Thanks everyone, warm weather is very welcome at this time of year! (Tanya and LOLfromPasa - I wish I knew what they were filming! The last one in town was before Xmas, with a Ben Affleck/Justin Timberlake film...maybe this is a follow-up...it was a pretty big production).
Regarding your comment on tiled buildings: Tiles come from the times of the Moorish occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. The Moors were expelled in the 12th century, when Portugal was founded and tiles have been used everywhere since then. However, and generally speaking, tiled façades became fashionable on buildings only after the Great Earthquake in 1755.
Rosie - I'm so thrilled to see you here!! Just lovely to connect (as with Lisa earlier:) and such a sweet gift to kick off the end of the week!! Better than sunshine (though our local sunshine may be short lived too, some cold nights in the forecast!:)
Looks like a nice warm day, for sure! Thanks so much for stopping by my Tuesday Muse/ABC Wednesday post and commenting two weeks ago! I have been taking a break, and am sorry it took so long to visit you back!
How intriguing Lulu, will be interesting to find out a wee bit more.. Ewan McGregor was in Perth making a movie ( might be still here) believe me I've been keeping the peepers on the lookout..he's too cute AND that gorgeous accent :)

It was hot here today! We went straight from winter to summer.
Congratulations on getting to enjoy some warmth!
Cool ... I mean warm. Perhaps they are filming for 'An Ideal Mind II".
Golden treasure!
Aloha
Ah, warmth at last, love how everyone is seeking the shade!
I hope you managed to land a role in the movie!
what are they filming?
Una buena oportunidad de sacar ¡muchas, muchísimas fotos!
Un saludo, Ángel
Neat shot, and I'll bet this was fun to watch!
Glad you are getting some nice weather. xo.
I actually had the AC on yesterday, but today we are expecting thunderstorms and hail! Never boring!:)
It seems so warm and nice.
Greetings.
Looks like you are quite close to the action :). Like Tanya, I want to know what they are filming?? Rain in Coventry. I can cope with that!

Cool shot. And I love those walls.

How wonderful! I enjoyed seeing the sun in your photo, too, as it has been raining here! :-)
Hope the warm weather continues for you. The crew had lots of equipment to lug around.
Beautiful setting.
Here we're getting ice pellets and ten to fifteen centimetres of snow starting overnight.

JM - very interesting and informative, thank you for the tidbit!
Great shot! We've had weather extremes as well. It was in the eighties, then we had a cold snap, now we've got another warm weekend ahead....
We in the Great White North sure could use a bit of sunshine, even if the white has turned brown. Will you share?
