While sitting in the sun it was even warm enough to take my coat off. How do I know this, the unsuspecting reader might ask? Well that’s easy… lunch!

My co-worker S and I needed to prepare for a meeting tomorrow. What did we want and what questions do we have for our potential new supplier? While we knew we had to do that, the sun kept showing itself through the window of our office. The buildings across the street were brightly lit and the city looked happy again. We’d already opened the window to let the spring air in, but that wasn’t enough. We couldn’t possibly be expected to get any work done while the weather was that nice. Or could we?

Despite the fact that I had Sunday’s leftovers with me for lunch, I knew in an instant that we needed to go out for lunch. The great advantage of working in the city again is that going out for lunch is an option again. I just walk out of my office and within a block there are at least 6 different sandwich shops or even fancier lunch spots.

Straight across from the general employee entrance of my office there is a bagel shop. Today was the first day (as we saw from our window) they had started service on the terrace again. The sun shone directly onto their terrace and we couldn’t resist anymore. The meeting was moved outside!

So for lunch today I had an everything bagel with pesto, prociutto di parma, mozzarella di buffala, sundried tomatoes and a couple of leaves of rocket! A cappuccino on the side and the sun on my face made this the perfect lunch. And we actually got some work done too!
