Waiting for the Eclipse

 

The big news (comparatively) here in the UK today is the arrival of a Partial Solar Eclipse.

I'm expecting that around 90% totality here at Slide Central.  Iceland and Spain get 100% coverage...another Brexit Bonus (haar haar.)

So, her is Marjorie, ready with her Box Brownie camera, ready to capture the spectacle.

Alas, this slide is from 1953, so she's going to have a long wit.

Bonus - More

Bonus 2 - Eclipse

Sunday - Church and Fur Coats

 

Hi Everyone.

It's Sunday, and time for everyone to put on their Sunday Best clothes (skinned animals if possible), leap into their monstrously large Station Wagons, and head off to hear some parable that gives them reason to look down on the poor and needy.

Bonus - The Red Lipped Batfish

Slide Number 5700

 

That's not to mean that this is the 5700th slide on here, just the one numbered 5700. There have been gaps and miscounts etc.

But here's Robin, with a rather snazzy snow sled. Marked as "Lido in 1956."

Bonus - Donald Trump Photoshopped In Classic Horror Movies

Russell Johnson 19th

 

Alas, that title was the only information on the (out-of-focus) slide.

We will probably never learn who Russell Johnson was, nor what happened on his nineteenth birthday (or on the 19th of the month.)

Bonus - Creative and Educational. A Bristol Stool Scale Birthday cake.

Happy Birthday, Little Ian

 

Come on Blog-o-sphere, let's all celebrate Ian G's birthday. Yes, "Little" Ian is 50 today, and that's why we're having a party today. (Well, he is ...elsewhere.)

Now, I'm making no claims as to whether Ian G or any of his friends and family are featured in the wonderful slide featured here. However, there may be clues in it...

Bonus - Also Happy Birthday today to...Richard Wagner (Bombastic Composer), Arthur Conan Doyle ("Elementary"), Sun Ra (astonishing musician), Ted Kaczynski(Unabomber), Morrisey (annoying twat) and Katie "Jordan" Price (annoying slapper.)

Bonus 2 - Les radis rikikis de Kik 

Smile For The Camera

 

Or don't. I can't force you. It's a free country.

Checking for a suitable slide this morning, this one of an not-so-happy family leapt out at me. May 1964, apparently.

Bonus - Guido da Vigevano’s Art of The Cadaver (1345)

Bonus 2 - Jad Fair & Kramer - I Wanna Make a Movie

Washday Helper

 

Mom's little helper.

Yes, growing up, preparing for a life of domestic drudgery...and smiling through it all.

No wonder that little Katey Clarkson turned into a bed-hopping psycho.

But, more of her story layter.

Bonus - Queen.Queue.Fail  How What3Words was a hindrance during the Queen Queue.

Bonus 2 -
