Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Puh-leeez. I scoff at your "very hot". You claim to have lived in Africa? India? 80F. You just watch for my Saturday posting if you want to hear about suffering. 80F. I suppose your afternoon high was, what, possibly 87F?
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. ;^) Nice scene.
You're right - only relatively hot - what I consider a liveable temperature - what we get here in Victoria for a week or two each year.
When I lived in Africa I did not own a jacket or a sweater. Clothes were worn only for social purposes or protection from the sun, never for warmth. I loved it.
8^)
I put my air-conditioner in the window earlier today. Please feel free to speak of your heat - I shouldn't be so hot-headed about it anymore. As you point out, it's all relative. I hope you'll forgive yesterday's "outburst".
