Ground floor perfumery, kitchenware and bags...
If you have no idea and need to lose an hour or become acquainted with a specific type of English humour before we entered the EU......jump to 20 mins for classic Mollie Sugden
For a moment I think I'm back in Seattle
But it is a different skyline
Having spoiled me with a bus ride, in our usual way we decide to acquaint ourselves with the full square footage of the city in Texan style heat because my legs have grown so long even Naomi Campbell feels threatened and P is scared I'll be able to look him in th eye without the need for a chair - not to mention having to break in my new Merrell Sangals (fashion note...the head of Australian Vogue got sacked a year ago for missing my bobby dazzlers.....).
Got enough Os
Warehouse number 9 which has been converted into Cell block H(otel) for corporate troughing and boat admiration
Russell Crowe lives at the end of the row below with a set of dragon garden ornaments he must have asked Mark Billam to pinch from outside the pagoda in Peasholm Park, Scarborough (click on link to be amazed at Yorkshire exoticism and you need to know as a kid I never got to the island in the middle of the boating lake on which said pagoda was tantalisingly out of reach and was a whole sixpence entrance fee because my mother had blown it on Ken Dodd and his Diddy Men at the Futurist).

Lunch across from Lang Shan Crowe where a bowl of chips cost $10!!!!! but turn out to be the entire potato crop of Idaho. No wonder Oz is competing with the US on its obesity stats. I've come to the conclusion that the fit blokes in Iron Man are the same bloke in different budgie smugglers (local lingo) and false teeth who is sponsored by Krispy Kreme and this firm.
Onward to get the chip oil moving...P has to be credited with this, I couldn't reach over the gladioli
And it just wouldn't be our blog without cheeky local personalities
And abit of history before we head off to Brisbane for culture with a capital K....
