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.

Bonus - 

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.

Bonus - 

Happy Birthday America

Congratulations

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.

Les Travelleurs

 

The blue beret's give these dudes a definite Gallic Flare.

Bonus - 

Chilling in the back garden

 

Yes, the heatwave continues.

Today, Pub Lunch with chums, then back garden (shady spot) for relaxation

Bonus - Too Hot

Cheers!

 

Another stinking hot day.

Another week at work completed.

Time for a chilled glass of something.

Cheers.

Phew, What a Scorcher

 

Yes, I said it.

The UK has just had its hottest ever June day, for the second day in a row.  A provisional temperature of 36.7C has been recorded in Merryfield, Somerset - making it a new record temperature for June in England  Locally, temperatures above 33°C were seen here in Slideville.

So, like these folks from 1970's America, I hop you all have a shady park to go and rest in.

Bonus - 

Graduated with a PhD in Misery

 

June is Graduation Season, so this slide for sixty-ish years ago seems appropriate.

I'm guessing that Hank (he looks like a Hank) is annoyed be something. Maybe only getting a 2.2. Maybe having to wear dark blue in the baking sunshine. Maybe his bow tiie no longer spins.

But...he's not happy.

Bonus - Whales in the Egyptian Desert?

Roadworks Ahead

 

Today's Tedious Tuesday slide is from 1968, and seems to be from China. And it's of roadworks, with a wooden bridge.

Why someone would photograph that....your guess is as good as mine.

EDIT - AI says "

This scene likely depicts a street in Vietnam, potentially Cholon or Danang, during the late 1960s.

The image features significant construction activity, including exposed rebar for what appears to be a bridge or drainage project.

The surrounding area shows traditional wooden structures and traffic typical of the era."

Baby in Fresh Air

 As the UK heads towards "Phew, What A Scorcher" territory, let's turn back to 1966 and a wee babby enjoying the fresh air.
