On my way back down Broadway I was passing the Belly Deli and noticed the seized sign posted on the door. Proof that Benjamin Franklin was right when he said "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." The Belly Deli it would appear has somewhere along the way not paid taxes and is now closed. It wasn't really a place I used or visited regularly but have on the odd occasion slipped in there for milk or tea bags. Guess I wasn't contributing enough to their income to assist them in avoiding the tax man!
The remainder of my day was spent filling in time to get to the hairdresser and then after the hairdresser chatting with Anne another AUSSIE who called in on her way home to Queens. She had arrived back yesterday so too is struggling with jet lag. After a short while she headed home and Sue decided to cook dinner.
The "barefoot chef" excelled herself really with a lovely salad and grilled fish.
Unfortunately I set the jar of peppercorns on the table instead of the pepper mill and so a major disaster when Sue tipped the jar upside down ready to grind, opened the lid and the entire content fell on her dinner. Luckily there was enough for us to dispose of most of her meal and enjoy the fruits of her labour.

What a difference this post is to ones previously. NYC seems like another world. Good to hear you made it back safely. Look forward to hearing of your adventures over there.
It must be hard to get used to the different temperature too, I would imagine. I hope your jet lag is getting better. Too bad about the store, it's sad but these things happen all the time
Too bad about that place closing.Gotta pay your taxes though. Seems like you are getting back into the swing of things.
Missed you! Hope your lag is getting better by today. While I have never had it, I heard it is terrible!
Hope you had a great time on your holiday. I sure did enjoy your posts!
