I am in New York! I feel I should use a (rare) exclamation mark to represent the exuberance of the city.

Sitting in M's lobby of her upper east side apartment building last night, waiting for her to get home from work (I was early, can you believe), it was like theatre. People running backwards and fro, hair straightened, furs, careful doormen, New York winter.

- Happy Noo Year, Martha
- Happy and healthy. Did you meet my new daughter in law?
- Welcome to the family. What a family

Italian food, long cup-of-tea-and-sitdown with M, and now all set for meeting friends, museums, shopping.

My house (in London) is tidier than it's ever been. Doubt it'll last long: I left P house-sitting and she's hardly the tidiest. (Sorry, P. There's food in the fridge. No tomatoes, mind).

Talk later, daahling.
