So M&S are touting these giant cannonball onions, and they are the same size as the 12 pdr shot I got to fire for NatGeo. So obviously French onion soup is in progress but the goggles are essential because I have the wimpiest eyes in humanity and now my cat thinks I’m insane.

This January I’m launching an online course for people passionate about History. This isn’t a historian telling you things, it’s designed to turn you from a vociferous reader into someone who is starting to think like a historian themselves… Sign up details: introtohistory.eventbrite.com

Today has been spent basking in victory. Bring me the finest bagels and muffins in the land. My official title is “Rage Queen of the Imperial War Museum” and David Lloyd George, Christmas Truce, cult of Napoleon & Henry VIII were consigned to the dustbin of history @historyrage.bsky.social

Just f**k off you drug addled spunk monkey. You’re not from here, you don’t live here, you and your ignorant ramblings are not wanted here. The sooner someone shoots you into space, and you bob around like one of those Russian dogs in the 50s till the air runs out, the better off humanity will be.

Still love the cat sanctuary in Rome. Have just distance adopted Napoleone. He was smacked by a car and has some brain damage. He walks in circles a lot, but is adorable.
