The weather forecast for Saturday in Adelaide is 27 and "Mostly Sunny" with the overnight (Sat to Sun) temperature dropping to 12. Nice temperatures for a show at the Adelaide Oval, but it may get chilly towards the end. BUT, and for non-locals, the UV level is showing up as 9 (out of 10) and that's HIGH, so joking apart... DON'T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN.

DON'T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN! People heading for the rehearsals, or hanging around outside of the hotel, tomorrow (Tues 21st Adelaide time) should be aware that the forecast temperature is 37C. That's hot. And make sure that you have plenty of water with you.

It's not Mick Jagger, but Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood in the house @TheAdelaideOval Just in case anyone hasn't realised... the game was played in the same stadium that THE ROLLING STONES are playing in next weekend.... Perhaps he was there to case the joint and not watch the game...

Quotewinos Channel 7 had a very,very brief shot of some live Stones footage last night to say they were coming back but not when exactly One of the commercial channels - 9 I think - had (or even has?) a commercial arrangement with The Stones (or more likely the promoters) and they ran a "special" on the eve of the truncated tour. So arguably, they are more likely to get the scoop o

So, has anyone picked up any evidence anywhere that The Stones actually travelled last night? Indirectly, tour related activity on the Twitter feed and Facebook may be a pointer. Anyone?

Going out on a hopeful limb here! At the time I'm writing this (08:15 AEST) Twitter tells me that Sally Wood, WITH RONNIE IN THAT PICTURE, will be leaving Dubai. My guess is that they are headed, on a commercial flight, to Melbourne (look at the outbound from Dubai) and will arrive here tonight 21:50 AEST - about 13.5 hours from the time of this posting.
