What a day! I had a wonderful time with Doctor Mike. I brought all the glitz and glam only to realize after the first that I had a mascara smudge under my eye. His team assured me that it cant be seen on camera but I shall be on tenterhooks until I can confirm! T-2 weeks until SLEUTH-HOUND!

Found this on youtube: The Story of the Real SAS which combines original footage & scenes from the series SAS Rogue Heroes. My Great-uncle was a Desert Rat who fought in N.Africa and knew a few of the SAS & once told me (in his words) 'they were the hardest bunch of bastards in the British Army'.

Did you know? In the Victorian era, a London street sweeper covered his clothes in thousands of mother-of-pearl buttons and helped create an entire working-class “royal family” devoted to charity? The tradition of London's Pearly Kings and Queens can be traced to Henry Croft. #Victorian #history

Marcus Kelson@marcuskelson.bsky.social · 4mo agofinished season two of Rogue Heroes, to me, artistic licence aside, it was pretty brilliant. I suspect there will be a season three given what happened during Operation Bulbasket, but I must say I was impressed beyond expectation, on SBS in Australia.
