since oscar season has ended, taking with it the quality films that we had been viewing regularly every tuesday, we've initiated a new weekly date: saturday morning reading at a coffee shop. can you tell which one of us came up with this one? :) bryan's nice enough to go along with this indulgence of mine, as he's got some books to finish up for his internship anyway. this morning's locale was a hit - just check out the picture of our shared mixed berry and pumpkin chocolate muffins for the evidence of its greatness. my mom makes a mean pumpkin chocolate chip muffin, so this brought up fond memories of home.
the spot was cafe metro, a very cute coffee stop next to the town hall in victoria park, which we'd been meaning to visit for months. when a young dad and his 6ish-year-old boy got drinks and read the paper together, bryan and i, both suckers for cute parents and kids out in public together, gave collective sighs of adorableness.
i just love christchurch. i can't possibly leave in the next few months - there would be far too many great coffee shops left unvisited!

That muffin looks scrumptious! I'm ready to come back.
