As promised last week, here is your double-round-up of Friday links and images. There isn’t as much commentary as usual, because frankly, I’m pooped. I’m writing this on Thursday evening as I’ll be busy tomorrow down at the Vintage festival doing tours of the Southbank. It has been a busy week trying to fit everything into four days, so once I finish the next sentence I’ll be into the kitchen to mix myself a large campari and soda. Have a great weekend possums! *clink*
