Oh kay

To give them their dues - they did have a few good pieces of eye candy.

(Strictly no photography of the artworks though).

Oh Dia

We spent an hours train ride to get to the Dia Gallery in Beacon in Westchester County only to find they'd put the canvases up before the artists had actually used them. Seriously this is what gives art a bad name as the above is actually the show. By the time we'd finished I passed out on one of the installations and could only be revived by a margarita, a bowl of corn chips and a burrito bowl.

A close shave

The Santa beard finally gets the chop. 

Cheesus

Dinner for 12. Eaten by 2. 

Shaken and stirred

The definition of happiness.... Sitting at Shake Shack, right by the Flat Iron, drinking a chocolate milk shake watching a squirrel consider what to do with his acorn. Well it would have been if I hadn't been stupid enough to eye up those finagling calorie counters that are now on every single menu item that you put in your gob. At first I thought the 740 was the prices of the shake and then seeing the vanilla was 640 - I realised that no - it was the naffing, bollocking calories. Even I, who can easily turn a blind eye to the whopping calories in my daily hot chocolate - as I count them not as calories but as bona fide medicine, could not justify this amount for a mere snack. So I moved - miserable as sin out of the queue onto 5th Avenue where I plunged into Eaterly instead and the purchase of a tiramisu which worked out very well for me as the Italians haven't yet got the hang of calorie counting. 

005 and a half

Nigel going undercover at the Whitney in case Jessica saw him reaching for that last knot cushion. 

Jerry built

Spotted through the shelves at the Whitney Museum Shop - Jessica Seinfeld.
She was with 2 of her mates both in floor length mink coats and they were literally buying up the shop between them. So now we know - Jerry is getting a packet of Simpsons coasters, a bird whistle and a cushion in the shape of a knot to ease the tension after all that laughing.
