Sunday Selections

With River and others, here is my Sunday Selections.

This is to gather stats about where issues happen. 


I believe this is an HT Holden Monaro, perhaps with a V8 engine.


Phyllis bought his non stick dishwasher proof fry pan for quite a price. It has seen good service, and worth what he paid.


A carnivores plant which a couple of months later is about to die by neglect. I am not taking responsibility.
 

Reflected lighting on the building stripes, having shown photos last Sunday of the immediate surrounds. 


Did I use these photos already? No matter.



Some lazy arse no good fucker passed out on my chair.


I bought a product to clean the arms of my desk chair, and it worked. God save the chemicals.
 

Not really representative of my family.


Many months after I bought the new lounge chairs, I got out the freebie cleaning box. I cleaned leather, and then nourished it with the cream. 


All cleaned and nourished. 



I am an old man. That was hard work and my back ached.

  1. The leather looks very good, though, and shouldn't need cleaning again very soon.

    1. JB, don't worry, it won't be redone in a hurry.

  2. I have the same plant, it's about 5 years old now and really really long, you don't have to to do much to it except make sure it's watered regularly and sits in a spot with indirect light.

    1. Amy, the position is good but the watering regime is not.

  3. I love the views in some of your photos, Andrew. The leather does look great!

    1. Linda, it did temporarily improve the appearance of the leather.

  4. Aside from the first image, these made me smile, giggle, or both. Be well!

  5. How can an adult, lazy arsed or not, fall asleep on a chair sideways? His spine must have curved backwards and forwards.

    1. Hels, I do gently remind him of posture and long term issues caused by such lying around.

  6. Is the cost of leather cleaner and nourishing cream really worth it? Is it reasonably priced? I just use the supermarket available Leather wipes for my chairs. Including computer chair which is fake leather PVsomething.
    Is that Phyllis on your chair? As I remember the Monaro of whatever variety was "The Wog Boy's" car of choice.

    1. I doubt it River. The furniture in the photos is about 15 years old I think, and it's never been treated before. But I do believe creams rubbed into leather enhances the appearance and the leather will last longer. As I said, the products came with the new chairs and I doubt I would ever pay for the products.
      Yes, the Monaro was indeed "Wog Boy's" choice.

  7. A carnivores plant? You mean like a Venus fly trap?

    "Feed me!"

    1. Kirk, it's only taken me twelve hours to remember the name that went with "Feed me", and it was Seymour I believe. Yes, it was like a Venus fly trap, before it lost it's flowers to trap anything.

    2. That movie was "The Little Shop of Horrors, the man was Seymour and the plant was called Audrey.

      Delete
    3. River, I don't know the meaning but somehow it slipped in gay lingo. I haven't seen the film, oddly.

      Delete
  8. The sunset is a beauty. I bought a steamer from Taiwan which was so handy to steam buns and dumplings.

  9. That building does look good taken at that angle. Lovely colours in the sky and is that a spider on your A/C?

    1. It is very high quality Margaret, and for what people are paying, it should look good. The spider is made from mini Lego, and I said it could sit there for a week. Six months later.....I'm kind of used to it.

  10. Oh to have a young supple body again that allows you to sleep any which way you want ( and wake without a crick in your neck)

    1. Cathy, wrong. He wakes up from bed sleep complaining about a sore neck.

  11. I realise you worked in transport where word choice was not a big deal so please do not rage when I point out your that you used "carnivores" where "carnivorous" was required. As for that young lout snoring on your chair, it is just not on. You can rage at him as much as you want - "NEVER EVER LOUNGE ON MY CHAIR AGAIN OR YOU ARE OUT ON YOUR ASS!"

    1. Quite so YP, and it's interesting that my incorrect spelling was copied. As I recall, Kosov had worked very long hours over a couple of days and was exhausted. Eventually 15 hours of sleep in one stretch saw him back to himself.

  12. If I stretched out across the chair like that, I would need help getting up, or walking.

  13. interesting plant, I hope it lives for many years, just a little water and potting soil for houseplants and that's it.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, it would live if I looked after it, but I don't. I've refused to take responsibility for any plants aside from my own three.

  14. I'm glad you nourished your chair. What was that meat eater plant supposed to be fed?

    Replies
    1. I would guess small insects and spiders, Strayer. Phyllis did check and it can live fine with just soil and water.

      Delete
  15. You are lucky that the plant died before it devores you !! It's still so hot 33°C and the people mess around with the Airco. They put it on and then open wide the entrance door !!

    1. Ingrid, as you know, that completely defeats air conditioning, and makes it so expensive to run as it constantly works at maximum cooling.

  16. Just saw the pic of the frying pan..poor photo or does a new one need purchasing ?

    ReplyDelete

    1. The pan hadn't been washed, and it is showing signs of heavy usage, but the non stick surface has stayed intact. It's been interesting to see them learn about cookware, and that cheap items are cheap for a reason.

  17. That pitcher plant IS beautiful. Maybe it will regrow its pitchers?

    1. I hope so too Steve, but they need to look after it. I've told them how to water the plant properly.
