nami wakes and arises from her furs.....looking quietly around she pads softly to the basin to wash her face...quickly she straightens her furs and the rest of her room....she then pads quietly through the hallways of the HomeStone looking around to see what all needs to be done....she picks up the mugs and utensils that was used last evening and takes them to the sink and places them down.....she then takes a large pail to the water barrel just outside the door to the servery and fills it with fresh water ..... taking the water into the servery she pours it into the large water kettle hanging on its hook inside the hearth to heat....making a couple of more trips so that the water kettle is full ....she then takes a smaller pail and filling it with water from the barrel she places it as well upon a hook in the hearth....walking to the servery shelves she looks around and finds what she wants... the new package of fresh beans for black wine....opening the package she places a handful of the dark, aromatic beans into a clean repcloth and tying it tightly she places it in the small pail of heating water....inhaling deeply as the rich aroma permeates the room......turning she grabs another small pail and dips some of the warm water from the large kettle and takes it over to the sink and pours it over the dishes therein and then she tosses some soap flake into the water and watches as it bubbles....taking a clean repcloth she washes and rinses all of the dishes and dries them thoroughly and places them in their area on the servery shelves....looking around she takes a repcloth and dusts all of the servery area and going throughout the HS she dusts down all of the rooms including Masters and the guest rooms....she then takes the broom and mop and sweeps all the dust from the HS and then mops it to sparkling cleanliness.......she opens all of the windows to let the rooms air out as she heads for the servery to put away the broom and mop......she then walks into the chillery and looking around finds a large bosk roast and taking it in her hands she decides to grab some larma fruit that she had sliced earlier from the chillery and takes her items to the counter closing the chillery door on her way out ..... placing the food items on the counter she decides to get some fresh veggies and walks out to the small garden ..... looking around she gets some suls and some carrots and peas........as she walks out of the garden she pauses and reaches over to grab some fresh onion and then walks into the servery and places the veggies in the sink and dipping some water out of the smaller barrel by the counter she rinses the veggies clean of any dust and soil.....then she looks under the counter and gets two large pots and fills them half full with water from the barrel and sets them on the counter and she then places the roast in one pot, adding the suls and carrots that she has cleaned and sliced.....in the other pot she adds the peas that she has shelled and rinsed and one by one she places them upon the shelves of rock cut into the hearth to cook slowly all day......going back to the counter she washes and cuts the onion ...... walking back to the hearth she removes the lid from the roast and adds the onion and some other spices to it and stirs .... re-covering the roast she smiles as she sees that all is done...... she then dips out some of the rich blackwine and takes a small break thinking on what else needs to be done this day.
