Almost a week since our return from the Big Apple, and it seems like a lifetime ago. Amazing, exhausting, fascinating, colourful and hectic - it was everything we hoped it might be.
Gav & Imogen, our hosts with the, err, 'mosts', were absolutely stunners - they took us everywhere, showed us everything and made sure that no NYC experience was left undiscovered.
Took some great pics, ate some great food, discovered that not all American beer tastes like fizzy piss (take a bow, Brooklyn lager) and even managed to stumble my way across the finish line in the Scotland run round Central Park in an adequate (if 'personal worst') 57 mins. Given the amount of drinking, eating, smoking and walking that I'd subjected myself to in the previous week, that amounts to nothing short of a miracle.
Will whack some photos with assorted anecdotes on the internet once my additional RAM arrives from Crucial.com - my PC's 6 years old now and whilst still adequate for the majority of what life throws at it, it struggles when it comes to video editing or the new breed of photo software (where, by 'struggles', I mean 'crashes'). Am looking forward to souping up the old girl by doubling the memory and then sitting back as she 'does computing' at the speed of light... I can't fix cars, so will settle for having a rusty old Dell box with as much up-to-date kit inside it that I can manage.
