Week 8 / 9

I have no internet at home, which is both more and less annoying than I thought, depending on what I’m trying to get done.

Today I am in an expensive resort in Maui which has internet, though. Holiday priorities.

Week 8 included the NY trip which was the best and made me feel like maybe I hadn’t left London and all my friends behind.

Then it was over. :(

I drank more than I should have at the Edge after party and said embarrassing things at a Canadian I thought was cool who will now never speak to me again, most likely. I am incapable of making friends, turns out.

Edge was good though, but would have preferred it held in a room with windows.

Week 9 we moved into the new house we somehow managed to buy. It’s a lot empty. The main bedroom walls AND ceiling are a horrible shade of mustard. I have mentally repainted the whole place. I just need to do something about it now/buy a step ladder.

It was also Alex’s birthday, but he went to Boston for TAG.

We are finally only paying for one place, rather than one in London and 2 in SF. It’s nice to be settling down after all the stuff and paperwork and admin we’ve had to battle through just to be allowed to live together in the same country. It’s been ageing.

Week 7

Boston

In Boston, while Alex is at TC39. It’s cute and reminds me of England.

Successfully finalised on the house, the keys are ours and we can move in next week when we get back.

Bought a new giant bed and mattress for the new house.

Walked ~20 miles.

Week 5

Ocean

This week mostly featured Labor day. We drove a lot of the way down Highway 1 to Hearst Castle, with visits to Santa Cruz, Carmel Valley and Monterey over 3 days.

Saw much wildlife, including a heron, scrawny squirrels, sea lions and seals, a whale off the coast, free roaming zebras (left over from Hearst’s menagerie) and an actual real life gigantic (I was nearly sick) tarantula.

Pitch black driving along unmarked mountain roads to reach the lodge in Carmel Valley on Sunday was almost as terrifying as the spider.

Walked ~24 miles.

Week 4

Bay Bridge

Got re-acquainted with the Mission, in particular Valencia (our new street). Lovely brunch and amble with Mr Ward on Sunday.

Seen a lot of lovely furniture and learnt something about hardwood floors.

Did a little freelance work for the FT.

Walked ~27 miles.
