Awoke this morning to our first day of snow - a light fall over night - joined the morning ritual of walking the dogs in Prospect Park - seems half of Brooklyn does the same - amazing sight! - reminded me of a Brueghel winter painting.
A breakfast at home - blueberry and banana pancakes - yum! - then into Manhattan for a unique New York experience - pastrami on rye at Katz's Deli on the lower East Side.
Again - cutting it fine - just make it to the Shubert for the afternoon matinee of Blithe Spirit - new production in previews starring the one and only Angela Lansbury as Madame Arcati, as well as Rupert Everett as Charles and Christine Ebersole as Elvira - quite a cast - but boy does it need some work - it was only the second preview but Happiness was in much better shape after one preview - I'm sure Angela was ad-libbing for most of the show! - she was also very hard to hear at times - they all need to learn their lines before it opens or the critics will have a ball!
Back to Brooklyn for a family dinner - wonderful food, wine and conversation - looks like we're in for a treat tomorrow - promise of six inches of snow - seems strange with all the shocking news of bushfires back home.
