Today's #MapMonday takes me back to writing Thunder Run - the hand drawn map of Oyin found in the Probyn's Horse war diary.
Oyin is a village on the way to Meiktila from the Irrawaddy bridgehead, its significance lies in the sudden increased intensity of Japanese tank hunting parties...

The False Spring of last week, gave way to foggy forest late winter
Took the opportunity to visit Southend's newest listed building, the 1928 Sun Shelter. It was added to the list at grade II last year thanks to @c20society.bsky.social Even got to see it in the sunshine after the fog cleared 🌞
[NEW VIDEO] Why has “alternative archaeology” become a dead end instead of a path to discovery? And why do these beliefs so often become part of a person’s identity? I offer my thoughts here => youtu.be/4uvD30xw_ZY
Spring!
Fascinating chat with Walter Reid in this week’s episode of India and Indian Independence 👇

#InternationalWomensDay
Marilyn Monroe as Sugar Kane in a still from Some Like It Hot wearing a black dress and holding a hip flask. Behind her scowling is Tony Curtis dressed as Josephine.
Front cover of the book Nobody's Perfect: The Making of Some Like It Hot by Lucy Jane Santos. Image shows an aerial shot of Sweet Sues band performing with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe int he centre. The title and author text is laid over this image in white and red lettering.
For #IWD I have been thinking about Marilyn Monroe and how its time to finally stop characterizing her as a difficult woman. My #WIP looks behind the scenes of the making of Some Like It Hot to how she was treated, portrayed and exploited during this time of her life (as well as before and after).
