Taken at the Spanish Arch. This dog is what I imagine Sirius looks like in his animagus form. I like the red colour :)

Breakfast at Buon Appetit :)

Then a walk through the market and I bumped into Ms Mal0ne, the topgun in breast surgery, wheeling her little kid. Literally bumped into her and the pushchair because of the crowd around the fish stall. Also bumped into Prof L0ftus, the dean, in Anthony Ryans and again, in Charlie Byrnes. Oh, I found another fan of Mr Neil Gaiman in Charlie Byrnes and she works at the bookshop and promised to call me if any of his books come in. She’s been reading one of his works where he did a collaboration with Dave McKean. Happy, happy me :) Along with my absolutely glowing feeling at finding a Gaiman comrade, I came out with ‘M is for Magic’ by Mr Gaiman, ‘The Little Prince’ and ‘Beedle the Bard’. Very nearly bought Enid Blyton’s stuff too, but my bag’s heavy enough as it is.

I also met the ward clerk from Roscommon and it’s like ‘hey, you’re here too!’

For lunch, we spent hours sitting in Milano, ordering Fiorentina pizza without grana padano (whatever that is) and Nicoise salad (pretending that I’m some posh lady when in fact, I only ate the tuna, potatoes, tomatoes and one green thing). We talked, read my photography magazine (which is cool by the way), watched people pass by, had pistachio, lemon and coffee gelato (weird combination, but I like), enjoyed the sun and just had great time.

CQ’s partner at work said that she always sees me walking from the bus stop to this place and was wondering if I was visiting my boyfriend here XD Yes, I am, CQ told her XD To be so willing to travel the three-hour journey, on two buses every weekend… I must be totally in love XD

Grana padano is a cheese. Ah.

Please let it be windy and sunny tomorrow because I want to go kite flying again
