Secondhand booty: a 1972 effort from Book Club Associates 😫. Check out the swashtastic Bookman font on the cover! “It’s like, how much more 1972 could this be? And the answer is none. None more 1972”. Anyway looking at, er, bijou items like this, it’s clear that punk was inevitable. Next week on The South Bank Show…

One of the best things about May is making elderflower cordial, a delicious and refreshing drink that strengthens the mind by forcing one to block out the thought that there’s probably over a dozen insects in every gulp. #nopesticides #garden #gardening #elder #eldertree #elderflower #elderflowercordial #bbcgoodfood #drink #summerdrink #homecooking #diy #selfsufficiency #digforvictory #lemon #mind #mindpower (at London, United Kingdom)

Caution: this logo may induce eye-freakouts and brain-frazzlery. Goodness knows how the diners must have felt clocking this on their menus while ordering.

Found in a theatre programme from the 1960s kindly donated by @oliverwoodsphoto - Maggie Smith and Kenneth Williams on the same bill? Where’s my time machine! (Honorable mention to Ralph Richardson also for whatever he was doing further down the page).

A groovy little gem discovered at @tate Britain last week. The Drury Lane Arts Lab was where David Bowie used to brush up his mime act and John Lennon and Yoko Ono exhibited their first collaborative artwork. It’s probably a chippy now.
