A Map of Luxembourg

 

It's Tedious Tuesday, and tradition dictates that it's an "odd" slide today.

Does a slide of a map of Luxembourg count?

Could be considered fascinating, by some.

Bonus - 

T'wit

Back from Paradise.

 

Just a little shout out to My Little Sister, who is just back from Mauritius.  Hiya Sis.

Don't know if this slide is of Mauritius, but it could be.

Bonus - And it's my Brother-In-Law's birthday today.   Happy Birthday BiL.

Bonus 2 - 

No. Just No!

It's Like Piccadilly Circus in my Back Garden

 

Why?

Because this weekend I built a scale replica of Piccadilly Circus in my back garden.  A Man needs a hobby.

Obviously it wasn't a full sized replica. It's only 75% scale.

NB: I was trying to figure out the date of this undated, uncommented slide. The location was easy, but the date... well, I think that film advert is for something featuring Spencer Tracy and ??? Sinatra. So, that would be The Devil At 4 O' Clock, from 1962.

Cows doing High-Altitude Training

Before they embark on their annual Mount Everest Milk-Supply Missions, the cows of Belgium carry out six months of training in the High Alps of Austria. Here they are cud-chewing near the Buddist Temple near Innsbruck.

or maybe near Kitzbuhel

Off to my modest cabin for the weekend

Yes, I'm off to my little shack (pictures) to commune with nature, live on Acorn Frittata, hug trees and
dance in the morning dew.

And the evening will be spent, wolfing down Pepperoni Pizzas.

Damn this crappy formatting.

Make Your Own Puppet Character

 

In the days before Internet (or TV, probably) making your own puppet was a popular activity for kids.

Maybe.

This is Mr Flummery, from a home in Tacoma, Washington, and took all of 3 minutes to create. Clearly.

Interesting

Tedious - Plant Edition

 

Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah.  Blah blah blah.

Yadda, yadda yadda

Cosmic Rough Riders - Revolution (In The Summertime?)   live on TOTP

A Guide to Non-Birds - The Crane

 As an Engineer, this sort of stuff- purely mechanical contraptions - fascines me. I remember something like this on the harbour / pier at Cove Bay. That one was wrecked, but this looks OK.

Bonus - Huh.  ShowerDay. :-(

...and turn

The Guys, Just Hanging Out Together

 

Nicholas and Andrew, just goofing around on an Autumn Evening.

Bonus - 

Under The Mulberry Bush

 

When Dorothy found the wicked witch of the North, she just needed to click together the heels of her ruby slippers to return to Kansas.

Bonus - Harsh

Down At The Half-Frame Farm

 

Again, the black border is not a sign of mortality....it is a sign of being a Half-Frame 35mm Slide Format image.

Here, the kids are saying their last good-byes to Sparky, their pony. Spark is heading off to live on another farm.

Allegedly.

Keep At Arms' Length

 It's just a fact of life.  Some babies are just stinky.

Such was the diagnosis for Archibald "Stinky" McGee, which explains the tent in the background.  Who would wish to risk their house with the cabbagey-skunky-ashtray odours of Stinky.  Thankfully, he grew out of the affliction at age 15.

Bonus -  RIP Maggie Smith.  

If a tree grows in the forest...

 

... and doesn't make a sound,   does anyone really think about philosophy?

Enquiring minds, etc.

Bonus- 

Yeah
