Wardrobe rethink

I am off to New York on Wednesday, and had thought I had sorted out what I was taking to wear. So there I was last night, talking to Patrick online, and just flicking through the weather forecast for New York - just out of idle curiosity - and I read that there is a blizzard and they have had 24-inches of snow! OMG!! Panic. I had to throw a whole pile of jumpers into the wash and make sure I had enough clean long sleeved t shirts to layer underneath them, AND I had to find my waterproof/windproof jacket with a fleece lining [which also needed to go through the washing machine]. My house looks like a Chinese laundry at present, and I am still looking for my boot socks - I hope Silk hasn't chewed them up, otherwise I am well and truly stuffed, as there is NO way I can get any more before I leave at 5am on Weds morning. I just hope all the plane delays have been sorted out, and that there is still a little bit of snow left over for when I get there - as it would be great to go for a walk and take some photos in the snow in Central Park - having gone to all this trouble of re-jigging my wardrobe at the last minute!

So, watch out NY, I am on my way, complete with credit card and a list of 'must buys' that is getting longer every day. Should be a fun 5 days - I just hope I can find somewhere that serves European sized portions of food - as tales of huge plates of food and sandwiches the size of loaves are a trifle daunting. At least where I am staying has a gym and a swimming pool, so I hope to get some exercise besides all the walking I intend to do.
