Happy Birthday to my favourite gal, Mel.

Bonus - Today is also the birthday of Salma Hayek, another hot and sexy lady, and Keir Starmer, who isn't.

A Reflective Moment

 

Quite a nice "found" image.

Slide says 1955 "Mirror Lake", so it could be Yosemite 

Bonus - So...blogging seems like a bit of a chore at the moment. May be time for a break.

Summer Swing

 

Now THAT is a swing!

As a kid, we had a single seat swing in the back garden, so THAT seems a bit OTT.

Bonus - 

Is It Baseball Season ?

 

I know that NFL / American Football (a.k.a. Hand Egg) is starting soon, but Baseball / Rounders.... I dunno.

Bonus - News that you did not need.

Bonus 2 - "I don't like my neighbour. Each night I walked my dog down our street, I paused outside their house and turned their TV off through their front window with our spare universal remote. One afternoon I came home to find their TV out by the bins. We now have a new bedroom TV"

It's .... ... The Drama Llama

Where In The World? - Game 78

 

Today's challenge comes in from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales, who asks if anyone can recognise this location?   Is it

1. The Upper Circle of the Shepton Mallet Odeon?
2. The geyser Geysir in Iceland?
3. The Pyramids at Gaza?
4. The remodelled Rose Garden at The White House?

Answers on a postcard to the usual address.

Bonus - RIP Dolly.

(House ... Side ... Maud)

A Sunday Out at the Park

Sunday Afternoon.

Great for just lazing about. Great for heading off to the park, and riding the open wagons on the miniature railway.

Great.

Bonus - from One to One Hundred

 

Cascade

Finally, England's hot spell has broken, and we have rain.  It seems strange for England to welcome the rain, but ... weird time.

I don't think this image of a recent English mountain stream, because a/ England has no mountains, b/ the image dates to 1984, and c/ AI Suggests 

"The image shows the cascading waters of the Canaima National Park region in Venezuela, featuring powerful tea-colored rapids rushing over dark rock formations with distant tabletop tepui mountains on the horizon.

Location: Canaima National Park, La Gran Sabana, Venezuela.

Key Features: Rushing amber-tinted river waters, layered stone terraces, and distinctive flat-topped tepui mountain formations in the background. "

Bonus - Cats in Sinks

 

The Beach Scene

At work today (Yes, I still work), the place seemed empty with so many folk slacking off, on holiday in X, Y and Z. 

Fine, suits me.

So, here's a nice beach scene to make you think of holidays, sand fleas, and noisy Magyars shouting at each other.

No idea where this is, but it's probably not Iceland.

Bonus - Lose Yourself
 

Blessed Are The Cheesemakers

 

They just have a whey with curds.

Bonus - Ah .... Memories
