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 - 

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 

Happy Fathers Day

 

Here, in civilisation, today is Father's Day, so a bit shout out to all great Dad's out there, past and present.

This slide is not my dad, but to that young girl, he's hopefully the Best Dad Ever.

Bonus - What I get Up To At Weekend

An Outbreak of Daffodils

 

April, and we are well into Daffodil Season, so here are the 'dils at High Bank.

Not sure where High Bank is but that's not spoiling my enjoyment.

Bonus - 

Ethel is On The Fence

 

I could make some dodgy comment about DJTrump and his war on Iran...but I'm too classy for that.

Bonus - American Black Bear and Canadian Polar Bear.

 

Under The Watchful Eye of Mother

 

Fun in the Sun for Bertie and Clara.

Bonus - Sorry...in a bit of a rush today.

Before the Riff-Raff arrived...

 

Written on this slide was "Between Lavandou and Canabel-1965"

I'm not going to spend hours tracking down the exact location, but I suspect this might be the location 

Bonus - 

A Walk With Mummy

 

On this slide was writ "1965-Jun-09-Ladum-Bay".

Heck, almost sixty years ago !   And I guess that they mean Ladram Bay.

Chill Out Time

 A sunny evening here at Slide Guy Central, so all the babes are congregating in my garden for Mojito's, cheese and crackers and Mint Juleps.

Nice. Might part-tay later.

Bonus . 

A look of utter disdain

 

I have no idea why Wilbur is so disdainful of Ella's action... but clearly he is annoyed about something.

Bonus -  Normal for Sweden, perhaps.

Bonus 2 - 

The Dance Demo

 

Again, I'm clueless.

The Slide markings said "1965 William E Baskett", but Googling that didn't turn up anything obvious.

Bonus - Germany, apparently

 

The Winter Sun Break

 

After a hectic December, Mrs Claus poses for a photo for he husband Santa. They enjoy the festive period, but really look forward to the four weeks on their private Caribbean Island, snorkelling, sunbathing and crocheting Elf Socks.

Bonus - ‘A small act of patriotism’: Canada’s anti-Maga hats go viral

Bonus 2 - 

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

Is Your Tree Up?

 

I'm doing my decorations, limited tho' they will be, tomorrow.

Back in 1965, I'm sure this aluminium Christmas Tree would have been the height of fashion.

Bonus - Aluminum Christmas Trees and Wiki

Today's Yule Lad - Giljagaur Gully Gawk Hides in gullies, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the cowshed and steal milk.

Giljagaur

Meanwhile, down at the Harbour...

 

I was going to spend some time figuring our where this was.

But, life's too short. 

Bonus - There are 86 billion neurons in your brain

Really makes you think

Beryl in a Bustier with Buster

 No, I don't mean that Buster the Bulldog was in same bustier as Beryl. You're misreading that on purpose.

This is another slide for the Beryl Blood sets of boxes, and I have a suspicion that this is a self-timer self-portrait.

Bonus -  Skydiver Luke Aikins Jumps 25000 Feet Into Net With No Parachute

Dinah in Devon

 

Actually, it might be Cornwall.

Anyway, Dinah seems to be enjoying her holiday in the southwest, and is still favouring the "Bullet Bra" look.

Ryan, filling the Diving Pool

 

There's quite a few pictures of this pool, in various states of empty/fullness.

This one ... is today's.

Sorry,  I'm not very talkative today - Overnight, my right know seems to have decided to experience extreme pain for any motions.

Bonus -  Remember - There was no CGI 81 years ago... 

Meal Out With "The Gang"

 

Yup, this evening is a meal with the gang. Great.

This image above is NOT an image of us, for so many logical reasons, but I know that the blog followers like to see a vaguely relevant image.

Bonus : Swedish Special Forces

A Walk along the Coast

 

August is prime Summer Holiday season, you can tell by the shops having "Back To School" supplies. So, here's a cheery summer slide. The slide was marked "1965-Jun-Ladram-Bay", so that's some info for a change.
