People were setting up stuff in the mall this morning. This is a little mini farm yard.
Rundle mall early afternoon.
I went to the immigration office to have my visa transfered to my new passport.
I had a couple of drinks with mates. We had a great time.
This doesn't fit, but I can't leave Adelaide without one. It's a "HEAPS GOOD" T-shirt. They only come in XL so I will definitely have to hit the exercise machines when I get back in NL...
Morning clouds. It was warm today because the wind was Northerly. Which means it comes from the desert.
We had breakfast in town. We also did some shopping and I saw one of my favorite street artists. This guys is cool to watch. Nicole wanted to touch his hair BADLY! ;-)
One of the mall's balls.
We went to the Crumpler shop because nicole wanted to buy me a birthday present.

We also went to the central market.
Then we had a short break at home. We are calling this pigeon David Bowie because she has two different colored eyes. One is very bright and the other is very dark. She seems to use both. She loves to peck our toes for some reason. And also hands. Well, in my case she loves my silver ring...
After a short break we got the car washed and cleaned and we drove it down to the Croatian Club to make photos of it for when we sell the car. Luckily we managed to do this while there was still sun. It's raining again now and will do so for a few days I believe...
This is the bag Nicole bought for me. It's for my little netbook and its accesories. It will also hold travel documents and lots of other handy things. It's also very safe. I love it very much :-)
My early morning enemy: The parking meter.
And he scores!
They were using a crane to put together a crane.

One of my favourite buskers.
Escalators at Myer.
Nicole bought a new suitcase today. This must be heaven for her ;-)
On our way to work we drove behind this piece of shit for a while. At first I thought that maybe we were a few cars behind a steam-locomotive because of the smoke it vomited in to the air constantly. But no, it was a truck from Sita "Environmental Services". I think they deserve some of my email time for this...
My regular sandwich place was closed for unknown reasons today. I put my plan B in to action. I went to Cibo next door.
After work I walked to PJ's through Rundle mall where I passed the mall's balls.
Rundle mall.
We had our last dinner at PJ's for now. The bartender George who totally makes the place is leaving. Aside from that the main chef can't work due to a broken foot and the other chef quit unexpectedly. The chef working today started two days ago. 
Opposite PJ's they set up a big fair. It's the Adelaide Fringe festival.
Afterwards we had gelato with a view.
In the evening I talked with my mom and dad a bit.
The coffee gods were good to me today. Or maybe it was because of the email my colleague sent out to everyone after my big coffee machine cleanup extravaganza. Who knows? It was ready to roll and it made me a good cuppa Joe too. Something probably goes very wrong next time...
The morning was miserable. A storm started right after Nic came back from the toilet at 4 AM. We feared mostly for the two cockies outside. We tried to give them shelter but it also increased the surface that the wind can blow on and thus it increases the risk of the cages to be blown over. Anyway, after 4 AM we didn't really sleep much also because a banging sound that reminded us of parts of a roof being ripped off somewhere. On top of that we had to get up at 6:45 because it was Nic's first day at work and they have an early meeting every Monday etc. etc. Whilst leaving the house I heard that banging sound again and went to investigate. It was created by two f&@*!ng lemons bigger than tennis balls banging against the metal plated fence. Beauty. On the way to work we even got some hail. It was all very unpleasant. By lunch time the sun was out again.
After work I walked to the pub again. As I passed the mall's balls I noticed the little lights below it. I've always wanted to see them on but it was never dark enough.
Aren't they pretty? They weren't always there we think. I can't remember seeing them before we arrived this time.
I was desperate for my fix of Magners Irish cider and ordered a bottle of it. It fits exactly one pint. Very exciting when pouring because you can pour it out fast and everybody who doesn't know will think you're gonna spill it hehe. Yes, I know, it's a dark photo. Maybe it will improve when I buy my iPhone... IF I buy one...
Driving through town on our way home. Pretty lights everywhere. It's very nice to have a drink and a meal after work.
