Graduation Day

 

Oh Happy Day !

Bonus - 

Obviously

Debbie, Leaving College For The Last Time.

 

Having avoided hard work for five years, she now has to find a use for her Masters Degree in Floral Arranging.

Bonus - 

The Ladies of the Church Picnic

 

That hardly seems a fitting title for Miss Cruikshank, Mrs Hardiman and Mrs Fluffer (Or Mary, Madge and Flo to their friends). 

Single-handedly, they organise the St. Bobert the Wise Church Summer Picnic, then spend the day silently judging you.

Bonus - The Circle Of Life

Another " The Staff Were Great" slide

 

Coincidentally, one of the boxes I checked for Monday's slide also had a "Hotel Staff" slide.

And very nice she looks too.

Bonus - Teuchter Funk, by Guy Roch MC.  Yes, Aberdeen patois, Doric Hip-Hop.

Bonus 2 - 

Nice

Chief Sandwich Makers

 

Every church picnic needs sandwiches, and in Ogdenville, that means Hetty, Betty and Liselle.

• Hetty specialises in Egg and Cress,
• Betty specialises in Chicken Mayo, with Bacon
• Liselle specialises in Bratwurst and Sauerkraut.

Lovely.

Bonus - Some Scots can't say "purple burglar alarm"

Whacked Out on Smack

 

Yes, only the fourth of January, and already Marjory is "Comfortably Numb".

What a lush.

Bonus - Is it too early for "2023's Newspaper Headline Of The Year"?

New Year's Eve fireworks cancelled due to ‘masturbating’ walrus

Ingrid and George

 

No other info.

Just ... Ingrid.   And George.

Viewing the scenery.

Bonus - Relaxation and Meditation

Bonus 2 - Today sees the arrival of Sheep-Cote Clod

Bagpipes and Gravel

 

I thought I'd be a little verbose, and in response to (almost zero) requests, give an outline of how I research slide locations.

Today's slide was a card-mounted slide, with no makers markings - so it may be that the photographer mounted his own slides. However, the quality makes me think Kodachrome, so... not much dating / location options there.

Written on the slide was "Our Official Greeters in Victoria", so at least I have a city/village. But, there are many "Victoria" locations across the world. The pipers, and the look of the vehicles made me think Canada. And the building in the background - I'm guessing that's "Sand & Gravel".

So, a quick Google for Canada, 1929, Victoria and Sand & Gravel turns up a few options... and "Producers Sand & Gravel Co. (1929) Ltd. of 900 Wharf Street, Victoria, Vancouver Island" looks like a positive hit. And an address ( Yay!).  A check of Google Streetview is ... disappointing.  Looks like there's been a lot of redevelopment over the years, and nothing looks like our building. It does show that the location is very close to the harbour and the sea-plane terminals.

One other link, the sign beside the bagpipers seems to say "Black Ball Line", and Googling reveals that the Black Ball Line is/was a shipping company, who have had operations between Victoria BC and Washington state, USA. So, that links in.

When ?  What sort of cars?   Heck, I can't do everything. The vehicles seems late 1950s / early 1960s to me (not an expert) and that ties in with Black Ball Line, but ... Don't Know. Any help from you readers? 

Bonus - 'Artificial Blowhole' Generates Wave Energy 

Helen, The Flasher

 The only info on this slide was "Helen 1-11-53", but I have it on good authority (my imagination) that Helen is sexually promiscuous, and is shown here ready to go out for a night of flashing at passing cars.

Yes, naked under her warm woolen coat, she will stop on a pedestrian crossing, turn to the waiting vehicle, open her coat and display her saggy milkers to the astonished driver.

Maybe.

Bonus - Smooth Moves
