71 views. Oh my gosh, that is the most views I’ve had in a single day. Ever!! If only I could get to 100!! And all because of the car. It seemed like a realistic goal to me.
The next day:
Opening my laptop, an e-mail caught my eye. “Boo (not as in Boo, I scared you, as in pet name for my husband)!!! I got freshly pressed!!!!!!!!!” Sure, it was his birthday that day, but I couldn’t contain my excitement. It’s not every day you get freshly pressed. I fumbled over all the keys on my laptop, too giddy to operate it properly. The wait was agonising. Why is it the internet always takes so long when you really, really want to look at something?
Finally (after what seemed like an eternity), the page loaded. 1,220 views!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the day wasn’t even over yet!!!! I felt like I’d just won an Oscar. Well, what I imagine it would feel like. Being Freshly Pressed is what every blogger strives for (ok, maybe not all bloggers, but I certainly did). After 3 days of being Freshly Pressed on the front page (how does that work, I thought being freshly pressed only lasted for 24 hours?), 5,899 views, 1,853 votes, and 160 comments, the winner is…..
BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interestingly, 24.32% of Aussies said the car is purple, the highest percentage of any country. Maybe it really is a cultural thing. Maybe they are taught that way. Or maybe Aussies have a high percentage of colour-blindedness…. I’m just happy to know that I’m not colour blind.
Thank you to everyone who read my blog, voted, and made comments. Sadly though, the argument is far from over. Aaron, of course, claims my photos make the car look blue. I say they look true to life. I even took one in the sun and one in the shade, so as not to bias said photos. I will have to find out the actual colour from a dealership or auto shop. If I can be bothered….. For now though, I’m happy to go with the majority, and say: “Sorry Boo, the car is BLUE!”
P.S. Since I got a lot of comments about the nice flowers next to the car, here are photos of the flowers in the front and side garden (Thanks to Trish, who planted them all a long while ago).
