Those were the days. Sort of. 🤔 (Not really, in many respects.)

A Boots C15 cassette tape "backup" of the ZX Spectrum Maziacs game, on a grey background. In the foreground is the tape itself, with the box in the background. Both make use of a yellow and black colour scheme with red as a highlight.

Little Pip is now fifteen entire weeks old. (Clearly a tiring age.)

That thing where you create a life-sized model of a mascot for a non-existent entity known as the Lymph Marketing Board, an organisation aesthetically and mentally mired in the seventies, with the competence and attention to detail to rival legends such as British Leyland.

A milk-carton sized and shaped mascot character, complete with eyes and arms. The lower half of the milk carton body is emblazoned with a blue wave, with the front containing the word “Lymph” in large bold letters. The mascot is pictured against a smooth grey backdrop.
