day one started obscenely early... was outside Urban Seed @ 9am where Karen (one of the resi's) took me through the building and gave me a tour, met some of the people. @ 11am we started preparation for the lunches, which involves cooking a complete meal for heaps of people :S Then there's prayer/reflection @ 11:45am.
Then everyone comes in for lunch @ 12-1:30, cleanup (which is even more h/core than cooking :S) @ 1:30pm till about 2:30pm, then there's a few meetings for the staff and volunteers, just to check in, make sure everyone's alive etc. I think the day eventually ends @ about 5:30pm... and that's day one...
for day two, the day started @ 8am, where me and Virginia (one of the part-timers) went to queen vic to pick up fresh produce for these cafe lunches. Even though it was early as, it was fun... market is much more fun than your average suburbian supermarket! Got an insane amount of food, trundled all the way back in time for lunch prep, prayer/reflection, lunch and cleanup... after which I sat in on the bible study (1:30~2:30), then that was my day :)
