Trip to London Today

Went to London today guys, boy it was warm. Visited Burlington Arcade, Lots of other arcades, Rolex Boutique, Wempe etc.

Came home with a little something, will post pictures when I get batterys for the camera.

In the meantime wonder if you can guess what it is?

By the way, popped into Wempe, looked at a few watches, they gave me some ice cold mineral water to drink whilst I gazed, really attentive I must say.

Yah - that's a scary post.

I know enough to know that a Glock is a handgun...a very big one at that. Somewhat paradoxically, Glock is also a fun word to say.
