Sunday Selections

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. 

En garde.

An eerie evening light.

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.
