A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.
A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”
Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…
“I don’t believe in building libraries or museums.”
Still one of my favourite stories 🤣🤣🫡

Duval, in full priest garb, swinging in an SF park next to a child.
my favorite Robert Duvall role is where he appears as a priest on a swing for 2 seconds for no apparent reason in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

John Le Mesurier
Earth Wind & Fire
One of my favourite little pop culture facts is that John Le Mesurier was a massive fan of Earth Wind & Fire and would often unwind by listening to them whilst smoking a massive joint.
I saw the above while accompanying my boyfriend to a hospital appointment. Also present was a cardboard cut-out that unfortunately does make it look like the waiting room is haunted by the ghost of Florence Nightingale
Always loved how the sign in the Acorn Antiques production office is hanging in front of a framed photo of Ian Botham for NO REASON.
I love the fact that the wardrobe Sid and Bernie used for this film was the same that James Bond used in OHMSS, filmed in Pinewood around the same time.
My kid is well into the Great Fire of London so I’m just checking out some facts… and if you ever suffer from imposter syndrome or a fear of screwing up at work, check out the confidence of this guy.
