Yes, winter's been cold but the last week has been really nice so hopefully we'll have textbook Aussie winter days and if you dont get it in Sydney then you'll definitely get it up here in Bris-Vegas. Only eight more sleeps. Hey Roben – email me your mobile number and call me when you get here.

What's not to like about NYC, eh? I try to get there at least once a year but it's never enough. Don't forget your woolies for the trip downunder. Mum says it's one of the coldest winters they've had in a long time. I'm heading over in a couple of days. I'd report back but I'll be "out the back of beyond" and probably won't have internet. *grin* I'm sure the ladies organizing the event will keep you posted. I'm looking forward to your workshop in Sydney. I’m glad you had a great time. What’s not to like about NYC, eh? I try to get there at least once a year but it’s never enough.

I love reading your novels and blog and must admit that I almost played hooky from work yesterday so I could hang out at the Met in the hope of bumping into you. Not that I would have said anything. Wow, that makes me sound like a stalker, and I'm so NOT a stalker. It'd just be fun to be a fly on the wall sometimes. If you have an unplanned meal on your itinerary and want to break away from the tentacle menu, I wanted to throw the Brooklyn Diner out there as an option. It's my favorite restaurant in the city and I take all visitors there. They serve the best mac & cheese on the planet. Lots of butter, black forest ham, just yummy and rich. Their malts are also delicious and I've not found any to compare. I think their secret is Haagen Dazs straight up, whole milk, heavy cream, everything rich and delicious. Their menu isn't for the paranoid calorie counters (I'm not one of those myself), as they'd likely break the bank in one meal, but it's so worth it. Other great offerings include burgers, chicken salad, a french dip style sandwich, and more. Their cheesecake is fantastic too, but I never have room. They're on W. 57th between 7th & 8th Aves on the south side of the street. Oh, and there are little plaques at each table with names of famous people who have eaten there. Lee's Art Supply just west of there is great too if you like artsy sorts of things. I buy all sorts of paper goods in there that I absolutely don't need but have to have. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay and have more of those best days ever here. I’ve enjoyed hearing about your adventures in Manhattan this week.

Like Pam said it makes one want to finish the WIP and polish it well so that one day we may have Jenny's NYC experience. A laughing day...what a delight. I hope you have many more. You have certainly earned it. I have never been to NYC but it sounds like a source of great fun.

I'm convinced of it. I found a catalog that sold it and made my office buy it for me, then I would just sit and look at it and run my fingers over it. The paper was too nice to write work-stuff on it!! It needs nice things written on it so maybe I'll dig out one of those books and let my mind wander this weekend. enjoy your shopping.

I'm so happy that you all had a good time. I'm also pleased that my tax dollars may, in some small part, help to increase the likelihood of a D&G publication.

And that's a very good thing. Yesterday I was being very snarky with the contractors and shocking them all. Heh. I'd been sooo sweet and agreeable about almost everything up to that point. Maybe now I can chill again. At this rate, you guys will have produced enough vicarious fun to get me through the kitchen redo. And that’s a very good thing.

All airy and gorgeous and sculpturey and stained-glass-y. Sigh. I heart NYC. Oh! Clairefontaine paper! I’m a fan. So, incidentally, is Susan Wiggs. Whoda thunk it.

I can't wait. D&G sounds like way too much fun. I really hope it gets published. I have no doubt that if you finish writing it, they will print it.
