It was with delight that earlier this week I accepted an invitation from Meleena to meet her for lunch after she got out from school today. This week is State testing week and the school schedule (pronounced: shed-yule) is such that the kids have been getting out at what would normally be considered lunchtime so I went to pick her up from school and then on to Perko's for lunch.
Over our Create-Your-Own-Lunch specials of salad, ham & cheese sandwich (for me), pasta (for Meleena) and a dessert of Apple Crisp (cold crumble) the conversation ranged from how easy Meleena thought the Math test was, the challenges of preparing for the Cinco de Mayo parade when no-one turns up for after school practice and how they haven't even practiced marching since Pismo, whether Matthew has been mean or nice this week, who will miss the other one the most when Matthew goes off to College (my guess: Matthew, although he won't admit it) and, inevitably, David Tennant.
Unfortunately, I had to head off by 2pm to take care of my afternoon work commitments, otherwise I would have been more than happy to stay longer and test Meleena on her Dr Who general knowledge with the new Quiz Book she ordered and which arrived yesterday. Oh well, there's always next time. ;)
Anyway - thank you for a lovely lunch, Meleena. I look forward to having the opportunity to do it again soon.
