LIVE from New York - Falling my length...


Day 6 and still no sign that I'll ever want to leave this city. So any of my friends who are reading this, could you let work know I'm never coming back...

Today has been Shopping Day. Which, for those who know me, means DVDs, games and perhaps the odd t-shirt or two. Which is precisely what I've bought. The inevitable embaressing moment of the trip occurred today when we visited Abercrombie & Fitch on 5th Avenue and I fell head-first down the last four steps (the very steps you can see in the picture above) and landed at the feet of a very perplexed, but stunning looking model. Poor guy didn't know what to do. I couldn't get up quick enough to hide my shame.

Anyhoo. Avenue Q - the Broadway musical we went to see was hilarious. Worth downloading the soundtrack, which I'll do on my return to Manchester. The songs, puppets and story were excellent, and I know it's on in London, so if you get a chance -go and see it. Unfortunately, we couldn't get tickets for Wicked, so we're going to see Beauty and the Beast instead. That's tomorrow night.

Tonight, after shopping of course, we're heading back to the Hotel to watch the season three premiere of Lost. Again, to those who don't know me, this may seem a little odd and not the best way to spend an evening in New York, but trust me - to me it's important.

Yesterday we did the NBC studio tours, and were this close to being in the audience for Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Shame we didn't get in - Claire from Lost was one of the guests. Other than that, still have Central Park to do, and we're also off to do some tourist bus and boat trips tomorrow, so still plenty more to take in!

Weather today has been gorgeous - wish I'd worn my shorts.

Anyway, I'm getting shifty looks from the Apple staff here, so I'll end it here and hopefully get one more report in before we fly back on Monday.
