Roll With It
Day 4, 20:45


We're only four days in, but without prompting, several of the housemates have already settled into certain roles in the House.

Gos has taken charge of the cooking - hardly surprising given he is a chef - Nush has taken the welfare of the chickens to task, Jon seems keen on his storytelling, Sissy likes to do a spot of organising, Ray has taken to mowing the lawn and Federico amuses himself by flirting with the lasses or teaching people a spot of Spanish.

So far, it seems a House in harmony, with everyone discovering their place and happy to settle into a routine.

Perhaps these keenly defined roles are a good thing. Imagine, for a moment, that these fledgling jobs were to be reversed - it could all go horribly wrong or it could work a treat.

As the old saying goes, heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian and it's all organized by the Swiss. Rearrange who does what and things start to go belly-up!

That said, one thing's for sure - Gos is certainly a blinding coo
