It's hot in Adelaide. We are in the midst of a heat wave--- 16 days of temperatures between 35-44 degrees. It does not really cool down at night. The city is an oven. We bake.
This looks so attractive:

Geoff's photos are published at Leatherwood Online Check them out. They've only been up a week.
I long to be in Tasmania. I've had enough of the heat. The heat stress during the day and lack of sleep at night from the heat wears you down. The airconditioners cannot cope once the brickwork of the house becomes hot. At the end of a heat wave you are barely able to function.
Update
The heat wave has broken. It's cool in Adelaide this morning with just a few spots of rain. Maybe it will even rain? The ground sure needs it. Parts of the parklands are cracked wide open.

Why'd you leave NZ? It was 8 degrees in Dunedin this evening.
Dunedin in February has a lot going for it. Not least, gale force winds and driving rain. Where do I sign up?
