Why Are You So F••kin' Happy Dude?

... Is what a guy asked me on the street as I walked back to the office from lunch today. I had been down to the ferry building and also wandered around on the piers enjoying the sunshine.

It's been another busy week but again a productive one. This evening I went to visit my friend Sonia for a while and spent a few hours laughing and chatting.

Oh yes... "Because I'm a happy guy" was my response to the question!

Winter In The Sunshine

It was practically summer in San Francisco this weekend gone. The weather was absolutely glorious. I managed to get to the gym on both days of the weekend and did a fair bit of street photography on Sunday afternoon. Oh yes, and retracing my thoughts I've just realized I bought 3 pairs of shoes this weekend. Oh well - Happy Feet for me then!

On Sunday afternoon I went along to my local parlour and luxuriated in a Pedicure, Manicure and hand and feet massages. I could have slept right there but, there was still weekend time to enjoy and the sun was shining.

Today I was back at work and had a very busy but very productive day. At lunchtime I managed to scout a location that I'll go back and photograph sometime soon. It's the Plaza area just opposite the Ferry Building. The picture about is from my lunchtime scouting session.

It was another rainy day in San Francisco. The journey to work was v-e-r-y slow and the trains (when they turned up) very full. Still, the experience is nowhere near as jam-packed as it was commutung in the London underground so I still don't complain because I've see how bad it could be!
I took this with my iPhone while I was waiting. I was also was curious to know if my new Translink Pass would work. Translink means that I can now by my monthly public transport travel online and I've actually chosen the option to purchase automatically. Theoretically, I don't need to even think about having to pay fares anymore as long as I have my Translink card with me.

She Said She Was A Rock Star

I got a lot of photography completed last week. I had a shoot for a soap story which is appearing on the internet as stills with speech bubbles. I also had the model I have been using a lot lately come and do some expression shots for me at our apartment.

It's been very rainy in San Francisco, which was well needed, so going out needs to be planned carefully. I don't want to invest in any heavy rain-wear since most of the year it's totally unnecessary.

Just finished a weekend of dog-sitting for one of Antonella's friends. Time for a glass of wine and chilling out I think.
