The Astonished Baby

 

That look on the baby's face?  Astonishment, deer in the headlights, or 2I've just pooed my nappy"?

Bonus - The Headline Game

Where In The World Quiz - Number 447

 

It's a tricky one this time.  Is it

A.  Uulan Bator, Outer Mongolia

B. Port Stanley, Falkland Islands

C. Sea of Tranquillity, Moon

D. TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON.

...and if you need a clue, this is it as it looks now.

Bonus - 

The Young Mum

 

A young mum who could be a minor pop star or film actress.

Not really much else to say, really.

Bonus - 

Just Hanging About with Pals

 T'was a bit of a bleached washed out slide, but with a bit of jiggery pokery, it's sort of acceptable.

From Sept 1963, and I remember playground equipment that looked like this. Probably unacceptable to modern Health and Safety.

Bonus - Happy Birthday Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Winter Scene number 529

 

Sorry.

A bit distracted this evening.

So ... some snow.

Bonus :

Where In The World? Quiz 738

 

Yes, it's a tricky one today.

Still, this slide from 1963 does seem to predate the "Hordes of numpties for the cliche'd "Holding it up" " image.

Thank heavens.

Yes, it is  the campanile of Pisa Cathedral.

Bonus - Either a lying bag of shut, or a dementia riddled buffoon.

Have A Creepy Christmas

 

Something went a bit wrong with this slide, including what looks like a fungal attack.

But, it does leave a bit of a creepy image, IMHO.

Bonus - 

A Visit To Santa's House

 

I'm suspicious. Very suspicious.

Santa lives at the North Pole, yet there's no snow on the ground, and the lads aren't exactly dressed for cold weather.

Ah. Proof of Global Warming. Obviously.

Bonus - 

As is Tradition - Sixty Two years on

 ...that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F Kennedy

This, as is tradition, is an image of JFK's temporary grave. 

Bonus - again, predictably, Destroy All Monsters    

Out for a Meal Tonight

 

Yes, tonight The Gang (as opposed to The Gang) , are heading off to The White Hart for a meal and a chat.  Going to be a bit radical, and might to for Starters, followed by Starters, followed be Starters. Because, why noy?

So this slide of a Dinner party seems relevant.  You can tell it's a classy do from having pukka Heinz Ketchup in a bottle on the table.  

Yes, I've used it before.

Bonus - 

Street Scene with Classic Cars

 

Go on, have a guess of where and when.

The think it's 1963, and the Banco Nacional de Fomento in Asuncion, Paraguay.

Nice Building

We've not had many slides from Paraguay.

Bonus - 

Bridge Over Untroubled Water

 

This image shows Windsor Bridge, also known as Windsor Town Bridge, a historic iron and granite arch bridge that spans the River Thames, connecting the towns of Windsor and Eton in Berkshire, England.

Obviously pre-1970, as that was when it was pedestrianised.

And nowadays

Bonus - Sigh

...and Here's One I Made Earlier

 

This one is in honour of a work colleague Richard, who returned to work today, after Paternity Leave for the arrival of Toby.

This isn't Toby, nor is it Chloe. It's a random Mother and child from the past.

I'm digging those curtains, dudes.

Bonus : 

Fashion Notes from Sept 1963

Currently in for teenage girls are

• Pale Pink
• Vaguely Chinese inspired
• Ummm..... Pyjamas???

Whatever.

Bonus : Firefighters eat sausages made of piglets they saved from blaze.  Out of the fire, into the frying pan.

 

An Italian Getaway

 

From the Beryl Blood selection of slides, this is from Box 10 - Italy.

No date, or location, but from the fashion .... and the ridonculous sun hat... I'm guessing early 1960s.

As for location - I think Portifino. It hasn't changed much. 

Bonus - Scientists Identify Fungus Turning Spiders Into “Zombies” in Northern Ireland

From up here you can almost see Common Sense

 

I don't want to let this Slide Blog degenerate into a Pro- vs Anti- Trump argument, but...  The Zelensky in the White House farce.  FFS.   I "know" that Putin has incriminating info/pictures/videos of Donny Boy, but does DJT need to make it so obvious that he's shilling for Russia?

Sheesh.

This slide, on the other hand, is labelled  "8-11to16 1963 Palouse Valley from Steptoe Butte near Colefax, Wash." 

Streetview

Bonus - 

A Bunch of Hefferlumps

 

Bunch Of Arse

And a large pile of Poo.

Nice.

Bonus - Oh no you don't

Geoff and Jennifer

 

Yes, Geoff does have a massive forehead.

Slide info - said "Geoff and Jennifer 4-9-63"

Bonus - 

One For The Ladies

 

This is Jeffery. 

He's 37 years old, divorced, and looking someone who's make him feel special.

WLTM someone in the Wilmington Area, ideally living in 1963.

Big Norks would be an advantage.

Bonus - I've just invented a new word. Plagiarism. 

Bonus 2 - 

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.
