At the moment I have been busy moving my stuff over to Bill’s – yep now, I’ll be officially in Manhattan! 🙂 🙂 Last Saturday it was about 6.30pm and we had three of my cases full of stuff (being in a furnished place meant I don’t really have much more than what I came…
Various catch ups
While mum and dad visiting was HUGE (and there are some great blog posts coming up about that…!) another thing that has been great is there has been some other visits from people back in Oz to New York! Leigh, one of my pals from my days of Parliament and fellow USA devotee, visited New…
Let’s start at the very beginning
I’ve decided to have somewhat of a blogathon and catch up on the past say… 6 months. If you follow my Twitter, you may not feel as left in the dark than if you just rely on my blog. So I shall start at Christmas (!!!! – DO NOT LAUGH!! ) and then chuck in…
