yesterday was grey and rainy, but today was beautifully breezy and sunny - which was good as i had to walk to my vision therapy appointment (which went surprisingly well . . i actually showed some improvement on two of the exercises). i ran a few errands on the way home and passed the reading of the names of those new yorkers lost to aids, as it's world aids day today, and it was the first time since covid that there was a public gathering at the memorial . .
and then i was out again in the late afternoon to meet chanda at trader joe's . . (where i like to buy butter as it's priced better than anywhere else in the city).
it was a pretty walk home in the evening (though the groceries were heavy!) . . i love the old building that bed, bath and beyond is in (on the left in the photo above). also, the trader joe's building is quite old too and once housed a barnes and noble bookstore with a cafe on the mezzanine.
morgana had never been to the ramen restaurant so we decided to eat there tonight. we shared a miso curry broth, spring rolls and dumplings and then morgana went off to see the complexions dance company again (a different program) while greg and i went home. victoria had gone to the public theatre to see performance artist penny arcade and learned that she and ms arcade had a mutual friend in playwright harry koutoukas, whom greg was friends with too (harry died in 2010).
Flora loves ramen and would have liked that place! You need one of those bags on wheels to get the groceries home. Many people in London have them!
ReplyDeleteThat's what Morgana said. I used to have one in Brooklyn. It was actually quite a large (pretty and red) metal cart.
DeleteI see even younger people with them. I used to associate them with really old people, but it is not the case anymore.
DeleteThat's good! They're smart :)
