Snow at the Bothy

 

Actually, today at Slideville has been bright and above freezing.

This slide, from 1960, shows more chilly weather.

Bonus - The Case for Still Owning a Filing Cabinet

Croquet Practise

 

A young Andy Murray (no, not that one) awaiting his turn at croquet practise. At the time, his sister (Trudy) was the number 16 seed in the Hampshire under 12s girls croquet rankings.

I Baptise Thee...

 

...in the holy church of Jesus Christ, with the name ....(sigh) Kevin John Albert Eric Clapton Montgomery ...(sigh)... Spock Steptoe George Best Arkwright-Flowerdew.

and may God have mercy on your soul.

Bonus - A dung beetle walks into a bar... He asks, is this stool taken?

12th East Grinstead Scout Troop - Scout Hut.

 

Of course it isn't.

But, there was nothing on the slide to indicate where this was (or when).

I'm not dissuaded by that, and with some digging around, I'd say that this is the War Memorial Opera House, in San Francisco. Probable from this exact point.

Bonus -  Nope. Not going to explain.

...and a box of Peek Freans within reach.

 Margaret Billingsly-Drabble never knew when hunger may strike, so dotted around her house were a series of Broken Biscuit Boxes (remember them?).

In the spare bedroom - Huntley and Palmer, but in the front room - Peek Frean.

Bonus - 16 deaths and 40,000 homes destroyed, but one statue survived. It’s God’s mercy at work!

Click for big. 

Beachwear, Hats, Sunglasses ... and Maracas

 

What more could I say?

The Time Is Still Not Right

 

I have previously mentioned The Bonetti Brothers, and have been itching to tell more of their history.

However, after last time, I awoke the next day to find the head of a lettuce in my bed...clearly a warning.

So... I shall stay Shtumm.

Bonus -  RIP Sam Moore

One For The Ladies

 

This is Jeffery. 

He's 37 years old, divorced, and looking someone who's make him feel special.

WLTM someone in the Wilmington Area, ideally living in 1963.

Big Norks would be an advantage.

Bonus - I've just invented a new word. Plagiarism. 

Bonus 2 - 

Dealing With Natural Obstacles - Part 1

 

One of these rocks is not like the other rocks.

This looks like it (Near the bottom of the page)

Bonus -

Euphemia and Elston

 

From a very deteriorates / colour-casted set of slides, probably from the early 50's.

Sorry.  A bit distracted today.

Tedious Tuesday, Live From ... Somewhere.

 Greetings Slide-Fans.

Yes, it's the first Tedious Tuesday of 2025, and it's not very interesting.

As usual, there's zero information on the slide, but that's never stopped me. In a matter of hours, I'd identified this as being Sacro Eremo di Camaldoli. Does this look familiar? From WikiMedia  and More Info

Bonus - 

Silly!

Beach-Lounging Time

 

As promised, time to move on from the Christmas / New Year / Winter slides.

So, here's someone sunbathing on a beach.

The slide has no info on the location, but that appears to be TARPON SPRINGS FLORIDA: SPONGE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. The remains of the collapsed Battery Bigelow

Bonus -

A Disturbing Santa

 

So, it's probably time to wrap up with the Christmas /New Year slides. Not because I've run out of them... Oh Heavens, No!  I just feel that you are bored of them, dear reader.

So, let's end with a weird one.  Distorted colours and a strangely creepy Santa. perfect.

Farewell, dear children.

Bonus - New research into the dying brain suggests the line between life and death may be less distinct than previously thought
