Sunday Selections

I hope I have the day right for Sunday Selections. I've become terribly confused about days towards the end of the week. I am joining with River, and perhaps she too became a little confused about days, peaking early for Sunday Selections

There are a few animal memes this week. I am a bit short on photos for SS.


We are fortunate that Jass has no interest in human food.


Jass thought she needed to keep a close eye on these new shoes sent by Kosov's parents, should something crawl out of them I suppose.


This was about three days after a notification by building management about the carpark door being  out of service for maintenance for a few hours. It is proof that people nowadays seldom check their letterboxes. I check if the lift is ten floors or more above the foyer, which gives me time to quickly check my normally empty letterbox. Did I read Denmark was ceasing standard mail delivery by post. 


I checked, and it is quite legal for B Double trucks to use Toorak Road where the truck has turned from, but should it be? 


Did I mention I dined at the Swiss Club restaurant Edelwyss with a friend just before Christmas? It was quite good and I would visit again. I blew my food budget by ordering an affogato with scotch poured over the top. It was worth it.


Phyllis asked me show my thumb. I am used to such things, but this time it was henna and took a few days to come off. 



Jass did not kill any decorations, just roughed them up a bit.


PS That funny edit symbol appariend to the right of where you compose your post, well I keep forgetting what it does. I clicked it and it inserted a couple of links into this post. It will be interesting to see what it turns up when I check once this is posted. I can't be bothered checking now.

  2. Eidelweiss in Flinders Lane was a perfect spot for a work lunch. Until Covid, that is. Now I never go into the City :(

    1. Hels, sorry you don't visit the city now. It constantly changes and is rather wonderful.

  3. Well, you know I'll be of no help about that editing symbol. lol Thanks again for your clear directions on how to access Blogger spam. Your entire post made me think as well as giggle. I appreciate all the images/videos of pets caught doing something they shouldn't. Be well!

    1. Darla, I am interested to know if legitimate comments were in the spam folder? Was that the problem?

  4. I know exactly why my post scheduled early, I usually type and add photos on a Saturday, then click the next date to schedule the post, but last week I did it on a Thursday and then clicked on the next date instead of the Sunday date. That looks like an awfully big truck for that corner. Whose thumb am I looking at?

    1. River, it is my thumb. Phyllis drew something on the back of his hand, but I never looked at it closely.

  5. What were you dying, that you got henna on your thumb? First I became mixed up in the days lately, then the hours too. So I'm like a jet lagged mess. I blame the holidays.

    1. Strayer, the henna was applied to my thumb. I didn't know what it was.

  6. I love your memes. Lighthearted and full of fun.

    1. I do miss having dogs, Kirk. But they are harder work.

  8. Memes are good but mostly they are.
    Amused at Jass waiting for something to come out of the shoes..lol
    Nice selection and that truck doesn't look happy coming around that bend.

    1. Margaret, I doubt anyone was happy about the truck, including the driver of the truck. Toorak Road is horrible to drive along.

  9. That truck shouldn't be allowed in the city. Yes Denmark have stopped snail mail. Love your dog photos. Jass is cute watching the shoes.

    1. I agree about the truck, Diane. I can't think of a reason why it would be at this location.

  10. I am glad I am not driving that truck, or driving next to it around those bends.

    1. TP, I am also pleased to not be driving such a truck. It is a bit unusual to see such a large truck there.

    2. Perhaps he took a wrong turn?

  11. Hi Andrew -- Jass looks like a lovely cat! I always wanted a calico myself but ended up with a tuxedo instead (who now features on my blog as Her Royal Highness). I'm participating in my first Sunday Selections today. Here's my blog post link --

    1. Thanks Debra. I didn't know anything about calico cats. They are pretty, whereas tuxedos seem more handsome.

  12. Cats always seem intrigued by the most mundane things, though perhaps the smells of "other" people caught Jass' nose/

    1. Yes Bob, like a chewed leather bookmark this morning.

  13. Who knows what cats are thinking? There must be some smell that Jass likes on those shoes, Andrew.

    1. Pat, smells of India, quite foreign to her unless it is food.

  14. I have so far managed to avoid clicking that function that inserts links. Can you reverse it once you've activated it?

    I love the dog meme about cheese. That could easily have been Olga too.

    1. I don't know the answer to that. So you want me to be the guinea pig and give it a try! The only link I manually inserted was to River's site.
