Today I 'earned' a small mountain of fresh fava beans/ broadbeans, from Maria, in return for cutting her hair!
Even though it appears that there's literally zero take-up on the 4th dose of the jib-jab, nice healthy folks like Maria and I are vietato from most places, and especially the hairdressers'... Maria is much more bothered about this than I am... but either way - it has been a nice opportunity to refresh old skills in e.g. hairdressing, that I've not used in a while.
I cooked the beans up and drizzled them in local olive oil, which I also got from Maria, in return for having helped harvest their olives for oil, last year.... mmmmmmm: my fave-ourite beans ever. :-D
