The Normal Routine - DayTime (part 2 of 3)
Tuesday 25th April 2000

Our Chef, Ruth, works a long week. She starts her days early at about 4am on Tuesday through Saturday and has Monday mornings and all of Sunday mornings off. Ruth's busiest day is a Saturday with her preparation for the Saturday night tea which is the busiest and biggest meal of the week.

On Sundays the Saturday's rostered slushy (chef's assistant) becomes the chef and cooks the Sunday evening dinner.

Ruth also looks after the station hydroponics facility tending to the whims of all the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, trombones, lettuce.

One of Ruth's station appointments is the hairdresser, so when our hair becomes too long and drags on the floor we make an appointment with Ruth!
