Ant, and Chris, Alan and Nick go into the Tool Tent, where Nick and Alan start making joints. Chris falls asleep. We’re all woken by Evan, who at about four in the morning, stumbles back into the Tool tent. We all look at him, but he looks more confused than us, and wanders off, muttering...
