Café Milano

Have just come back from dinner with my two Masters' students and three Ancient History colleagues at Café Milano. We were all very impressed by the décor: not only Domus Aurea-style trickling fountains in the background, but a tessera-for-tessera copy of the Alexandery bit of the Alexander mosaic on the floor. You couldn't get much more appropriate for a bunch of Ancient Historians, really.

The food wasn't quite up to the same standard - the duck I had was a bit rubbery, and the meringues which formed part of my dessert had a somewhat silicone texture. But no matter - it's the people that count on these occasions, and they were fine indeed. I shall miss them. Yes, all of them.

*sigh*

*hug* They'll miss you lots too, I'm sure, as will we.

Hey Penny =) I met you at Fran's birthday party and my stethoscope kept falling off ^-^ I'm in a picture with you and Katti. Just thought I might add ya. Might be cool. Have a laugh.

Hi Clare! No-one told me your name at the party, but I remember you and your stethoscope. :) Nice to meet you properly, and I've friended you back.

Gah, you're leaving Belfast and I never saw the ponies;)

Ah, sorry about that! Sounds like you've been having a great time in Berlin, though.
