The first day was primarily spent sorting out our ‘bedroom’ so that it was fit to live in and then onto some brick building. It was good to see the blisters reopening after a hard days work with two batches of soil completed in the first day. In the evening we joined Fred and Philip for dinner, which was, as always delicious - the 3R’s cook definitely requires an award for ‘Outstanding Cooking in a rubbish Kitchen/Chicken House’. The second day we were greeted with rain for the first time since we’d been in the village. I accompanied Phillip to Lugazi to buy some paint for the Counsellors room and some timber for the furniture. The trip was relatively painless although undercoat proved to be quite elusive for the most part! Whilst away, James, Marianne and Winifred began smoothing down the walls ready for painting. With Marianne as Team Leader for the painting of the Counsellors Room the undercoat was splashed on. HYT had decided that one wall in each room should be a bright colour so out came the cornflower blue to finish the effect! The striking contrast proved to be a valuable asset to the room and really gave it that finishing touch. In the evenings we underwent regular chef master classes from the one and only Fred Ramsay who taught us how to make ‘rolex’, which to the unknown is chapatti with an omelette inside and delicious! The week was a huge success with not only the laboratory and library starting to take shape but the Counsellors Office almost 100% complete. Marianne and I became accomplished chefs so it was really a win win win for HYT! Until next time…
