working lunch

yes, in the very broadest sense of the word, it was a working lunch - in that it was lunch with a colleague, and we had something that we needed to talk through.  But when this is the view (over the Huntington Gardens) from one's lunch table, and there's a plentiful supply of books that one needs inside the library, and some quite extraordinary gardens outside, the concept of a working lunch is a very loose and flexible one indeed.
