Brooklyn bridge

21/9 lie-in fine day, saw Brennon and TV now works. Michael on jury duty so no St Patrick's cathedral organ for me. Bus to Brooklyn and got tickets for "Something rotten". Ticket seller suggested we walked over Brooklyn Bridge - fantastic views, lots of people. Discovered Metrocard had run out so put 10 dollars on mine and used that. Natural History museum New York pass had also run out but it was pay what you wish day so 10 dollars.  Quick replan of the day so no Madam Tussauds or New York historical society instead the dinosaurs sketches and Liz went to special exhibition on birds as living dinosaurs. Back on our balcony and finished reading "The good life" excellent book which Ann gave me.
Things not done - Morgan library, Madam Tussauds, MOMAS
1, museum of moving image, Holy Trinity, Asia society, Staten Island and Tibetan museum, UN. but we have done an awful lot.
To St James theatre to see musical "Something rotten" about Shakespeare - very well done and funny! Back at 11.15. Seats in stalls.
