And yup, I’ve just been catching up on your posts too. I’m with Robyn – a lazy RSSer.

santos: um. is it some sort of obscure record reference? heh heh. i had to go off and do a load of dishes to think about it. the counter boy wasn’t bad-surly even; nothing in the vicinity of soup nazi. although the punters on eatability sure have a lot to say about it.

that gelato confection is worth a little counter surliness.

I do hope the pasta was just as fabulous. I too had a birthday lunch on norton street, up the hill at cafe barzu. i ended with dessert elsewhere; but bar italia is always a splendid place

your mum is hilarious. at first i thought the incidents belonged to two different people!

yes, my mother has a random and peculiar set of skills, each of which surfaces at random and peculiar times (and not always the best time). she also has a joke involving a smudged drawing of a tree, and a man named vinnie.

That chocolate gelato erm drink erm scoop looks fabulous. I’m impressed your mum can sms. Mine has problems with double click…
