End of the Week.

 

Time to change out of that office sui, and find a small cafe-bar for some beer.

If my eye is correct, this photo depicts the historic Palais de l'Isle, a unique 12th-century building situated on an island in the Thiou river in Annecy, France. The structure has served multiple purposes throughout history, including as a prison, courthouse, and administrative headquarters, and currently operates as a local history museum. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the old town of Annecy, often referred to as the "Venice of the Alps" due to its canals and river. Today

Or maybe it's Conway in Wales.

"Hello Monty!"

Nope.

Ken and his Ladies

 

Ken Worthing had a bit of a reputation as "A Ladies' Man", and this slide helps prove the legend.

Not only Foxy Fiona and Luscious Louise, but the photo was taken by Busty Babs. No wonder Ken was banned from every Woolworths' store in Cornwall.

Spirit of 76

 

With this being the USA's Two Hundred and Fiftieth Birthday year, maybe I should have featured this on July 4th.

But, what a bit of boring trash memorabilia. 

Nope.

Messing About in Boats

 

Here in the You-Kay, Summer has been blighted by high temperatures and limited rain, so this slide is of a scene that might be difficult to recreate.

Living Life To The Max

 

Another sunny day here in Derbyshire.

Perfect for a trip to the farm, in what looks like a Bitchin' shirt.

Bonus - For those, like me, who prefer chillier weather.

I'm Back - At The Beach

 

Yes. I'm back posting slides. Again.

I have been deficient in the past month, due to a crisis on my home planet, which is now sorted...and because.... fatigue.

So, let's welcome in August with an exciting new Holiday Beach Visit slide.

I'm guessing early 1970's but ....wherever.

This Is The Way

 

Today's Tedious Tuesday is a goody. Some repainted traffic guidance, from 1965.

And that's it.

Why did some take this image?

Bonus - I may be not posting for a while...

Bonus 2 - Things were better in the old days. Maybe

"Not Suitable For Sleep-Walkers"

 

This image depicts the Monastery of Great Meteoron, the largest and oldest of the six active monasteries in Meteora, Greece.

Situated over 415 meters (1,362 ft) above the Pineios valley floor, it was founded in 1356 by Athanasius the Meteorite.

The complex is part of the Meteora UNESCO World Heritage Site, originally built on towering rock pillars accessible only by ropes or ladders.

Or maybe it's Spalding in Lincolnshire.
