Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cacao nibs, toasted sliced almonds, toasted shaved coconut, diced half banana; hot water. Walked and rode Muni to 9th and Judah with Patrick. We walked to and visited the Lunar New Year Festival at the County Fair Building followed by a walk through the Botanical Gardens to see the magnolias just beginning to bloom. The festival attracted a large crowd, and while we were there we saw three small girls dressed in traditional gowns dancing on stage. We visited the adjacent library where we encountered Drew and Tai and chatted briefly with them. Lunch at Pacific Catch (415-504-6905, 1200 9th Ave): iced tea and two shrimp tacos with salad for Patrick, arnold palmer and salmon chowder and crispy rice with ahi poke for me. About $48 before a 20% tip. Service by Kat P was a bit slow at times but otherwise good. We ate at table 77 which we liked because we could watch the many dogs and their owners walking or driving by. We also saw many very young girls wearing princess dresses or tiaras. Walked and rode Muni home. After a while Patrick took a nap. I left to take a piece of misdelivered mail to a neighbor and encountered several people in front of our house standing around an elderly man who had fallen. I learned that the fallen man was a neighbor. I provided a chair for him to sit in until a medical team arrived and took him to a hospital for further care. Weeded Instagram followings and followers. Dinner at home with Patrick: Patrick prepared baked tilapia from frozen with coconut-cilantro sauce and sautéed asparagus. Water to drink. We watched various YouTube videos then Interview with the Vampire (2022) s1:e5 on SFPL DVD then various YouTube videos. I washed dishes. Patrick went to bed. I deep-cleaned the dish rack. Hot water with bottled lime juice and honey.
