Ordered a Lupin III art book for myself as a treat.
Lupin III is a LONG running anime character - the best thief in the world, in wonderfully ridiculous heists, car chases, fights...

Since there's been that kerfuffle about the Revue down in Roncesvalles, I'm thinking of going to see some old films they are showing - North by Northwest this Sunday at 3:30 and Raiders of the Lost Ark the following Sunday at 7. But LoA would be something else!

This is very much worth a watch! I feel I need to look into the support given by 245 Anti Tank Battery's Achilles. I am also always intrigued by cooperative actions involving both Canadian and British troops. This also happened in Italy!

Excited to share that I just won the BCMH Three Minute Thesis competition held at King's College London (no, the other one) this afternoon from across the pond! (I really needed this last little push to reassure myself as I wrap up my cognate.)

We've just passed the 80th anniversary of the defence of Rauray in Normandy in which 49th (West Riding) Division halted German armoured counterattacks at considerable loss. This battle is described in detail in Kevin Baverstock's _Breaking the Panzers_ (2002)

That article makes it clear that there are few strikes in Sweden, not because of public sentiment, but because people are part of a better system where real pay keeps increasing.

Listening to In Our Time about Marcillius of Padua who as a "young man" at the "start of his career" wrote his most important work. Since he was actually around *50*, I take this as encouragement for all of us who start writing later in life!

"Happy" Canada Day. Canada is a comparatively good place to live, unless you belong to the population which was dispossessed in order to found the country. We continue to fail to make good on this.
