Five Weeks Later

I arrived in New York last month. Moved into my new flat from which I'm very lucky to have the most wonderful view of Manhattan, New York (the only downside being the cockroaches in the kitchen). I've started my new job at a law firm in Downtown Manhattan which specialises in insurance law. I have made new friends, upset my flatmate (I plan to say sorry with pizza and beer) and completed a walk for cancer last weekend in Central Park. I have been to the BB King Blues Club and Times Square, a comedy show (which wasn't very funny) and have generally just had a nice time. I have of course been shopping in New York which is an interesting experience. I wish I had more money... the Armani shop always looks so enticing. I did splurge a little and got myself a cute vintage handbag. I have had brunch and am trying to plan what to do about a halloween costume. I need to make plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I have caught a cold or something and not feeling well which is why I've finally found the time to update this blog. I'll try to make more time for this, I promise.

Great to hear you're getting on so well. You've been sorely missed in the 'sphere! :-)

Are you staying out there for Christmas?

Hows your new laptop btw? ;-)

Hey AW

Hope you are well, and it is great to hear from you. We've been missing you.

I'm glad you've been making the most of the experience and trying/doing everything, sounds fantastic (shame about the cockroaches that would totally freak me out).

NY will be amazing in winter (ever so jealous).

Michael - I've missed you all too! Yes, I'll be staying here for christmas. My new laptop is bigger than I thought it would be but I love it already. It took me less than 5 minutes to set it up :)

Trouty - I am well (I have a cold at the moment but I'm okay) and enjoying my time here. I've met some nice people and like my workplace. The cockroaches are disgusting... I saw one in the bathroom today and nearly screamed! Its going to be really cold here though. I'm really need to get some hats, gloves and scarves, a warm coat and some good boots.

Hey AW

I am extremely jealous! I would swap cockroaches and that amazing view in New York for my life right now!

I am so glad you are enjoying yourself. You deserve it!
