[Pedro the Fisherman]

I awoke very early and noticed my roommate had not returned that night, perhaps he was breaking the rules! I slipped into my jogging pants (no underwear today!) and Tshirt, slipped on my jacket and made my way outside. It was a wonderful morning with a heavy dew on the grass and blue sky above. Although only 6.30 am, it was pleasantly warm already. One of the Male course members was out jogging, but apart from that I was alone with my excitement.
I knew we would be ‘disrobing’ late that morning, still about five hours away. I couldn't wait!

I went into the common room and made a coffee, half awake on a couch was my roommate, a guy called Nick. “I'm an insomniac” he said, I crash out here now, as I read most of the night. “You have the room to yourself, if you like. I'll just use the shower when I need it”. That sounded great, but if I followed the rules, it would make little difference anyway.
Breakfast started at 8am and was soon buzzing with excited people, all bubbling about last evening’s revelations. I looked for the nervous lady from dinner, she was nowhere to be seen. I briefly caught sight of Sian the other side of the room, but she was deep in conversation with the jogger I'd seen earlier. It later transpired that they were both cross country runners at quite a high level.

I was joined by the large Norfolk lady (we'll call her Sue) who was very hyped up. “do you know what's going to happen next?” she said and without waiting for me to reply, blurted loudly “ we're all going to strip off stark bollock naked!”. I raised an eyebrow and said “ what at breakfast?”. “No, silly...once we're back in the ‘room of love’s...exciting isn't it!”. I claimed ignorance, knowing it was some time further ahead that morning, but couldn't be seen to know better. “have you been naked in front of strangers before" she quizzed. “yes, quite a lot" I said. “ oh cripes, nobody has ever seen me naked since I was a toddler...and there's rather a lot more of me nowadays!” I tried to change the subject and was saved by the arrival of G, carrying a large bowl of fruit and cereal. “ have a good breakfast, it's a long session this morning" she announced. “I will" I said heading for second helpings.
