Changing Places by David Lodge is a funny read concerning academic life. Two academics, one reserved English literature lecturer and one outgoing, ambitious, young American professor, find themselves in a position where they have to swap jobs for a term. Being somewhat familiar with academic life (albeit from an outsider's point of view) I found this book remarkably disturbing and could have easily replaced some of the character's names with names of people that I know. It was a very funny read, and worryingly some of the problems with academia still persist today (despite this being a now slightly dated read).
As for recipes - no photos for March but the total of 3 new recipes were tried, although none from my magazine subscription. It was a bit of a crazy month with work picking up big time which is good. The rest of the school year also promises to be that much busier as I now (finally) have some more permanent work. This half term I have 2 confirmed days a week, so there will be less going to sleep with the phone by my ear wondering where and if I will be working the next morning. Hurrah!
