Nice Day For A Spin


This was an odd slide. Not because it was a MonoChrome Slide (Agfa used to make Scala film) but because this was a set of B+W Negatives, mounted in a 35mm slide mount.

Odd. Very odd.

But a nice vintage set - and apparently from 1937.

Nice.

The Mid-Winter Feast

And on the catwalk next....Noelle


Noelle is wearing an outfit that she design and made herself, with the aid of sunglasses and a pint of Long Island Iced Tea. The outfit would be ideal for a visit to an abattoir, or initiation into a Nunnery.

Traditional and Modern


Frustratingly lacking any info, this slide really gets mt bran thinking.One question, mainly.

Why?

What's the benefit of an Up On Stilts house?    Is it in preparation for rising sea levels?

Bonus - Meet the newest dog on the force. Meet Officer Kiah.

Make Room For A Mushroom


Every year, thousands of mushrooms are purchased for Christmas. People buy them "to have in an omelette" or "maybe we'll have a fry-up" or "I fancy a mushroom rissoto on BoxingDay". Laudable aims.

However the reality is that the musrooms are left forgotten at the back of the fridge, alongside the trifle-infused cheese, and are thrown out in  January when mum has a clear out fridge day.

It's a waste.

Remember - A Mushroom Is For Christmas, Not For Life.

Bonus - No CGI, This REALLY Happened.

Bonus 2 - Remember to clear off all snow from your car.

Here's One I Made Earlier


Unusually, I have a fairly good idea of the subject of this slide.

No, not Mrs Ethel Kubrista, nor her gently psychedelic dress.

But a close examination of the mode reveals "Lower cost housing scheme, Daledene, Lewes Road, East Grinstead".  And here's a flat answering that description.

So, something about Scientology. Maybe.


Bonus - 8 .... 9 ... 10 ...

Neighborhood Summit


A chance to discuss the important matters of the day.

The abstract Something


I've been staring at this slide for several weeks, and I'm still perplexed as to who, what, why, where or even which-way-up.

But I like it.

The Wedding Guests


These two, let's call them Mr & Mrs X (even though they're actually Archie and Sandra Higgins), may appear to the very epitome of decency, are in fact swingers.

In fact, I have it on good authority that under that black woolen coat, Mrs X is wearing just a string of pearls.  Mr X, is wearing a device known as The Devil's Saucepan, and is the cause of his grimacing face.

Filthy beggars.

Bonus - What The Heck, Bangkok????

Bonus 2 - Back-Flip like a Champ!

A great place for a holiday.

Also from Scotland. This tempting idea for a Christmas Present. (NSFK)

And who is this little chap?


Yes, it's slide number 3400, and it's of "Lord Ronald Gower, Stratford."

Well, that's what the slide says. In fact, that's the name of the sculptor (a notorious Uranian), and the subject is William Shakespeare.

Wiki Link.
