Happy Valentine's Day

 

Whether you are starry eyes young teens, or grizzled old prunes, have a great day.

Here, Edgar and Molly spend their 60th St Valentines Day together, revisiting the dockside when Molly worked, and Edgar found out that she could do .... that .... thing.... with he tongue.... just like his mother used to do.

Ahhh. Memories.

Bonus - 

Valentine's Day ???

Longing for Escape

 

Good News, Everybody.

This slide has some info on it. 

"Devon 1971 Ware's House"

Not much, but enough. Would any reader like to take on the challenge of GeoLocating this exact location??

Bonus. Just when you thought that (prospective)  politicians couldn't shock you any more....Jonty Campbell

Bonus 2 - Local Newspapers' Headlines - always good for boggling of the mind. Derby man freezes dead owl in row with property developer

USS Dwight D Eisenhower CVN-69

 

Hurrah !    A slide with some information on it.

USS Dwight D Eisenhower CVN-69

(Which I could have guessed)

Mayport 1978

So... there you have it.

Bonus -  What?  You want more information on The Ike, Mayport, Gangplanks or 1978?

Bonus 2 - Quiz.   Which country covers the most timezones ?   Answer here

Rouge

 

Again, the slide has very little in the way of clues - just the handwritten word "Rouge".  So, my guess is Baton Rouge, in Louisiana, which might mean that that water is in fact the mighty Mississippi River.

But, then again, it could be Russina Military Camp No 47 - NATO CodeName "Rouge".

I dunna, and from the look of the place, I shouldn't care.

Bonus - 

From 2017 or earlier...

Lights ... Camera ... Clapperboard ... Ac

Docklands

Today's Tedious Tuesday slide is possibly interesting.

This slide was in a box of others (gasp) but the only other square format slides were of London and the Thames.

So, I deduce that this scene might be of .... London Docklands, before the financial zone regeneration thing.

But I might be wrong.

Debbie, Down at The Docks

No.   She's not "working the docks", you smutty minded individual. She's on holiday.

Bonus - Apparently, Peeps are a sugar-rich confectionery for kids. They're also the raw material for a rather off art exhibit.
