Harry The Potter

 

Mr Harry Langdykes, chief vase thrower at the matlock and Repton Pottery Company, in action.

Definitely not a clickbait blog title to ail it's dwindling numbers.

Fashion Shoot or Documentary?


 I really like this image.

It could be a documentary shot by a photo-journalist reporting on the whelk farming families of Vermont.

It could be a fashion shoot for the LLBean catalogue of 1959.

It's just ... great.

Lloyd at 1107

 

I know that today is Tedious Tuesday, but today's slide is actually doubly interesting.

  • The slide mount may be the standard 2inch square size, but the image was larger than the normal 35mm size.
  • The slide image is of Lloyd Prentice, the only Mortician in Kansas City to have pet penguin. (Charlie the Adelie penguin.)

So, not very interesting.

Hanging Around with The Guys

 

Spring is basically here.

Time to meet up with the guys, sit around a table, drink beer, discuss politics, and stare at a Jar of Mustard.

Good Times.

Old Man Gribble



Those eyes.

Those eyes have seen things.   Good things ... evil things ....   strange things.

But they've never seen things as f****ed up as Brexit.
