Spidey Returns... Boxed Office Hits!
Grabbing our hand luggage we stream from the apartment that has been our home for the last 2 months for the last time! We hail a cab to take us to our new home in Cole valley. As we sit in the back of the taxi, I can almost hear the hopeful refrain "Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home..." in the background. Not unlike being in a scene from a golden Hollywood oldie. However there are no tears this time. Just joyous anticipation.
We are still in the taxi when we get the call that our container has arrived and the crew are waiting to unload for us.
We can hardly believe it's really happening but get straight into the spirit of it anyway. The Crew are very friendly and efficient and unloading is done at a very brisk pace.
Our apartment is soon completely overrun by uniformed boxes.
Boxes in the hallway, boxes in the closets, boxes in the bedroom, boxes, boxes everywhere.The crew have completed their mission now and as tomorrow is the 4th July, they're keen to get going to begin the celebrations.
About 5pm, my mobile rings. It's the Auto Shipper alerting me that our car is outside the apartment ready to be unloaded. We literally skip downstairs to see our little Spider perched on the back of the transporter.
After greeting the driver we set about bringing our Spider back down to earth.
Levers were turned and buttons were pushed while all the time our car was slowly lowered to the road and cleared from the transporter. I'm sure I heard it sigh with relief as it realized that it was now free to burn up the open road again after being stuck in a container for 2 months!
After nipping dow to the petrol station and giving Spidey a good long drink of gasoline spirits, we drive up to Twin Peaks for the 1st time.
What greets us is both unexpected and absolutely amazing! The views over San Francisco from here are epic. It's also very windy with a very fast moving a changeable micro-climate.
We finished up the evening having noodles at The Citrus Club in Haight Street.
