What's this COUNTRY coming to

When I finally managed to get out of bed and get showered and dressed. I quickly went out to the Pavilion Shopping Centre to go buy Amy's doll, that she will be bringing home from the hospital, same time I bring baby home...before the time runs away from me.

Little did I know that I was going to be in for this!!!

I must have just got there 15-20 minutes after the incident happened, but by the time I got down the escalator to Woolies. They closed off certain sections of the shopping centre. Where we just had to wait till we could carry on shopping etc.

What actually happened was 3-4 armed robbers came in and held up Arthur Kaplan Jewellers and Beverly Jewellers. Then a policeman on duty saw what was happening and tried to stop them, but they opened gun fire on him...

Read as it is printed here.

Just as well, I got there afterwards and not before or during...someone is watching me above!!!

I really do not know what they are going to do wit the upcoming Christmas season that is almost upon us, makes you not want to go shopping anymore.

On a lighter note, this is the DOLL that I got for Amy, I hope she is going to like it. My Mom kept a lot of the clothes I had for My First Love doll when I was little, and it looks like the size will be perfect for Amy to use on her doll...it will bring back fond memories of my dolls...
