Sure did! This weather is something else! !ALIVE

I must say, it is a very large model 🤣.

From memory, I think you're right.

Sounds like you are at similar latitudes to the uk, or even further north! Am I right?

We don't usually get such a long hot summer here. Usually changeable and sometimes very cool and wet.

Good luck in getting into the top 200. Congrats on your 11k @actifit steps. !ALIVE

Cant win 'em all! Unless you're the champion of course 😀

That looks so dangerous 😳. I don't know if it's close to a footpath but hey! The things we see these days! !ALIVE

You can say that again! 🙄

I can imagine you frequent the malls a lot for a coffee! No? !ALIVE

Oh, you're so lucky, I'm jealous! 😀

It a shame I couldn't get a closer photo. I didn't want to make people uncomfortable by taking their picture! 🤣 !ALIVE

Yes, it is a very pleasant walk any time of year under the glass roof. Swan walk has been around for many years, and I was impressed by how clean the roof was.

A very cheeky shot of that heron! 😜 !ALIVE

There is no sign of rain for about two weeks! I still haven't been out on my bike...too hot! I'll have to maybe leave home just after sunrise to beat the heat. That would be good actually 🤔. We'll see!

Thanks for your reply. I'm sure you would love the lakes and wildlife here. !ALIVE

Thanks, yes it is getting hotter by the day, around 30°C today. I didn't get out on my bike this morning but I will very soon. Obviously, due to the heat I need to ride early as possible. !ALIVE

Yes, thanks for your reply. It is a very striking plant. Even more so in reality. I think I must have taken the photo at the right time, and the first time I have seen it in bloom. !ALIVE

Oh thanks for that! Yes, I can see how it got the name. !ALIVE

Wow! This is getting interesting! 😀
