and it feels like rain | eggs and toast

To write here feels like a luxury - and in many ways I guess it is. The transition from holidays to work has been a bit of a shock to the system. My feet are feeling it the worst - swapping jandals for lab-appropriate footwear (no sandals, no ballet flats...boots/sneakers). It has also been excellent and full. Thinking to myself "are you being effective?" whilst in the lab has upped my productivity immensely. I've got a (self imposed) deadline in six weeks that I'm working towards - and other interesting things going on too. This weekend I am spending Friday night and Saturday (just) out of the city - I have my fingers crossed for good weather, unlike tonight when, walking up the hill, I got caught in an unexpected summer downpour.

If you've arrived here from oscarlucinda, welcome! I'd like to tell you that usually I do try and post recipes - but this week dinners have been some variation of egg, chilli, onion, (new season!) garlic, kale on toast, loosely inspired by kate's baked eggs recipe. Our garden is mass producing broad beans at the moment so expect something broad beans focussed soon ..
