I should imagine you have to drive pretty far, or at least be in a penthouse suite to even realise the sun is setting in central NY. Never have been completely surrounded by skyscrapers but I'm guessing most new yorkers seldom look up, or out, just around a 100 squaremeter radius! Sounds like you had a good time from what you said tho but yeah, too much planning always makes it feel like a chore.
Was sorting a burst tap when you arrived with the mail, spent a half hour with Phil trying to find the riser .. .

I recognize that "RAWR" bubble - you stole it from one of your old Beano magazines didn't you?! They get such a raw deal those snowmen. With a life expectancy of around 2.5 days - you'd be rawring your head off too! :).. .

They do actually honk their car horns a lot - for reasons that remain quite unclear. We were assuming the "honk" was for the car directly in front of them, but the problem lay much further down the road - a taxi driver dropping off a passenger in the middle of a busy junction for instance.

Skiving? The one good thing about being a minor part of the big scenery around here is, I get to know when and where is the best place to miss meeting who or what! :) I'm like a stealth messenger on a very good day.
We leave for NYC on Sunday morning - arriving less than 3 hours after we leave (go figure). I'm going to try out my new Doric swear words on some of the locals, although I'll definitely wait until we get past homeland security! What does anyone else think about miniature bottles of Glen Gario.. .

I see you've chosen the american (should "american" have a capital letter - ameRican?) date format and it's a wee bit confusing! What will you be doing next - banning the overuse of the letter U?
