A new friend, Nikita. Our neighbour Suzanne is entrusting Rosie with the occasional dog-walk, all good so far...

A quick lunch yesterday in the Sunflower on 16th St/Valencia. Great egg rolls, bbq pork and a hot, sweet tofu broth, all washed down with an extremely unusual Thai Tea (tasted like tamarind milkshake). Extra points for the extremely flamboyant waiter who took a shine to my Ponty RFC shirt - he pointed at the 'Just Rentals' sponsor logo, said 'ooh, just rental... hahahaha' and strutted off back to the kitchen, leaving us slightly perplexed, but highly amused.

Sunflower Vietnamese – 7.2/10 (more…)

A lovely walk up some very steep hills took us to the twin peaks of Twin Peaks. The view was staggering; the skyscrapers of downtown SF gave way to the bay area beyond - Oakland, Marin County, the Golden Gate bridge... I decided that as we would be visible to the entire city, I better give the Ponty shirt an airing. We could hear the whole city chanting 'Olé, Olé, Olé...' from the summit. Top marks to the boys for a great result against Swansea yesterday, bring on the final! (more…)

A night in Noe Valley with Richard and Lucy last night. We ordered a Chicago style pizza from Patxi's Pizza and it didn't disappoint. Three thousand cubic feet of crust, sauce, sausage and cheese was consumed.

Went for a lovely hike through Muir Woods today with Simon and Lynn. Massive trees, glorious sunshine and all washed down with sandwiches and Hoegaarden in a crazy German beer house plonked right in the middle of the forest. Rosie managed to avoid getting eaten by bears/cougars/sharks and we all came back sun kissed and sleepy. Tidy (apologies for bad photos, concentrated my photo-taking powers on my 35mm, so we'll have to wait for those ones). (more…)

Our mammoth house-hunt came up trumps as we've scored a great apartment in an old cedar-clad house. Rosie is making the most of the new space (we're taking shifts on the recliner chair). (more…)

Time to say goodbye to our apartment in Nob Hill. Good times were had. We're heading down to Noe Valley where we've got a year's lease on a cracking little pad. (more…)
