Kosov asked if he could borrow my shopping trolley. While I would pay $2 or more for a kilo of onions, perhaps, they can buy ten kilos of onions for $10. He needs the trolley to bring them home by train or bus and tram. Tomorrow I have to give him a shopping trolley lesson, lol. Actually, that is not as silly as it sounds. The clip that keeps it in the folding position is vulnerable to falling off. The best way to pull the loaded trolley is at an angle whereby it kind of balances itself. Heavy items need to be placed near the big wheels.
On to the mural, or murals in this case. I think both photos were taken in Fitzroy.

I like both murals but prefer the first.
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing murals. And thanks for making me giggle over the trolley lesson. I grew up in a car culture and still have limited access to mass transit. It's not a problem, though, as driving makes me happy as long as weather and traffic aren't too bad. My husband's eldest brother, sister-in-law, and nephews are the exact opposite. I find their preferences both foreign and fascinating but in no way disagreeable. :D I'm not certain they ever lived in suburbia. Be well!
ReplyDeleteI think I need a sholley. My shopping trips via Shanks' pony make my shoulders ache.
ReplyDeleteThose murals are very bright and colourful. I have enlarged and zoomed in on the second one but still can't make it out. Must be my eyesight but it seems a little blurry.
We have just given our shopping trolley away to someone who will actually use it, We tend to get fresh veg every few days and our heavy shopping is now delivered.. 10 kilos of onions! Wow!
ReplyDeleteMurals are interesting the colours in the second one are soft but then you see teef! Must be be symbolic
I've no idea what either of these eman, but I do admire the talent and perseverance to pain such large scale pieces.
ReplyDeleteOnions are natural sweeteners anyone could get avoiding the refined sugars. The murals are unique and funky.
ReplyDeleteOne can never have too many onions.
ReplyDeleteAgree. It seems a no-brainer to buy them in such larger quantities. One downside, as with all bulk purchasing, is that they take up space. I have also noticed that the onions offered for sale in this way are sometimes not the best/freshest, which can lead to some wastage and a bit more faff in prep.
DeleteThe second mural--nice to know that psychedelia isn't dead.
ReplyDeleteVERY nice murals this week. I hope the trolley behaves itself for Kosov.
ReplyDeleteI like your mural today and appreciate your thoughtful advice about the shopping trolley which registered with me immediately. Aloha, Andrew
ReplyDeleteI like both murals, but prefer the first one. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew. Good luck with the onion purchasing :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of onions, hope the trolley will be alright.
ReplyDeleteThe murals are good.
Kosov has to do driver license for a shopping trolley and I had to do one for wheelchairs ! The murals are nice !
ReplyDeleteI never used that clip on mine, SweetBear uses it all of the time.
ReplyDeleteShopping trolleys are not common here. I've never used one so would need lessons, too. We do have enormous carts in the grocery stores and some other big box stores. They can be hard to navigate, especially if they get a wonky wheel.
ReplyDeleteGreat murals! I don't have a shopping trolley so I have no words of wisdom on that count.
ReplyDeleteIf I was handing my shopping trolley over I would have to warn them about a persnickety back wheel that misbehaves in the most awkward of circumstances.
