Iqoqe izingcezu ezicatshangelwe ngokucatshangelwa nezitshalo eziningi, izincwadi eziningi, nomdlali wamarekhodi. Buka izilwane zasendle ezinhle ngamafasitela. QAPHELA: sihlala endaweni ezungezwe izilwane zasendle, amahhashi, izinja nezinhlobonhlobo zezitshalo ezinkulu (indawo yethu ibizwa ngokuthi i-Fernwood ngoba iluhlaza kakhulu futhi iluhlaza kakhulu ukusuka esendlini yasolwandle) ngakho-ke uma unokungezwani komzimba noma isifuba, le ndawo ingase ingabi ngcono kuwe. Ngezinye izikhathi sivumela izinja, kuphela uma zigunyazwe kusengaphambili. Indawo yesitezi esiphezulu ikhanya futhi inomoya futhi konke mayelana nokubuka! Ikhishi ligcwele ingxube yezandla yesibili namathuluzi amasha asekhishini. Ngiyakuthanda ukuqoqa izitsha ezinhle zokhuni nama-ceramics, alungele ukubonisa izitsha zakho ezenziwe ekhaya.

Indlu yokugezela incane futhi incane, kodwa inakho konke okudingayo. Ngiphinde ngafaka nobhasikidi onamathawula asebhishi. Iya phansi ekamelweni elivulekile elinophahla lwezinkuni nekhabethe elikhulu. Umbhede ungumuntu omusha we-Tuft & Needle King. Kunedeski uma uzithola kudingeka wenze umsebenzi othile.

Ngihlale ngijabula ukwabelana nganoma yimaphi amakhambi noma imifino engadini. Kunezitezi eziphathekayo nezici eziningi zezinkuni zemvelo kuyo yonke indawo. Kukhona i-heater yodonga egumbini ngalinye lokugcina izinto zithokomele. Ikhaya lethu lakhiwa ngeminyaka engu-60 labe selivuselelwa kakhulu ngo-70/80 lapho i-hippie yomhlangano obizwa ngokuthi "Ipulazi Lokuthula" lahlala lapha. Inezici eziningi, kodwa yingakho sithanda u-Topanga:) Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwe-patio yakho yigceke lethu elinemibhede emibili engadini. Zizwe ukhululekile ukuzihlola bese ukhetha amakhambi. Sivame ukubona ama-raccoons, ama-bobcats, ama-squirrels ngisho nenyoka ngezikhathi ezithile egcekeni lethu, ngakho-ke qaphela ukuthi uhamba kuphi.

Noma uma uthanda, singakwazi ngokuphelele ukugcina ibanga lethu;) Hamba uye emzileni oyimfihlo ukuze uhlangane nomakhelwane nezinja ezinobungane. Umoya omnene wolwandle usho ukuthi abantu bendawo babiza le ndawo ngokuthi "i-Fernwood yesimo sezulu esikahle." Ukusuka lapha ngasentshonalanga kwe-Topanga, kungaphansi kwemizuzu engu-15 ukuya ebhishi. Sisengxenyeni ephakeme ye-canyon, okusho ukubukwa okungcono kakhulu, kodwa nemigwaqo emincane. Yithathe kancane futhi ujabulele imisindo yemvelo! Le ndawo eyaziwa ngokuthi i-Fernwood ngenxa yendawo ekhangayo, okungenzeka ukuthi ayikulungele ukungezwani komzimba.

Ungahamba uye edolobheni lethu elincane lase-Topanga ukusuka endlini yethu kodwa kumakhilomitha angaba ngu-2 wehla bese kufanele uhambe uye emuva!! Sikwenzile futhi akukubi. Kukhona nemizila emihle yokuhamba ngezinyawo kude nathi. Edolobheni lethu uzothola isitolo esihle sebhayisikili lapho ungaqasha khona ibhayisikili lasezintabeni futhi bazokunika amathani emininingwane yokuthi ungagibela kuphi. U-Uber & Lyft uvela lapha uma ucelwa, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi kuthatha ukubekezela. Simayelana nemizuzu engu-10-15 ushayela usuka ebhishi lethu lendawo elinamathani okupaka mahhala emgwaqweni e-Topanga Blvd (bheka izimpawu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi usendaweni yokupaka yamahhala). Okokuqala ngqa ushayela endlini yethu, ungase ukhanyiswe kancane ngamajika anomoya omgwaqo! Kungase kuzwakale sengathi kuze kube phakade, kodwa empeleni kungamakhilomitha angu-1 kuphela ngaphandle kwe-boulevard eyinhloko eya endlini yethu. Shayela kancane futhi uthathe izindawo... ukwakheka kwamadwala amahle, amasele acula ngasemfuleni kanye nezindlu ezingavamile! Sinezinja ezimbili ezincane zokutakula ezijabulisa kakhulu uma abantu abasha bevakashela, ngakho-ke uma ungazithandi izinja, lokhu kungase kungabi yindlela engcono kakhulu;) Sizithatha yonke indawo nathi, ngakho ngeke kube khona izinja ze-yappy ezikona ukuphumula kwakho okunokuthula. Futhi, sihlala emnyango olandelayo wokuya emahhashini, ngakho-ke kungase kube nomsindo othakazelisayo emini nasebusuku. Ukupaka kulinganiselwe kakhulu ku- cul-de-sac yethu encane, ngakho-ke sicela uqinisekise ukuthi upaka endaweni eqokiwe endleleni yethu yokungena imoto. Ngizokuthumela iziqondiso ngaphambi kokuba ufike. Uma ubhema, sicela usebenzise umlotha oqokiwe kuvulande. Sisendaweni yomlilo, ngakho-ke ungabhema eduze nebhulashi. Uma ubhema ngaphakathi, kuzodingeka ngithathe imali engu- $ 200 kudiphozithi yakho. Ukubhema e-canyon kuhle kakhulu njengoba wonke umuntu ukhathazekile ngemililo, ngakho ngincoma ukuthi ulethe ipeni le-vape ukuze ugweme ama-glares;) Ukwamukelwa ngomakhalekhukhwini akukuhle, ngakho-ke sicela ulungele ukungabi nayo isevisi uze uxhumane ne-wifi yethu. Lungela ukungapheleli kwamandla ne-inthanethi, ukuvalwa kwemigwaqo, ukuphuma, izicabucabu nokuningi! Awukho edolobheni futhi izinto zingakhuphuka lapha ;) Njengama-Airbnb amaningi, asizivumeli izivakashi ezingabhalisiwe endlini ngaphandle kwemvume yethu, ngakho-ke sicela usibuze ukuthi ungathanda yini ukuba nezivakashi futhi ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi singakwazi ukuhlalisa abantu! Kunomkhawulo womuntu ongu-3 kule studio yezivakashi zasebusuku. Sigcina ikhishi ligcwele zonke izinto eziyisisekelo futhi sizama ukuthola konke okuphilayo noma i-GMO mahhala: amafutha omnqumo, uviniga we-balsamic, i-ketchup, igceke, isosi ye-soy, isosi eshisayo, ukucubungula upelepele obomvu, usawoti wolwandle, isinamoni, njll.
