We woke up quite early with sore bones and sleepily greeted the
various hippies that strolled in and out of the kitchen.
Daniel seemed to have
gone so we had to try to find another ride home, but after nothing happened for
a long while we decided to walk to the highway and hitchhike. The weather had
thankfully eased up and we also didn’t get lost on the meandering street
through various farms, and were soon picked up by an old Asian man. He happened
to go to the post office which suited us very well, as we could finally finally
sent off all our post cards (written in our first week here). After that we felt
rather hungry and decided to have breakfast in a little café – egg sandwiches
seemed to be the best vegetarian thing on the menu but they were rather yellow
in colour and not too pleasant. We hitchhiked home after that, where we had to
start working pretty immediately – grass for the cow was gotten, poo was
shovelled and I got started on a big fairy mural in Kali’s room which occupied
me for most of the day.

Just as I was packing up all my stuff and left to go to our
room, Jai Dev panickedly came running through the rain, saying that there was
an thunderstorm-related emergency with the generator, meaning we had no power and had to take all
plugs out of the plug sockets and were not even allowed to flush the toilet. We spent the evening sitting in our dark room by
candlelight and started watching ‘The Calcium Kid’ with the remaining battery
life on Sarah’s laptop, finding constant hilarity in Orlando Bloom’s terrible
terrible acting, but at some point the DVD started glitching and we decided to
call it a night.
