At Citibank on 23rd and 6th you can check your height via the height chart near the door and security camera. Addendum – Evan emailed me to let me know that in Australia they have these in banks at at 7-11 but they are colour coded height charts…! I had never seen them before!

…can you spend a Sunday out, get home at 3pm, get straight into your jammies, then have a nap, then wake up and then at 5.30pm decide that it is time to get your eyebrows and nails done, get dressed again, go to the salon (without a booking… no such thing here!), get eyebrows and…

I know I have been totally ignoring the blog – since finding out we have the apartment in Brooklyn we have been busy getting things together to make it a home. From furniture, to a new bed, housewares, kitchen table set, removals and starting to pack it has been a whirlwind. Mainly because with being…

This week has been draining – thus the lack of blog posts. We’ve been frantically searching for an apartment. Not because we have to be out next week but because I could not stand waiting to find out where we would be calling home any longer! Well.. this afternoon that all changed when we found…

We’re going to get a nice little snow storm tonight which will be starting in a couple of hours. Washington DC is getting pummelled so I quite happy with our predicted few inches! Bill is leaving tomorrow for a Superbowl weekend up in Albany so the minute I got in the door tonight I started…

So as well as going to Australia in December/January we are going for nearly three weeks in April. During this time we will…

On Friday night we held the annual Australia Day Gala at Cipriani’ Wall Street. This night is a lot different to the Benefit Dinner as it is fun, social and there is lots of dancing! Last year’s dinner was held at the Waldorf-Astoria and it honored Baz Lurhmann – this year as there was no…

The time has come to leave our little Chelsea studio and find a place better suited for two people and the possessions that two people ‘need’ to have. We’ve subscribed to rentdirect.com as we (or rather I) don’t have the time or patience to sort through the dodgy and non-dodgy Craigslist postings. Bill got this…
