Today was a shopping day, so headed to 5th ave. Only went to 2 stores, Abbercromie and Fitch and Bloomindales - That's enough (in the style of Brian Glover)(women wont get that) . Bought a hoodie for little sis, (now she can mug people whilst looking stylish). Got away with just buying a tee shirt for myself. Followed the touristy thing M. Monroes 7 yesr itch steam grate, Harry met sally cafe, Serendipidy shop, which lead me to Bloomingdales.
Had i mentioned it had been raining constantly for 24 hrs by then. (I also realised that the waterproof coat i had wasn't). So using the phylosophy that it is a lot more expensive in the Uk, i came away with a North face jacket and fleece (thinking useful for NZ), 3 pairs of shorts (thinking useful for OZ) and a free facial because i had spent that much!! ( aparently i'm a typical english man who doesn't moisturise) theres a relief.
The good news is i found a bar that's showing the England game. i've also added 2 extra days in NYC. but to make sure its no longerive booked the chinatown train ($15 bargain) and leave friday 9am (2PM UK). haven't found accomodation yet but hey whatever.
And Hollyoakes is on TV here every night on BBC America. I feel at home.
Day 3, Shopping eh? sounds like this New York trip might have been a big mistake, can't imagine what they could possibly have that Primark doesn't.
Marilyn Monroe's steam grate, hmmm, bet that put the wind up you (lame, sorry) & the cafe from When Harry met Sally, did you have what she was having (clean up in aisle 3!)
I've heard mention of facials, but only in the sort of films that Chris has all over his house...she must have seen you coming!
And you managed to get through another rain mack....visit the Park again, did we?
And after all that, you still go back to your hotel to watch Hollyoakes!! (best viewed with sound down i think)
