The Kabuki Spa was amazing and I think I will make it a monthly ritual, now that my schedule is more flexible. It was relaxing, meditative, and I haven't been so soft and thoroughly clean in ages. From there I wandered around San Francisco. Not my favorite city. Confusing, cramped, dirty, no trees, can never seem to get my directional bearings..... it's just a landscape I am not used to. But many parts are lovely. Like Cole Valley, where Adam and I are house sitting. Quiet, green, comfortable. Clearly the homes here cost a lot, but it's not a super chi-chi part of town. I wish I could live in a neighborhood like this. Just, not in SF.

Our friends' home is amazing and I've been hanging out in their breakfast nook reading and soaking up the daylight filtered through the big tree near the window. Have been stuffing myself silly. Dreamt of food last night. Dreamt also about a running into a choral group on my way to see Padraig in Belfast. Their singing made me sob and I woke up feeling as if I don't start singing somewhere soon I will die.
