So THAT's where they are!

So, today being predicted to hit a top of 42 degrees, Sash and I decided to head down to Chadstone Shopping Centre to do a bit of shopping and enjoy the air conditioning. Within half an hour I spotted more Rollies than I'd seen in a year in Melbourne:

- TT Daytona
- TT Brown GMT
- SS Black GMT
- SS Black/Red GMT
- TT Lady DJ
- TT mid-size DJ

If I get the job I just applied for, my office will be right above the shopping centre - I'll be working in Rolex country!

Yes most of the ADs in Cardiff have a good range of TT models but very little in the sports SS.Who would have thought that S.S would be more expencive than TT gold on certain models,what a crazy old world we now live in.

I hope that job pays well, James, or you have great will (or in this case, won't) power.

Actually we are on "STORM WATCH 2006" since yes we are actually getting rain today, and for heavens sake the Rose Parade may get rain tomorrow. When it rains in LA it's CHAOS

Like snow in Dallas, the whole city closes, but the way these people drive, it is a good thing they do.
