At the end of the Day

 I've always liked this slide, tho' I'm not certain if its good photography or bad photography. The colours suggest evening, tho' it could be sunrise,

Bonus - The Horse Magnifier Game

In The High Sierra

 

Unsurprisingly, there's no info on this slide, other than a Feb 1979 processing date. But, it looks hot n high to me.

The dreaded AI suggests "The image features Washingtonia filifera, commonly known as the California fan palm or desert fan palm, with snow-capped mountains in the background. "

Which is amazing, because I went to university with a guy called Washington Filifer. I wonder if they're related?

The Pensive Model

 So Gallery 208 was a collection of scenic pictures from some sort of world tour in the early Seventies, when...

POW!

There's this pensive your lady.

Strange, no?

Bonus - 

,,,at the end of the working week.

 

Ah.

Friday.

Friday afternoon.

A chance to relax with a coffee and a carafe of chilled Cabernet Sauvignon.

Bonus.

Four million pounds of thrust, and no OFF switch.

Mandy and Keith On Holiday

 

Mandy Fothergill (46, Former Undertaker's Hole-Plugger and Part-Time Topless Barmaid) and Keith Fothergill (55, Apprentice Florist) enjoy a moment on the veranda, while on their romantic tour of Schleswig Holstein.

The book at the front - Der Grosse Shell Atlas - was a gift from the local chip shop. Apparently. 

Bonus - Tim Brooke Taylor, John Cleese, Marty Feldman, Graham Chapman desperately attempt to avoid corpsing completely.

They Might Be Triffids

 

Norman, my gardener, reckons that they are examples of Trussler's Stinkhorn, but I'm not convinced. They look like Triffids, waiting for the right time to murderous assault on humans.

And that is Mrs Edna Crumweevil, or Norwich posing beside one.

Bonus - Anyone fancy Kermit The Frog singing Once In A Lifetime?

 Same as it ever was.

The Mansion on the Mound

 

Lady Samantha "Nibsy" Nibblewick, showing her friends around "The State", showing the best view of her new mansion.

Alas, two weeks later, the earthen mound that it was built upon was washed away. Three days before the home insurance policy came into effect. Such a shame.

But .... Nibsy?  Phwoar !

Bonus - Last Night - Teenage Fanclub at Rock City.  Excellent.

Cherry Blossom Moment

 

Yes, I know.

Two consecutive beautiful scenery slides, and a complete lack of "Funny Looking Kids". Well, It's my blog, and there are few other blog visitors. Yes, it's true, I have less that 500,000 visitors a day. (Far less)

Bonus - But, Today is Dancing Cow Day

Bonus 2 - Two scientists walk into a bar. The bartender asks what they would like to drink. The first scientist says “I’ll have a glass of H2O please.”

The second scientist says “I’ll have H2O too.”

The second scientist dies.

The Beautiful Land of "Finks"

 

That's a most pleasant slide today, but the only information on it was the word "Finks".

Wherever Finks is, it looks like a great place to live.

Bonus : The Novel That (Seemingly) Predicted the 'Titanic' Disaster

Bonus 2 : Last Night : Teenage Fanclub at The Leadmill.

Look To The Heavens

 

I normally avoid posting many pictures of "fascinating churches we found on our holiday" or "this was the stately home a mile from our hotel".

This image, well, OK. It's rather special.

It's the Nave roof, in Ely Cathedral. The cathedral has its origins in AD 672 when St Etheldreda built an abbey church. The present building dates back to 1083, and it was granted cathedral status in 1109. Until the Reformation it was the Church of St Etheldreda and St Peter, at which point it was refounded as the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Ely.

Bonus - Things you never knew that you would enjoy watching. Indian? Tribal People Try Cheesecake for the First Time.

Marvin and Marcie Travelling The World

 

Sorry.   I'm a bit preoccupied today.

Saint Harvey of Flintshire

 

With today being Comic Relief - Red Nose Day 2021, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate Saint Harvey of Flintshire, that man generally accepted as being the inventor of the "Knock Knock" joke.

He lived in the 9th Century, and attempted to convert the people of Flintshuire to Catholicism through the use of parables, good deeds, miracle (basically card tricks) and .... jokes.

Alas, after a particularly badly-time "The Baron is so stupid" joke, he was eviscerated and died on stage. Literally.

Bonus - Casu marzu: The world's 'most dangerous' cheese

Tedious? You want a tedious slide?

 

You got it

I suspect that this slide was shot here, but ... who knows?

Bonus - You wouldn't want to mess with the FV4005 Stage 2 Tank Destroyer

Lighthouse without a Light

 

...and on this slide was written the single, cryptic word :

Ipswich

Perhaps the wisdom of the internet could fathom it's true meaning.
