Picked melons; pruned melons. Latter was good as it involved a lot of sitting around outside and even shot-putting with a large rock. Finished work forever on this stinking moshav.

Went to the pub in the evening. George followed us there and left when we did at 2 o'clock. Only drank 4 cans of Maccabees so no staggering around damaging people's property. The pub was not as crowded as normal, as the Thais have been banned for 2 months for fighting. This didn't stop hard-man Banjo from turning up for ¾ hour, though.

George nosed his way to our bedroom floor and slept on Olly's coat.
