Diary (23rd July 2024)
Last night’s dinner was a Japanese curry I had made in Amsterdam over the weekend and brought with me in Tupperware, so all I had to do was heat it up and that was it. Easy peasy. I had curry and rice with Japanese curry roux. Next to me, intern Heloisa was eating white rice and Feijão, Brazilian black bean stew. Malya and Fenu from Madagascar, eat white rice for every meal like I do in Japan, they cooked Katles, Madagascar potato croquettes. The Polish ladies said they were making Polish food. They are making Kotlet mielony, a minced meat dish, and mizeria, a cucumber and yoghurt salad. All sounds delicious.
I feel a bit more relaxed in the second week. Last week, which started with weeding for the dahlia bulbs, was seriously strenuous, but this week it seems easier. We are sorting out the bulbs at the conveyor belt. In the workshop, Polish radio is playing. I’ll write about the detailed work from tomorrow onwards.
