Our kitchen

This is what our kitchen looks like. It's much bigger than London. Good for cooking in.

Our first SF gig

Last Wednesday we went to see Vampire Weekend and Cold War Kids live. Our first SF gig! Both bands were excellent. What was weird was that a DJ was also on the bill and thr DJ played first. The bands didn't come onstage until 11pm and midnight! Very late to be out drinking beer on a school night.

One great thing about gigs here is that many UK bands that we know and love are unknown and trying to break the scene here, and play in really small venues.

Things to do in SF when you've got no furniture

This is our life most evenings! No furniture and no TV means we sit on pillows and watch internet TV, courtesy of our neighbours Wi-Fi. We can only get a good reception at the window. Jenny is obsessed with watching re-runs of The Hills, I surf the information superhighway.

At least in January we can get our own internet connection.

Dinners and Sunsets

Two things San Francisco is good at are food and sunsets. Last Thursday we went for a fantastic seafood meal in the Hope and Anchor, courtesy of our wonderful London friends! Upon arrival, the restaurant manager greeted us, shook hands, and announced that "Darina would like to welcome you to San Francisco!" :) Here's Jenny outside:

On Saturday we went for a walk along the Marina. Here's the killer sunset.

Moved into our new house

Last Monday we moved into our new house. We're loving our new neighbourhood and it makes a big difference to be living in the city. Our house is pretty sparse, furniture not arriving until January. Here's Jenny in our big empty sitting room, freeloading on some neighbours WiFi.
