How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel?

We had a lovely little picnic on Saturday at the Berkeley Rose Garden. The weather was beautiful. We also went cleaned the apartment to get ready for the garage sale this weekend.

On Sunday, we went out to the East Bay to look at a charmingly renovated French farmhouse. It was the cutest thing. Barn doors, wood floors, wood heating stove, wrought iron fixtures... the price was a bit steep, but within range. We're not quite ready to make a bid, but we thought about it. So I'm reading the termite report which is like 100 pages of legalese. And what do I see? There is a list of things that are included with the house like dishwasher, sprinklers, and what do I notice? There is one box that is not ticked- central heating. CENTRAL HEATING? What kind of house doesn't have heat other than an igloo? I just assumed that heating was one of the things that a house comes with. You can do without a dishwasher, sprinklers, but heat? They should probably also have a checkbox for 4 walls just in case that's not included. This is one of what I am sure of many things that we will need to check for in future houses. Good news is that we found an area that we want to explore some more called Rock Ridge.

While we like the area, but it comes at kind of a bad time for Rock Ridge. For those of you who don't live in the Bay Area, you may not have heard about the gas truck accident that caused a major freeway to collapse. Well, this freeway accident is about 5 minutes from Rock Ridge and how you would get from SF to/from Rock Ridge. Well, who knows, maybe this will help us to get a house in the area. I guess only time will tell.

Yesterday, we got to go to the Morrisey concert with Show. Thus, the name of the post. It was a great show and while I'm not as big of a fan as Edwin, it was definitely worth going. Just the people watching alone was worth it. There were a lot of pompadours, red-white-and black dresses, and indigo jeans rolled up at the ankles.
