Rowan Tree and Red Thread

As pointed out today by sammywol and mizkit, we wandered out of the house as a family for about the first time in a week, decided on an impromptu lunch in Milanos, a pizza place and firm favourite with Rowan, and bumped into mizkit and her husband T during our wanderings. We diverted them from their own pizza and gelati lunch plans in Gino's, another Italian restaurant nearby, and we all went together to Milanos.

Yay! Socialising with adults, yummy pizza, naughty deserts, and Rowan drew me a UFO with the paper and crayons thoughtfully provided by the restaurant.

Given that on Saturday we had two friends from Dublin (inuitmonster and his good lady) who were in Cork for the weekend drop round, bringing yummy cakes from Heaven's Cake in the English Market, this weekend was a lovely change from recent events, and one filled with good conversation, good food and a happy lack of gastroenteritis.
