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

Family Party 26-12-63

 

And written on this slide was just "Family Party 26-12-63".

Fascinating to see just how minimal the Christmas Decorations / Card / Symbols are in this household. I could speculate why... but that would achieve little.

Bonus - Mmmmm Cheese sandwich.

First Friday - PAR-TAY!!!

 

From sixty years ago, and a different party entirely.

First Friday is a tradition for the accounts department of Frisson, Mulgrew and Henderson, and we see them going wild...but still wearing their ties.

Bonus - Year Progress Tracker

After the Party...

 

...The Tidy-Up.

First day back at work ... gosh, that was fun. ("Not!")

Bonus - The year 46 BC lasted for 445 days.

Bonus 2 - 

Management !!

Another Orbit of The Sun

 

Happy New Year.

May 2025 not be the shitshow that we all fear...

Bonus : 

An Extra Large Tea-Towel

 Last Day of 2024 AND a Tedious Tuesday. What a challenge to find a suitably appropriate image.

Perhaps this one is suitable .

Bonus - For your next car, make sure it has a Trunk Monkey.

End of 2024 Bonus - 

Oh, Hell Yeah.

Fruit Meringue as Headwear

 

So, apparently, in the remote Watzachapl Region of Peru, it's is the fashion for mothers to bake meringues and fill them with fruits and berries for their daughters to were on the Fest Day of Saint Celia.

Who Knew?

Bonus - 

Time for a Bracing Walk

 

After the excesses of Christmas, what could be better that a bracing walk in the countryside.

In this case, it would appear to be in Timbuktu.

Bonus - 

Libby and Gustaf's Christmas

 

Libby does seem to be in shock, so maybe she was a bad girl and wasn't expecting a Bride Brenda doll. Gustaf, seems to know a lot more about what's happening.

Bonus - 

"I'm Dreaming Of A White (Goods) Christmas"

 

An undated slide, but probably early 1960s. I guess that this is what little suburban future-housewife girls really wanted for Christmas. 

Yikes.

Bonus - 

Mrs Consumer, Christmas 1956

 

The Christmas Selection Continues

...and I love this slide. The snugness of this suburban wife, the fake aluminium christmas tree, the copy of Consumer magazine, and the crowning glory - The opened present of a French Fry Cutter. Pure Suburbia.

Don't ignore the mysterious lurking bloke on the right, ready to give Mrs Consumer the Christmas Gift she really craves tonight. Curses.

Bonus - Super Snowflake maker
