Later in the week I got caught on the far side of the Bay Bridge, having driven around the snapped cable on the way over to the city. Foolishly, I tried to drive back across the same bridge and ended up sitting in traffic for about an hour before being turned around. Friends were making a gourmet dinner using their new wedding gifts, and invited me to join them. We cooked scrumptious butternut squash soup with real nuts in it, duck in pomegranate sauce and brussels sprouts with truffle oil. I must get some truffle oil for the kitchen!
Then today a friend chatted with me on facebook and invited me to a moonlit hike tomorrow night. I hope that pans out! I would love to splash in the ocean at sunset, warm up in the pub with him, and then hike over the cliffs by the moonlight. I hope he picks me up on his motorcycle. That would be so cool...
