We wake up in the morning, and eat breakfast. We don’t really do anything all day; we make the immense St. Albans Wappenshaw, featuring about 15 airbeds, and much of the day is spent lying on these airbeds in the blazing sun. We get the ghetto blaster working, and listen to Jimi Hendrix, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bob Marley for much of the day. Rosanne joins every single clan, and much of the clan activities (and vegetable slicing) descends into water fights.

We make big cardboard feet with inequalities drawn on them, and we just draw the inequalities straight onto Emilia and Louise’s feet. Nick writes his address on the back of his cardboard foot (Nick, The Tool Tent, Village 37). Meanwhile, Simon, Becky, Martha and Tom paint the St. Albans Marquee to avoid foot-painting. Rosanne’s circle T-shirt has “Caity Roe” painted on the back in big red letters, together with a quite scary looking stick figure. Emilia teaches everyone the three point plan, and in the process of this, Simon paints her lips red with paint, and she leaves lip-marks on Rosanne’s t-shirt. Rosanne, meanwhile, repaints the red star on Chris’s t-shirt with more red paint.

We go down to the river for the first time, and although only a couple of us had originally planned to swim, we end up all going in, half of us still wearing our clothes. The star on Chris’s t-shirt starts to run, and Chris is able to print the star on everybody. Arthur and Simon both have a star in red paint imprinted on their chest, which shows no sign of coming off.

We go off into the central area again that night, having started on the Boddingtons earlier. Chris mentioned the ghetto blaster, and before anyone could do anything, Alan ran off back to the tents to fetch it. Meanwhile, we run into Evan, who mumbles incoherently about an underground two-step club. We meet Adam again, and we mention the Emilia / Sex Demon incident, to which Adam remarks that he must have been on drugs. Rosanne runs into poor Andrew Gowland, and scares him by reminding him about the incident on ADC where Harry threw her into the mens toilets and soaked him by mistake. She then pretends to be Caity Roe.

We slowly make our way back to our tents, Joe taking any opportunity he can to steal Rosanne’s hat. We sit around Arthur’s leaky tent, for some reason, and Simon produces his Trangia and begins to cook noodles. Arthur rivals Simon’s trangia with his gas stove. Becky and Simon sit next to eachother, with Emilia between them. She is mistaken for Simon’s swollen leg, with much bluntness and innuendo from Arthur. People fall asleep and move around quite regularly at various points during this night. Alan returns with the ghetto blaster and a woman. Arthur and Anna are believed to be twins. Chris goes to bed early because he’s an old man. Emilia’s mouth fills with mucus, and she has to clear it out and start again. Becky wonders what happened to the man with the head of an orange. Everyone falls asleep bit by bit, some people sleeping outside.
