My Bed!My Internship started formally today but as many are on a course this week we are not going to cover everything and will go into more depth middle of next week.
Last night I was luckily given some earplugs and they worked but just after midnight I awoke to awful pain all over, an army of ants had managed to get into my bed, I only had some spray lotion so used that to kill them, there must have been at least 200 was rather an uggy mess to sweep up in the morning, tonight I am prepared and am going to put into use a mosquito net. Please pardon any spelling mistakes and the far too many I's oh and also for me jumping the subject matter all over the place....
Today I learnt how to use the solar ovens and made some gingerbread, it has now been cooking for over 2 hours and still not done, I have been turning the ovens to follow the sun but it is a little cloudy today, giving it another hour then will have to give in and use a regular oven. The sugar here is in a raw state, I was going to tell you what it is called but just can't remember will let you know another time and will also add a photo. It comes in blocks and we store it in the freezer, to use we take 4 blocks and fill a pan that fits them just comfortably half full of water and over a steady heat let them melt down which takes about 1 hour, I think it is far nicer tasting than sugar.
There are about 35 people here in total today and I was on lunch clear up duty, took me over an hour so I felt I deserved a 30 minute break for some 'me time' and to add a little to my blog. I am going to try and write a bit on a daily basis for the first couple of weeks and will try to upload as and when I can, there is so much to tell you. Once I am into the stride of things and have told you the basics of things here I can then go into detiail of the new things that I am learning.
