Sunday Selections #714

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us.

The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.

beginning today with these small Halloween ornaments which I bought in Woolies

a beautiful fridge magnet sent to me by Elephant's Child which now lives on my fridge, there were a couple of postcards in the envelope too and they are also on my fridge. Thank you EC.


new apartments under construction in Eastwood, a suburb near mine


and a closer look at the daffodil mural on that fence

some of the roses in one of the rose gardens here

There are several of these bushes which have blooms that change colour from bud to dying

look at the beautiful orange on the newly opened blooms that will fade to pinky yellow, then eventually to almost white before the petals drop.

"no-one" is having a rush of ladybugs (ladybirds?)


on her fruit trees.


This is my TV watching set up, two 4TB hard drives, one with movies and the other with TV series, some complete, others having new episodes added as they become available


plugged into the "hub" via usb cords and accessed via options on the TV, I get to watch my favourite shows without the annoying advertisements, and I can pause them if i need to answer the phone or leave the room for any reason.

if I don't want to scroll through all the options on those hard drives, I also have movies on smaller usb sticks (thumb drives), assorted sizes, some 16GB, some 32GB, a few are 64GB and of course those hold more movies that the 16GB ones which hold about 20 movies though it does depend on the length of the movies. Older movies were often shorter, newer ones are the sort you want to begin early in the evening if you plan on going to bed before midnight.


Daddy J took the girls to the park for swings

and slides, I think this is Ana


and Gen. 

then it was home again for bathtime


and teeth brushing.

  1. Do Australians use "ladybug" rather than "ladybird"? In the states we say "ladybug," as you probably know. It's interesting if we share that linguistic change.

    A word of caution about the USB sticks -- I think they're not the best device for long-term storage. They DO go bad. (Hence my recent kerfuffle with my family's home movies.)
