Good job, good job!



Here are some reasons I love working in the galley. This is a picture, but you have to imagine it with lots of people, activity, music and singing.



The galley looks quiet.  It's not.








There are people preparing food, cooking, washing mounds of pans, utensils, serving pans and singing!  Sometimes with the music that is playing, sometimes not.  In the midst of all this activity, someone will raise their voice with that wonderful African accent.  Good job, good job!
Some of us will be cutting pineapple.  Really, the pineapples here are enormous.  Even the spikes on the outside look lethal.  How can anyone not be happy slicing one of these pineapples?  They are so sweet, and the juice runs right on the floor.
When we clean the floors at the end of the day, we throw buckets of soapy water and scrub with long handled brushes, and try to get the water brushed down the floor drains.  I was brushing water, and the water was coming back toward me.  Yes, we're on a ship!  We are tilted the other way today!
We have a few Brits working in the galley.  What's for tea?  Steak and mash?  Put the pans on the trolley to take down to the dining room on the lift!
Good job, good job!
