Here in the hills its like about 15 degrees atm with a nice cool breeze (guess it will hit Adelaide aswell).
It's quite lovely outside at the moment - BOM tells me it's 24.4, and there's a light breeze about.
Da BOM is DA BOMB!

It feels nicer than that, though, especially when the sun isn't smacking me across the head.
Besides, we've all been conditioned in the past week to believe that 24C is in fact cool.

I think the last time I went to bed at any sort of reasonable hour was when I was about four feet tall and heading off to primary school in over-sized pants. Early sleep and I don't mix.

I wish I had. It's so my luck to come back straight into the worse heat wave on record...
(As an aside, I really love the descent into Adelaide. The view over the city is wonderful, and it really looks as though things are happening, with cranes scattered about the place and various things setup in the parklands.)
I can relate to that. I have been in Europe for the last 3 weeks where the temp reached a stifling 14 degress! lol
Talk about going from 1 extreme to the other.

I wonder if extremists were screming about global warming then?

Was down at the Bay just a few moments ago, and the weather was fantastic. Little bit of cloud, little bit of sunshine, little bit of a breeze. Serenity.
