  1. These seven Colorado concert flyers — mostly from the 1940s (one from the 1930s) — somehow ended up at Bell Pawn in Bismarck, North Dakota, and then ended up with me because they’re neat and that’s the way things should be.

  2. For #ThrowBackThursday here's a photo from my wife's side of the family simply labelled "Sam and colleagues". I don't know who Sam is but I love the photo and the bus is interesting. Browns Blue was a Leicestershire-based bus company that operated from 1924 to 1963. The apostrophe in the bus company logo here dates this to before 1954.

  3. Had a comment left on my site where I have some scans of photos taken by my grandad when he was stationed out in Singapore during and after World War II. I hadn't realised until the comment pointed it out that he was clearly there when Indian Nationalist leader Nehru came to visit and inspect the troops, making this 1946.

  4. For #ThrowbackThursday here's my wife's grandad on the left with three of his army mates during World War II in what looks like a clear-up operation after a bombing raid in the city. They seem happy enough, though.

  5. @therealahall I’m pretty good at doing my back in while loading/unloading the dishwasher #forties

  6. In the 1940s and 1950s, Ford wouldn’t allow TV programmes they sponsored to feature any shots of their cars, in case viewers didn’t like them.

  7. Eleven down, one to go. These were probably easier to find in 1954.

    I think my favorite section in this Joe Bonomo “How to Become Lovelier After Forty” handy pocket manual is “Love Still Lingers On”.

  8. When you’re in your 40s, it’s totally normal to aspirate your own saliva at least once a day, right? #forties

  9. Welcome to 40.
    It is now a fine line between liver strength... and liver spots.
