River and others participate in Sunday Selections, as I do but not every Sunday.
Jass showed great interest when this toy arrived in the post from Temu. Lordy, the rubbish P&K order at Temu. She was never inclined to pursue it, but from a raised position, she liked to monitor it carefully. Today, she just ignored it and went off to another room.
The problem with it is it stops after five minutes when it could be under furniture. There is a second one but it is under a bed somewhere, and I ain't gettin' down to find it. A phone charger gives it too much current so I charge it via the desktops USB outlet. This is on its slow setting.
It is always exciting to see balloons fire up their gas burners.

And as Sandra Cox says each Wednesday, I didn't know that; in Australia men's shoe measurements are in UK sizes, as is New Zealand's, but women's shoes in Australia use American sizes. Why? I am a 9, which I guess is nine inches, a very satisfying number.

I'm actually confused as to what the colours mean? Then again, I'm feeling particularly stupid today.

You'd better hand your Irish card in then WWW. Can't you swear like a trooper in the right situation.
DeleteI'm the same as the above comment, I'm not sure what the map etc is all about.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised it is difficult Amy.
DeleteI swear I don't know what that map is about ...
ReplyDeleteThe cat toy is rather spooky.
How cleverly disingenuous of JayCee.
DeleteThe colours on the map seem to be taken from a random generator! I love the look of balloons but always remember my sister's experience and would never go up in one.
ReplyDeleteNow I have to search you blog to find out your sister's ballooning experience.
DeleteApparently I have never blogged it - and I checked her (quite dusty) blog and nor has she - I will link it once I entice her to recount
DeleteUS sizing is smaller (clothing too) and most women would be happier to wear something sized 6 rather than size 8. I remember years ago a bathing suit labelled size 12:AU and 10:US and from buying online neing disppointed when "my" size was far too small and giving the item to a smaller person. The balloons are lovely.
ReplyDeleteDon't have a clue about the map.
All very confusing River. At some point in the past all was marked in metric and we got to know that. Now that is lost.
DeleteThe balloons are illuminated. Cool!
ReplyDeleteBy their gas burners Kirk.
DeleteYou know Andrew I'm really taken with the little toy, it's cute.
ReplyDeleteThe balloons always look good and it's nice to see them drifting along and up. No idea about that map!
I like it too Margaret. It is a crazy little thing.
DeleteDid you go up in a balloon? Were you at all anxious?
ReplyDeleteHels, I have, I think for my 50th birthday. It was good, but rather than a gently landing, the basket dragged along the ground as we landed, which was bit alarming. I wasn't anxious at all. I would be now.
DeleteI am going to wait for the answer as far as the map is concerned. Thelmax
ReplyDeleteThelma, it is curious to me that barely anyone got it.
DeleteI want to ride in a hot air balloon.
ReplyDeleteI watched a YT yesterday TP, where 16 people were killed in a balloon accident in your country. Are you sure?
DeleteI think I understand the map, but wouldn't swear to it.
ReplyDeleteI like the cat toy - it's fun, but would be destroyed instantly by the dogs, who can never resist anything the cats are interested in.
The hot air balloons look fabulous. We had a trip in one in California, but I'd like an English trip.
You clearly do JB. In some circles you might here the word often, but it isn't one I've ever heard my family use. I'm happy to have ballooned just once and survived.
DeleteI can swear like a trouper, however not as an average daily adjective.

He does like a online blue, Jackie.
DeleteRarely, but I do use the eff occasionally. Phyllis and Kosov swear constantly but they were shocked when they first heard me swear.
Beautiful photos, Andrew. And the toy is cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. It amuses me to watch it, even if Jass has lost interest.
DeleteI might understand the map, at least I think I do. Anyway, I always enjoy your Selections, when you post them.
ReplyDeleteMM, I swear you understand it. Thanks.
DeleteI love the balloons, they remind me of Sue.
ReplyDeleteBecause I have showed up here late, I have already seen the answer for the map but I think I would have managed a good guess :)
That's lovely Kylie. Sue did love the balloons.
DeleteI'm quite sure you would have guessed about the map.
That's a very nice cat toy!
ReplyDeleteIt's amuses me more now than Jass, I think.
DeleteMy husband bought almost that exact toy for our kitties. The only difference is it doesn't have that fun tail attached. And that gives me an idea... I'll let you know if my plan works out. Be well!
