Cleaning and splinters

I spent a good part of the day cleaning while on duty; it’s amazing what people can forget about. I cleaned out the crew cupboards and the crew fridge, gross things left behind leaking juice. I tallowed the mizzen topgallant mast and got a deep splinter in my hand, I had Richard take it out, but he was too slow and gentle so Jesse jabbed and gouged at me and he got it out. Then I was sent to find iron work and that was a big sweaty mess digging under sails and rigging, but the right piece could not be found.
