Last thought on NYC

Am now in London!!! It is wet! Before I launch into my week of cold wet fun here in London I will share one last NYC experience - Doughnut Plant in the Lower East Side. Drrooool.

And don't say New Yorkers are mean and unfriendly because my preggers friend Karen was standing there watching them pack her box of doughnuts which she had already paid for when she offhandedly lamented that she meant to get a pistachio one and had forgotten. The girl packing said do you want a pistachio? I can get one for you! And Karen said oh thank you, is it the same price as any of the others I chose so you can just replace it? And the girl said no I will just give you the pistachio one for free as a pregnancy present. Nice! Milk that pregnancy! I told her we must go into every shop after that and try that trick.
