Last week I was in Melbourne and to celebrate they threw me a parade . . . okay, it might have been for the Olympic team but I like to think of it as being for me. As I left the office (keeping my eyes on the pavement so as not to be distracted by Gucci, Chanel, etc that are right outside our Melbourne office), I started grumping that the street was shut and the one shop I wanted to get to was on the other side of the road and then I realised why.

Just in case it is not obvious, I did not take this picture, although I did see Grant Hacket - pretty much the only one I would recognise!

Also, it should be noted that this photo does not acuratley represent the weather in Melbourne - it was cooooooold and seriously windy.
