Some details;
Yes, the dog is smoking a pipe.
@bmmore58 spotted this one, that appears to be a cat!
So young.
This was tent Y, does that mean there were another (at least) 24 tents?

(Y suggests there were 24 tents before this one but doesn't mean there has to be one after it ;) )

A few days ago I complained about a Guardian article using a bad photo from a film in an article about Joan Clarke, a Bletchley Park code breaker, but... something much worse might have happened...
I don't think this photo they used is of Joan... Image
@TeaKayB pointed this out to me and I was stunned, surely not, that would be extraordinary sloppy.
So I looked into it, of course. Image
For starters the image they used is flipped, here's the full picture as it should look: Image

Game review!

I tried 'Aviators', a short game about the Polish air crews in the RAF during WW2.
A subject I care a lot about and I think deserves more attention.

Oh btw, the game is FREE on steam!

For starters, I love the illustrations & art of this game, the cut scenes are gorgeous, like graphic novels.

Time to look at another photo album in my collection, a tiny one this time with one picture on each page, showing us the adventures of some Dutch girl scouts in the early 1930s. Image
Croenssen ? Winter '32.
No idea what that means. Image

This Friday the game 'Manor Lord' is coming out, it's a medieval city builder that I've made a modest contribution to as a historical consultant and beta tester for.
I've been very excited about it for a long time and I'm not the only one, it's creating quite a buzz and has ended up on a lot of wishlists.
What I love about it most is that it tries to depict the middle ages in an accurate way, behind the scenes historians, experts & history addicts have been debating the tiniest details.
I think the result is one of the most historically accurate medieval games I've ever played.

So let's have a sneak peek at it shall we?

First, here's an official video:
Before you start you set up your profile and design your own family crest, look familiar?
This bit alone is SUCH fun, you can fiddle and play with this editor for ages till you get exactly what you want and then you'll see it on the banners in the game!
SUCH FUN! Image

Sigh.
An account with half a million followers just tweeted that long debunked 'life in the 1500s' nonsense, 2.2 million people have seen it.
So here we go again...

These phrases are much more recent:

Facts she says. Image
People washed, used soap, had regular baths and winter weddings were more popular back then, when there are few flowers but full store houses.

Thread of some of the countless fun illustrations in this amazing medieval copy of 'Romance of Alexander'.
Full book here:

Nuns & monks playing baseball?
Put everyone in a habit, that would make sports more interesting to watch. Image
Well that's no fun. Image
