The link to my late father's photos is here: http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k169/lexin0/Dads%20photos/

There are about 25 or so, and I think the wild array of colours is as a result of the way that time has affected the dyes on the original slides. A lot of people who bought the slide scanner, according to their comments on Amazon, had trouble with the slides turning out blue. I have a bit of that with some of them, but not on all.

Now, my late father simply bought the best film he could afford, and had it done by the best place he could afford - but that varied because he was a badly paid teacher. So the slides come from all over the place. Plus, they're from a wide span of time - some are very old, some comparatively new, where "comparatively" has the extra meaning of "at least 30 years old."

Anyway. Lots of pictures of Scotland, plus some of people.

ETA: I added some more. Quality is very variable.

Post of pic

See this picture?



The lady in the pink suit is my Aunt Ursula, my mother's sister. The woman behind her in blue is my mother, the Aged P, but before she was aged. The miscreant in the Afghan coat is me. I don't know who the others are. I must be about 15 in this picture, because that's when I owned that coat.

Now, I have a persistent memory that I was a fat child, fat teenager and have always been fat. This turns out, very strangely to me, not to have been the case.

I mean, I'm not skinny by any manner of means, but I'm not fat.

The Aged P. hated that coat with a firey hatred. She made me keep it in a separate cupboard from the rest of the family coats because it smelled really strongly of dead goat.

Note: the picture is back to front. The slides I'm working from aren't marked.
