An otherwise pretty day...
Apr. 23rd, 2025 07:00 pmHmmm, Hugh Jackman is currently in residence at Radio City Music Hall, doing From New York City with Love, and it's until October 2025, and it's kind of affordable? I may get tickets. I love Hugh Jackman.

21. In Egypt, National Food Day is a day to celebrate the country's diverse cuisine. Do you like falafel?
Yes. And it's gluten-free - so added bonus. Though it does depend on how it is cooked.
22. What do you have hanging on the walls of your home?
Enlarged photos of Sunflowers and my family, most of the photos were taken by me. Two were taken by family members. I'd post photos of them, but alas, it would take me forever to find them.
23. What is your favourite kitchen gadget and why (excluding the large appliances such as the oven/fridge/freezer)?
The Dash Mini Waffle Maker that Wales got me for my birthday one year. I adore that thing. It's cute. It's green. And it makes mini-waffles.
24. On average how far do you walk every day?
2-3 miles. 2 miles, commute, and an additional mile at lunch time. Add in stairs and wandering about workplace.
25. Do you ever watch the birds in nature? Can you identify any by their song or by their appearance?
Yes, was doing it tonight. I can see them out my window frolicking among the light lime green leaves of a budding tree. Each of the trees behind me has different colored leaves, one is Kelly Green, one is lime green, one is red (Japanese Maple - I'm thinking), one darker green. Quite lovely. And little sparrows (I think they are sparrows ) playing among them. Sometimes I see robins and cardinals.
No, I can't identify by their song, and rarely by appearance. I can tell the common ones - robins, cardinals, jays, and sparrows. There's a lot of black birds - some are crows, and some are another type of black bird that I can't remember the name of.

Photos taken at lunch time:
I took a walk across the street and around the financial district, which is in reality a nifty little cafe/dining district on cobble stone streets and in 19th, 18th Century and possibly 17th Century buildings.
( Cobbled Stone Street with Eateries )
NYC is funky. At one moment, you feel as if you've stepped into a European City, and another, well a modern architectural jungle.
Also went to the pier, and walked further along it. Got a nice photo of the
Brooklyn Skyline (usually I see the Manhattan skyline, kind of nifty to be looking at the Esplanade from the opposite direction).
There's the Seatrack NYC Ferry zipping along in front.

And here's one of the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance...
