My brain is starting to melt from failing to acclimatise to the New York timezone. You can see evidence of this in the above photo.

Last night I slept from about 10pm until I awoke at 2am and could not get back to sleep until around 7am. I managed to sleep again until about 10am.

It’s now 1am and I’m yet to feel sleepy.

Today was great fun. Exploring the West Village and eating lunch in Little Italy before checking in to the Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.

My room has a good toilet….

Another day of walking many blocks as well as catching cabs and the subway around this vibrant city where there is always something happening.

Yesterday evening I saw Clint Eastwood’s 33rd feature film ( as director) – Jersey Boys. I’m embargoed from reviewing it yet.

I’ll be speaking with the main cast lunchtime Friday New York time and I’ll get back to you after that.

Out of the handful of things I really miss about Australia, Thai Massage would have to be up there….

And Schweppes. For all the “soda” the Yanks guzzle all day long, without Schweppervesence, it’s all just bubbles of nothing.

I think that’s all for now. I’m eating dark chocolate covered cranberries. I really should stop…..
