With River and others, here is my Sunday Selections using random photos.
Later edit: I don't believe what you can read at our public broadcaster is geoblocked, so if you are interested in Australian news, abc.net.au
It is underground and I don't notice the train travelling past my building, but this on the first day of opening of Melbourne's new Metro Tunnel pleases me. Next stop, Anzac Station. I am so wowed by the new Metro train line, even if I can't see the train as it travels past my place beneath the roadway.
An attractive old Melbourne scene, but to me it is immediately obvious that it is fake. AI, if you like, and not a good effort.
Who had lovely blue hydrangeas? I can't remember.
Jass, your 'butter won't melt in my mouth' vulnerable appearance does not deceive me.
Phyllis bought Kosov a 3kg bucket of Nutella in October. In spite of my entries to avoid eating the brown stinky muck, he has, and there are only scrapings in the bucket now.
A few days after Jass arrived, she hid under my bedding. Two days ago, again I saw a lump in my bed. She was only there for an hour.
Oh yes. The elephant in the room. Our terrible bushfires. Fire Fighting nephew's mother in law's home and apple orchard is under threat as I type. She and the rest of the town's residents have been evacuated to nearby safe places. Marysville where I with Phyllis and Kosov recently spent a couple of days has been evacuated too. As an Anon commented yesterday, the Friday night sunset was amazing, and full of fire threat.
This Saturday afternoon, outside you could inhale the equivalent bushfire smoke of a full packet of Benson and Hedges.
It is disturbing to read how Australia's gun lobby is planning to fight back against more restrictive gun control after the terrible Bondi massacre.
I don't have a credit for this wonderful photo of a tram at its Elizabeth Street terminus, with Melbourne Flinders Street station clock tower dominating the photo.
I can't remember where but after sorting things post Ray's death, I came across this old $10 note. It doesn't even look green.

The bushfire photo is beautiful, although it's a real tragedy, but your kitty is so cute, he looks so cozy, let her sleep with you, you will sleep much better !
ReplyDeleteBushfires are terrifying. We once were driven, at speed, down a route near Cape Town where the fires were burning on both sides of the road. It was the most frightening experience of my life.
ReplyDeleteA 3kg tub of Nutella!! Murder by stodge!
That bushfire photo is so eerie. Fire scares me. Just curious, though. How do you know the St Kilda picture is AI.
ReplyDelete4 parallel tram lines in one street? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteAs always I am enthralled with your transportation system. Blue hydrangeas are one of my favorite things in the whole world. I feel terrible with the fires and destruction you are having right now. MAGAts make up their own things to be upset about, doesn't matter that it doesn't make sense to us sane folks.
ReplyDeleteI object to your words "brown stinky muck" I like Nutella though I don't buy it often and certainly would never buy 3kg at once, that's a catering size bucket.
ReplyDeleteAustralia has a gun lobby?? and why aren't they thinking more responsibly??
That $10 is quite pretty to look at, what year is it from?
Also $10 notes aren't green, they are blue, even the original paper note wasn't green it was a blue/aqua colour. The original paper $2 was green. None have/had that sailing ship.
ReplyDeleteI'd think there'd be some cars in the road by 1926, but that doesn't necessarily mean AI. The picture could just be dated wrong. There must be some other reason you think it's AI that I'm just missing.
ReplyDeleteLove your balcony view. Also the old vintage photo of Flinders station on Elizabeth St. I am growing fond of our city history
ReplyDeleteGuns kill wildlife, rabbits, roos, you name it any living thing, but people, fire a shot and it won't kill them.
