July Round Up

  Please bear with us; we just have a few photos from some of mid-late July's daydrifts to dump here on the blog, then in the next post, we'll be travelling* to Egypt!

This is what the End of the Line looks like when the tide's in
(and, yes, I did get wet getting up there)

As I couldn't really go past the End of the Line without getting more wet, I decided to sit down...

Classic British Summertime

  It is nearly the height of summer here in Britland, so why don't we take a look at a typical summer's day - i.e. today:

Tin Four, Rubber Duck!

 After much prodding and needling-
  "Much"?!?
 Well, some, then. 
  Savvy brought it up and Ms Scarlet may have mentioned it in passing - I'd hardly call that prodding and needling. Not even a modicum thereof!
 Oh, OK! After a gentle enquiry and a passing mention, we have decided to hold another Tin Foil Hat Competition. (You're particularly mardy this evening.) Our fourth, in fact. So, what better theme than one of "Four".  
  Christ! That's lazy theme-thinking-of. And I'm not bloody mardy!
 Really? Look, why don't you bugger off and decide what you're going to do for this month's Star Trek Art Challenge before it's too late? All that procrastinating has left you in a vile mood. I need to get on with this before we lose the audience.
  Fine! 

 Right. Now that the Host is otherwise occupied, let's get on with this shall we?

Welcome to...

The 2017 Tin Foil Hat Competition!

Prelude to a Hat...

Death on the Beach

 No, not my death (again). 
  Although we would forgive you for thinking it as we haven't been around much lately.
 Death. You know, tall chap, on the gaunt side, wears black and carries a scythe? Well, anyway, him.
 As it happens, I haven't actually seen him down on the beach myself as he's not really one for sunbathing, but is very good at skinny-dipping- 

Emaciated-dipping, more like!

 Well, yes, but I know he's been around lately - and not from coming across his rather distinctive footprints in the sand - rather coming across other evidence.
  But before we get to the macabre, lets have some triffids and such:

It's A Faaaake! Not The Art Of Star Trek - Foreign Relations

  You can blame The Very Mistress MJ for this Star Trek-related post.
 And that we have all these photos of cardboard cut-out Trek aliens on the beach from June's Art Challenge...
  Well, yes, but The Very Mistress made the egregious error of assuming that just because I like Star Trek, I must also like Star Wars.

I don't think she even knows the difference!  

Even I know, and I'm the SubConscious of a witch born hundreds of years ago!

  Quite. So, as punishment, The Very Mistress must wade through this post full of very similar photos of Star Trek aliens having some summer fun and showing the love on Overstrand beach.
  But, before we get to the photos, here is the challenge as set by the winner of the May Art Challenge:

So being that it is June and the summer is here, lets see your best Trek summer creations, it's all about the fun of summer, camping, swimming, all recreation, so either turn a shuttle into an air stream camper, or summer surfing on Risa, but ya gotta use a summer theme, even a cruise liner... ::Ahem:: lol*

The only rules are no battle scenes, no war ships.. It's summertime lets show the love!

* The challenge setter's entry for June's challenge is a space cruise liner!

Showing the love, indeed. They're not going to kiss, are they?  Are they?!?

Ew! Gross!

Awwwww... They're in love (vom)
