New York
Made it to New York the city is crazy with the big UN meeting going on. The front desk said our hotel is full of secret service people, will have to watch my mouth.
Then, during dinner at my favourite place, Virgils, Sarah Palin arrived at the hotel opposite surrounded by cops.
The city is as crazy as ever.
Laters!
Off to the Big Apple tomorrow for a few days R’n'R, will take in the major sights and show Teri my old haunts (fortunately some, like The Village Idiot, no longer exist). So likely no posts or comments approvals during that time, though I do have the WP app on the iPhone. Might twitter a little if the mood strikes, I don’t want you to miss me too much.
Laters, peeps.
ApartmentTour
Made a little video of the apartment I stay in during the week whilst I slave away at work. I made a bunch of mistakes verbally during the filming – can you spot them all???
A Bad Combination
Take one bottle of wine
add some Robbie Williams
add some Kylie singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”
and you get sadness.
Three years this Saturday: Mum, I miss you.
British Phrase of the Week
I used this today and no one had a clue what I was talking about:
“I think the penny has finally dropped: he has started looking for another job”
It means someone has finally understood a situation, long after it was very obvious to everybody else. You can google the etymology of the phrase for yourselves (it has to do with penny slot machines).
