From the day book
Midday
Lunch away from the desk, errands on foot, the long middle stretch.
Twenty rounds before the pan
Saturday flatbreads, weighed once and then done by feel: one bowl, one worktop, and twenty rounds resting under a cloth.
A quilt on the roof line
Washing day for the heavy things. The red quilt takes the whole line and most of the afternoon sun.
The card with flour in its creases
Three eggs, a cup of flour and a handwritten recipe card that has been used so often it is mostly thumbprint.
