They've been my life, from childhood to my Fan Club days to Apple Studio p/t receptionist, and everything after. I am forever thankful for The Beatles.
How appropriate "Anthology 2025" film/music premiers this U.S. Thanksgiving week. ♥️

Gorgeous fella. Send him best wishes from a dog breed that actually loves cats.

Preoccupied re-watching "Get Back" sparked by Anthology 4 tracks. My Mom was ill when the epic film premiered on Disney so I didn't watch it properly.
Came across a mention of dear @maryhopkin.bsky.social, Paul briefly discussing the marketing and launch of her first Apple LP, Post Card. 😊

You certainly lived in a great location, fabulous home.
As a native Virginian, I loved the pre-show sponsor piece for Monticello, referring to the Declaration of Independence: "Our Guy Wrote It." My kind of tag line! The Monticello shop is even selling the t-shirt!

Hmmm . . . Inspiration for that Tv scene in "101 Dalmatians"?

Ahhh... Always wanted a "Martha" OES but they were too large for rentals when I was just starting out. I opted for Beardies, all with Beatle-related names. Here's my current and 4th girl, Abbey. 😉

On this date in 1982, punk rocker Henry Mallet joined the hapless seamen and ocean travelers in Davy Jones' Locker, amidst the depths of Sydney Harbour.
Long live the ghost of Henry Mallet! (We ♥️ ya, Matt!)

I decorate my kitchen with the empty Linda Mc boxes I bring back from my UK trips. LOVE Linda's veggie sausage rolls the best. If only these foods were sold in the U.S. 😔

I love my very old "Beatles 'Round the World" magazine that showcased their Sweden tour. The colour registration / print job was AWFUL, and it was sooo expensive ("50 cents!!" my Mom complained!!) but it was my first Beatle magazine, before I even owned a record, I think....

I'm going to venture a guess that the Mystery Guest was one of the guys in the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

This will have to do ya. The original postcard graced every office in every job I ever had. No tea cup visible but no doubt waiting in the wings (😉). ☕️🫖
