so we’re back. and now I’m off again. phew. sf was truly, amazingly, fantastically, great. you can see some evidence in the album of sf photos that I rushed off today. first I unpacked. then I had to pack again – off to oxford to casa de kitschbitch, to try and attempy to funkify up the room, and start on a pile of work and jobs that need to be done.
on the up side: environmental health/housing authorities came into the house and upon seeing that the place was falling apart have issued an order forcing the agency to make all the ctuff that’s crap/broken/lethal un-crap/fixed/safe. so although george the dodgy landlord guy can keep saying ‘tomorrow, tomorrow’ for a little while, if work on the bathroom (new shower, lino, fixed windows), kitchen (new units, maybe even new cooker), floor (new carpet, huzzah!), electricals (making lights in the hall & smoke alarm work), walls (paint) and so forth doesn’t begin in a few days, and isn’t completed within a month of starting, they come in and kick his butt – woo ha!
I is a very sleepy kitschbitch, with many cool things to say, but right now, I must to bed. night night chaps and chappesses, see you next from the dreaming spires of oxford…

sorry for lack of bloggage – though the boy has been writing a plenty keeping the world updated as to our goings on, I’m afraid I haven’t been quite so diligent. what can I say but that despite an atmosphere tinged with immense sadness, our stay in san francisco has been truly wonderful. the chance to stay in napa, in a house with a beautiful vineyard at the back, and breathtaking views of the valley at the front, was truly awesome (and the wine tasting wasn’t too bad either.) sf is really a fabulous place: having explored both the kitsch and the touristy, I can certainly say that it’s a city with whom I’m totally in love and sorry to be leaving.
