After what has been an altogether too-long-and-rainy winter, we had another beautiful day in San Francisco yesterday. And what better way to celebrate the sunshine and the afternoon than cocktails at the beach? I toodled through the park on my little city bike with flowers in the basket (okay, no flowers in the basket since last week, but it makes for a nice image) to meet Valentino at the not-so-Dutch windmill on JFK and the Great Highway. I was in a great mood because I'd just had a productive meeting to procure more writing work (and it had been a lucrative lunch shift at The Restaurant, although I made a couple of mistakes and the eagle-eyed GM noticed, which is Not A Good Thing), and Valentino was in a great mood because he'd just finished working at the preschool. He grew up in the Sunset, his mom now runs the preschool that he attended, and he and his brother both work there. Now that's community.

When the groom told me everyone would be meeting at the Park Chalet on Sunday for the post wedding brunch, I thought he was crazy. Not only had I eaten two of my worst ever San Francisco meals, a few years ago in its upstairs, sister restaurant, The Beach Chalet, but everyone around here knows that Ocean Beach is just about the coldest place earth. I have a friend who didn't even realise San Francisco had its own wide sandy beach, stretching for miles, until she had been living here six months. It's hardly surprising - you can't usually see it for all the fog!
