Adelaide, as you have now heard, is a city laid out (in 1836), with wide boulevards and this central square called Victoria Square. Here, the one and only remaining Electric Tram line, to Glenelg, has it's terminus. Adelaide is known as the 20 minute city. You can get to anywhere in under 20 minutes, but today with the thermometer on 40 C / 104 F, I wasn't going further than the local Aldgate paint shop.
I shall continue to zoom you in to Adelaide, as time goes by.
At midday, when it was only 100 F, (still nice and cool), I popped down to the local shops, with camera, of course. On returning, and before painting in the bathroom, I took this shot for my Northern Hemisphere friends.

You love it don't you (between teeth).
So at least we have pigeons in common. Send some of that warmth to the UK would you?? Brrr.

Nice old thermometer. Thats your proof of how hot things are in Adelaide.

Greeting from Madrid
Ame (and Buzz),
Yair, it was like batting on a stickey wicket. !!! Better get Dive to explain that one dear. (Even tho' they don't play much cricket in Malta !!!)
Susan,
Yes it does get a bit warm in Adelaide, perhaps a bit more than in Maple Ridge in the Summer. Loved your moon shot and the nice conversation you had with the Moon!
Dsole,
I imagine that Madrid can be as warm as Adelaide in your Summer. We have a much lower population, here, about one million. At night we have cooling "gulley breezes" in the evening near the foothills; and Sea Breezes close to the coast.
It was oly 37 and a bit degrees here today and as I drove home at 8:30 pm from French class, the gulley breezes were tremendously strong and the temperature had dropped considerably.
Gracias por su visita. Era muy agradable verle, señora.
Lynn,
Shall I send some heat and hold on the pigeons? I hope your weekend was warm and cuddly. At least pigeons can never, now be a theme-day theme. Praise the Lord !!!
You're too much M-B...awesome comment yourself! Very touching! ;) I'm sure he feels the love! =)
Weekend very warm and cuddly i can report, M. Benaut, temperatures rose and fell frequently with plenty of showers.
