I've walked my little socks off today. First, a hike up hill to a bus stop to catch the No.2 (heh) to Richmond, followed by a pleasant hour browsing the used book shelves of Green Apple Books (thanks Bill!). I then chanced upon a cafe run by a couple of Gen Y slackers, complete with bad hair and slow service, but that offered real tea -- none of this chai soy latte rubbish but PG Tips! My first cup of tea for a week, and a blessed relief it was, too. Then a hike over to the Golden Gate Park and an extremely pleasant wander around the Japanese tea garden.
A brisk walk back to the bus stop, a long bus ride back into the center, and a brief yet soul-destroying jaunt into H&M -- apparently, mirrors in US changing rooms are also designed to render one flabby and foul-tempered. After a gloriously sunny, if windy, day, it's now clouded over and is raining. Just like home . . .
