Stripey Walls

 

It may be Christmassy Slide season, but we can't ignore Tedious Tuesday.

It's a tricky juggling act.

So, here's a very tedious subject - a view of an empty bedroom, with two single beds, and a chair.

However....what decorating panache. It takes skill to combine multicolour stripes and lime green dressing table.

Alas...

Bonus - 

This is how life was

 

...in the aspirational homes of the mid sixties.

What's interesting (amongst so many thoughts) is the TV Dinner tray and stand, but no TV. Weird.

Bank Holiday Event for Osbert and Mavis

 

Yes, they've finally done it. After a couple of years of friendship, and one disappointing knee-trembler behind Adkinson's Butchers, Bert and Mave have done it.

They've announced their engagement.

Nice.

In The Days Before Gameboys....

...there were hours of entertainment in an empty brown paper bag.  And Food Fair bags were the bestest.

More intriguing, in the background. That mysterious object.

I suspect it's some stacking set of TV Dinner trays. Classy. I bet that modern hipsters would pay hundreds for those.

Bonus - What is the most dangerous drug?

An Earnest Conversation.

Probably some sisterly character-assassination.

It's Curtains for George

This is why I call in Tedious Tuesday.

A slide of .... A Pair of Curtains (Drawn.)

Wow.

Welcome to Retroville

I have to admit that I do quite like Retro Style. Furniture, fashions and food from the fifties and sixties.

And there are quite a few likeable items in this shot. The upright lights, for example, cool and almost trendy.

Painted brick wall ... not so much.

Bonus - TypeSet in the Future - Dedicated to fonts in Sci-Fi.

Willie in his Onesie

A dedicated leader of fashion, young William shows the world what the creme de la creme will be wearing next season.

Tho' quite what the draylon furniture monstrosity is, is anyone's guess.

Bonus -For those who have missed it, the rather good Burn The Witch

Bonus 2 - Have some fluff

Dr Smith unpacking Aug 1963

This is the note written on the slide. Who this Dr Smith is, and why he is unpacking is unknown.

However, the book shelf does have a copy of "The Naked Lunch", so he may not be entirely wholesome.

Bonus - The Obligatory Easter Monday image

Curtains for The Slide Guy

No !   No, I'm not giving up the blog.

Despite an avalanche of emails from Mrs Trellis of North Wales, I won't devote my life to something more worthwhile.

The blog post title merely alludes to this marvellously tedious slide.

High Tea

An early member of the dangerous sports club, little Eric is risking life, limb and finger in "The O'Driscoll Collapsible Convertible High-Chair of Doom."

But, as per the posting title, I wonder why the "High Tea" has fallen out of favour.

Bonus -
All the Apollo Mission Photographs. (All fake. Obviously.)

Hot !

I guess I'm not the only one suffering from the heat. This here gal is in full shorts and t-shirt, electric fan crash-out mode.

None of which is helped by the interest of two furry woofers.

Bonus - Enjoy The Ride on the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster.

The Time Of The Snows

If you're like me, you'll have recognised this prose as a part of Yasunari Kawabata's Nobel Prize in Literature 1968 Lecture.

And it continues this week's theme of furniture and decoration.

So, that's nice.

The Buffet Table

Well, after yesterday's overwhelming response to a furniture slide, I thought I'd try to score some easy points again, on a similar theme.

An oriental buffet table.



Oh Well....

Not Shaker Furniture.

So I was lying in bed last night, scratching my elbow, when a voice boomed from the bathroom.

"You don't post many pictures of furniture, do you"

"That's right, Your Majesty" I replied. "People just don't photograph furniture, in my humble opinion."

"Well it simply isn't good enough. Post whatever you can find. And bring me a Brillo Pad" said She-Who-Must...

"Okely, dokely" I replied, while bnreaking wind, In stereo.

So here it is.

Bonus - Fly-By Eclipse   (Awsome)

Miss Tillman

 There's no denying it.   That's Miss Tillman on the right of the three.

But what about that fabulous bit of furniture on the right?  Drinks cabinet or Mono-Speaker radio?  Don't know, but I want it.

A Collection of Crud

This slide was probably the first slide from the first box of "Other People Slides" I ever bought.

Tedious, isn't it?

But what a collection of crap.
