Sunday Selections

I'm joining with Elephant's Child, perhaps not River this week, and others for Sunday Selections.

Just to taint this otherwise pure post, our own #47 wannabe PM Duttrump's has onboard shadow minister, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, for the ministry of Government Efficiency. Well, we've seen across the Pacific the chaos caused by DOGE, the 'Department of Government Efficiency', headed by Elon Muskrat. But when she declared her ambition to Make Australia Great Again, MAGA, oh fuckin' dear. Unless you are a seriously rich person, perhaps with a family trust or a director of a company, you'd be mad to vote for the conservative Liberal and National Party coalition. Be afraid of Peter Dutton. He will cut, cut and cut funding to everything that is important to Australians, line the pockets of big business and tax cuts for the rich, enrich consultants who have proved themselves as failures, and get rid of experienced and unbiased public servants, yet without offering anything better to the average Australian. 

I don't know why but it seems I never posted these 2023 fireworks photos. Fireworks are a bit of fun.

 

Saturdays and Wednesdays are when yachts come out to play. 

I took the lads to Altona Beach several weeks ago. Included are photos of when Ray and I visited just after the new pier opened. 

There's Ray's shadow and mine. 

Towards the end of last year I updated my will, which meant I had to visit State Trustees in Footscray. I caught the train and it was too hot to be out in the sun, but very short walk to the business via a small rather nice park was ok, except for this shipping container that seemed to be provided for the homeless of the area. I did not like.

Sister has a video tape player connected to her bedroom tv. I tried earlier this year to make it work to see what was on these tapes of Ray's but I couldn't get the system to work. Sister asked if they were safe to look at, meaning perhaps they had pron on them. Well, I don't know until I look at them, do I! It is quite unlikely. 

I walked past this bar called Jimmy O'Neills in Acland Street, St Kilda. I am sure every outdoor customer had an Irish accent. 

This car was part of art installation around St Kilda, with other cars spread around. 

Just another nice meal by Phyllis. 

The train was shorter back then. 

Phyllis bought some pull off sticky labels. There are less on the sheet now, than there is in this photo. I ordered the cactus to their bedroom. 

Right place at the right time. I just loved the lighting on the side of this city building. It being such a nice wall helped.
