I have a sports/water watch, a big metal diver's watch, a dress watch, a Mickey Mouse watch...<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, when I'm feeling like I need a treat, I buy a watch. I'm weird that way.<BR/><BR/>As a journalist, I feel bound by the clock. I'm so governed by deadlines that it's against my nature to take a few seconds to find the nearest clock on the wall. I trust only my wrist.<BR/><BR/>Still, I wish I could ditch the watch. When I'm on vacation, I love not wearing one at all. It's highly freeing.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1153428639697413502006-07-21T08:50:00.000+12:002006-07-21T08:50:00.000+12:00I agree, I don't like stifling heat much, either. ...I agree, I don't like stifling heat much, either. But the cold gets tiresome after a while. New Zealand houses aren't often central heated or very well insulated, if we try and keep warm the electricity bill becomes very alarming. I am resorting to thermal underwear and two woollen jerseys over all the other layers.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1153420780888374312006-07-21T06:39:00.000+12:002006-07-21T06:39:00.000+12:00I think it's one of the longest spells of cold wet...<EM>I think it's one of the longest spells of cold wet winter weather we've had in a long time.</EM><BR/><BR/>Wanna swap? Everyone in this hemisphere seems to be complaining about how stiflingly hot it is. Cold, wet weather seems like bliss...Pacianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674211302650875387noreply@blogger.com
