Along with River and others, here is my random photos for Sunday Selections.
Phyllis nagged me about my old breadboards which were a soft plastic that didn't blunt knife edges. He likes his big heavy wooden one, but I don't. I agreed my old plastic boards could go, replaced by these.
We maybe chose the wrong places but fish and chips were a disappointment in England. They are better in Australia.
Comedy Festival in Melbourne, second only to Edinburgh's. The next time I saw these, there was a miked comedy performer next to the mike.
A new building diagonally across the road from here, not ready for occupancy. The balconies are small and I am not sure about the vertical decorative stripes. $4 million plus, you can buy one.
Kosov teases Jass endlessly and Jass loves the attention. She loves Kosov. He has put her in a bag.
Enlarge this photo to take a proper look. Our bank notes are beyond being forged. $100 notes seem to have disappeared in Australia. The Gov didn't like them as they made it easier for crims to store money, and pensioners to hide money under their beds, and generally people didn't like them.
Kosov likes the eggs to symmetrically arranged. I love annoying him by making them un-symmetric.
Stupid motorist drove along Bourke Street Mall. Police intervened. A tram came up behind, so both the offender and the police car turned into Elizabeth Street. I hope she was prosecuted. The signage is very clear, never mind 'Why aren't there cars driving in this street in the middle of the city'.
There are precious things on these shelves Jass. Get down.
A convoy of trucks, no doubt on important business.
Beautifully fresh longan fruit from Victoria Market. Delicious.
Capybara is under threat.
The lads are really quite gross.
Cranes with the colours of the Hungarian flag, perhaps celebrating the fall of Orban.
Tomorrow is a public holiday to celebrate our king's birthday. Pretty cool to see in our lift a display of King Charlee as a drag queen.
Oh, it seems the bird like creature has consumed the BP truck driver.

I googled what a longan fruit is, the interwebs say it is like a lychee so that would be yummy! have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI also didn't know what a longan was. Are they imported from other countries?
DeleteAmy, they are very nice.
DeletePossibly Hels, but they are grown in Australia way up north.
DeleteI enjoyed looking at your lovely photos, Andrew. Jass is a beautiful cat.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda.
DeleteI am pretty sure one can still get $100s from a bank if you ask for them, though the ATMs only give $50s or $20s until they run out and then you get a fistful of $10s which is annoying.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my wooden chopping boards and won't ever go back to plastic which always got smelly after just a year or two. Two of my wooden ones are easily 25 years old while the smaller one is 14, I bought it soon after moving here. I tried a glass board once and was always afraid of dropping it and I was told they blunt the knives too.
Jass is an ornament on the shelf.
My plastic ones always went in the dishwasher and never smelt. I am not against wooden chopping boards, but they are heavy and can't go in the dishwasher. Glass chopping boards would be a disaster for knives.
DeleteThere's been a lot of stuff around lately about microplastics and how we should all be replacing any food-adjacent plastic implements and containers, including nudges to use a wooden chopping block. Maybe P was picking up from that. I'm kind of thinking of getting a wooden block myself as my plastic ones are all getting a bit ancient and abraded.
ReplyDeleteI meant chopping board rather than block.
DeleteThe plastic abrasions entering your body, MC.
DeletePetroleum is said to come from deceased dinosaurs, so maybe the one in the last picture is upset at all the grave robbing.
ReplyDeleteKirk, both wild theories, but what fun to consider.
DeleteThanks to King's birthday that I can breathe this week. The mike sign is very good
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your relaxing day, while you were probably out taking photos.
DeleteI've never used anything but a wooden chopping board. Everything else gives me the ick.
ReplyDeleteI love the creative toy scenes and Jass seems to be a lot of fun, too
Kylie, the toys change constantly, and they are fun.
DeleteFascinating set of photos of home life. Jass has definitely got his feet under the table.
ReplyDeleteShe has indeed, Thelma.
DeleteI use the plastic cutting boards and wash them in the dishwasher.
ReplyDeleteSame here TP.
DeleteAh Jass, be careful, they'll kick you out if you play knock off. I'd never heard of longan. I looked it up. Then I looked up Lychee, then I looked up Rambutan, and down the rabbit hole...
ReplyDeleteStrayer, yes those fruits are all similar, and I like them.
DeleteGetween the pterodactyl consuming the truck driver and the capybara's adventures, there's a lot going on in your house. (Not to mention Jass and her shelf-climbing! Why do cats love shelves so much?!)
ReplyDeleteI mean "between," obviously. :)
DeleteSteve, a good question about shelves and cats, but she constantly changes places to sit, sleep and hide.
DeleteJass and the lads keep you amused, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteThey all do Pat, for sure.
DeleteI enjoyed your selections very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks MM.
DeleteChuckie the Drag Queen, I cracked up.🤣
