20 Nov lunch

Sunday 20 Nov we go out to Lygon St Carlton to grab a bite. We decide on Zingarella because SM heard over the radio that they cook a pretty decent wood fire pizza. Zingarella sounds like Cinderella but it's not. We order a seafood pasta and a Zingarella wood fire pizza of proscuitto, rucola, parmesan and balsamic glaze. Plus house white + coffee. There are not many diners at this time. Maybe just 10 people on a Sunday afternoon, that will hurt the proprietor. There must be about 40 Italian restaurants on this stretch of Lygon St selling pretty much the same stuff so business is a little slack.

We have our meals al fresco on their sidewalk and watch the people around us. It is 20 C and it is  kicking up a bit of a swirl. We relax and enjoy a nice lunch making small conversations.  

We walk to the nearby Gelatissimo and buy a pistachio + Belgian Chocolate gelato. I ask the server to please place the pistachio on top because I am not a big fan of choc gelato. Sitting in a park bench and thinking I am relaxing and life is ok no matter what ..... We take time out and it is good; just the two of us.

After all 20 Nov always features high on our calendar .....
