Photos up on the wall of fame in work. I look a bit ginger, Richard looks a bit enthusiastic. (more…)

Hats off to Chris and Jenna - our new Apple comrades - for having us round for a rather splendid cheeseboard followed by awesome local baked crab. Turns out we're not the only ones round here obsessed with eating...

Well, the Zombies are here, it's official. I just hope they're the slow, meandering kind and not the terrifying quick buggers from 28 Days Later...

Brunch was had at the Bell Tower, after a glowing review from Richard and Lucy. We had a breakfast burrito with home fries and guac (Rosie) and a BBQ Pulled Pork bap with french fries (me). The standard of eating over here is nuts; a fairly inexpensive meal - $25 for both of us inc. two soft drinks - was delicious and the service was all smiley and nice. We padded up and down the hills of SF all afternoon to walk it off, bellies full of awesomeness. Must. Start. Gym. Soon.

A great little bagel place we found in our new neighbourhood, Noe Valley. We've been furiously apartment hunting since we got here and found a great new pad on Elizabeth and Castro. The bagels were Lox (Rosie) and Pastrami (me) with all the trimmings. I've decided not to rate fast-food, so no marks-out-of-ten, but it was darned tasty.

Hapus Birthdus to my favourite brother on this, the day of his birthdus. Looking forward to having you over to stay, we'll spend a week sampling Root beer and bagels. Big man hugs, olé!

A quick Sunday night jaunt back down to Polk St for some food landed us in Pancho's Salsa Bar & Grill. It's a cheep'n'cheerful kinda place, and truth be told, we weren't expecting a lot - but the fish tacos were very good, the pulled pork tacos were super good, and we had all that and a beer each for just over $20. The refried beans may be causing some alarming belly happenings, but all in all, a decent supper.

A picture I forgot to post from our day out to Fisherman's Wharf last week. It was raining and we were pooped - so a quick stop for some fried shrimp and a tasty bottle of the local brew; Anchor Steam. (more…)

The best thing about our apartment-hunting day out (aside from a great corned-beef and kraut rye sandwich in Noe Valley that I forgot to photograph) was this number-plate seen on Guerrero in the Mission district... Finding a place to live here can be tricky.

First week at my new job was a good one - the canteen alone is reason enough to work here! A real good bunch in our studio, creative times ahead...
