Yesterday was spent just like I said it would, with a little more pleasure and a little less business than initially planned – just what a bank holiday should be all about :)

I was meeting my friend @ ‘The Art of Coffee’, but as they were closed, and apparently always are on bank holidays (wtf?!), we ended up at Il Valentino instead. Not my favorite coffee spot, to be honest, but than again, I wasn’t there for the coffee, but to catch up with Sujatha whom I hadn’t seen in 9 months (shame on me! or rather, shame on the both of us!). And since she’s leaving the country in a little over a week, none of us were about let this opportunity to meet up pass us by!

And I guess the famous ‘better late than never’ obtained a whole new meaning as it was SO good to see her again! We laughed at all sorts of silly things, talked about our (uncertain) future (mostly her’s as her travel plans are a tad more exiting than my currently empty calendar) and simply enjoyed each others company – it was lovely :)

Until met meet again, take care, Sujatha, enjoy your travels and keep in touch! It’s an order! ;)

That book there has been with my on most of my travels and it’s filled with all sorts of scribble scrabble from people I’ve meet along the way. Sujatha’s the first one to put a pen to its paper as it’s been hidden away in my drawer for the last couple of years, but now that things are quickly changing (and I will soon move on from the beautiful Emerald Isle) I’ll make sure it’s revisited more frequently :)

A walk around the block to digest 4 cups of coffee, one croissant and a piece of cake, and, to prolong our chats and postpone the inevitable good bye ‘see you later’ :)
