Today is quite a rainy day, and we spend a lot of time in the Ghetto of Sin. Alan starts drinking before lunch. Everyone looks very bedraggled, and Anna comes into the tent to an unique greeting from Alan. We spend much of the morning making cranes for Hiroshima Day, where Arthur shows an unique ability with folding paper, and is able to make a quail from a tiny square of Rizla paper. Emilia and Greg return.

We then go back into the Tool Tent, where we boil up a load of Haribo, Extra Strong Mint, and Marshmallows, making a strange orange soup -like concoction, which tasted really cool, in a very sweet manner. Arthur warns us that if we coat him in flammable tent material, the retribution will be severe.

Lizzie comes to visit us, to pick up Joe to go on holiday. Her parents see the ghetto, and suggest that we may have come on camp in order to get fresh air. Rosanne gives her a packet of Rizla to take on holiday. The mess in the ghetto is added to by the presence of a hanging, bound and gagged dead baby. Adrian asks us not to smoke in the tents, whatever it may be that we were smoking. Grace arrives.

We all walk down to the central area for Hiroshima Day, together with Cranes and Lanterns. However, not much is going on, due to the torrential rain. We all sit in a Marquee, and sing songs. Grace sees Arthur and Anna, and thinks that they might be walking arm in arm just to annoy her. However, soon she sees that instead, their old passions are revived!

In our Marquee, everyone is drawing on the tables, and Ellie draws a picture of Becky with her melancholy aura. We discuss what would happen if the leaders were to find out about some of the couples, and try to keep hidden from Adrian. Then, a load of kids nearly blow up a gas lantern.

It’s back to the tents, and more Tooling up. Grace and Tom avoid the smoking, and spend a great deal of time in the Gimp tent “playing cards”. Ivy wonders how Alan’s cup ended up in Town 3 Marquee, a question which Alan himself was considering. Tom tries to encourage Grace and Rosanne to have lesbian sex. (?) Rosanne, however, has met a boy called Rob, who hitherto became known as Cheese Sandwich Boy, due to his search for a cheese sandwich.
