To celebrate the Queen's birthday back in April...

...the BBC posted 90 images of her life.

They're definitely worth seeing. Even if you don't like or don't admire the lady herself, there's the change in fashions, the styles of photography, or the sheer fascination of seeing someone age from newly born to 90 in the space of one page.

Are you a stationery addict?

The BBC has an article about why stationery is still being bought.

Quote:
Lisa Rutherford, buying manager at John Lewis, agrees that stationery is a "fashion accessory" these days...

And, she adds, you don't need to feel guilty about spending the money because stationery is useful. It's a virtuous purchase.

Ha! See? *pats stack of notebooks and beams proudly*
