Happy New Year from New York

Happy New Year, again for those of you in NZ. It is freezing (-2 degC) here so we chickened out and returned inside. Times Square is wall to wall people, frozen people who are trying to look happy! There are hundreds of police everywhere, choppers in the air and security on most buildings (we needed proof as guests to get into the hotel). Perhaps we should have gone to Central Park where they have fireworks at midnight followed by a five mile foot race by people dressed up!

As you can see Marie and Toby found some wacky glasses from a street vendor (who are very well organised retailers,  always supplying the most appropriate products for the prevailing conditions - umbrellas when it rained, sunglasses for the sun, wooly hats when it got cold, Apple support products outside the Apple Store and silly gear for New Year parties. Tomorrow morning I suspect they will offer water and Nurofen).

Let's now grab 2015 by the collar and see what we can make of it. Don't wait for it to grab your collar.
