Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: THE THOUSAND RECIPE CHINESE COOKBOOK by Gloria Bley Miller First Grosset & Dunla.

[bertievi]

Albert was at least a little more in tune with the public than his brother and he believed. While he wouldn't deny he was of course separate from them and their every day lives, he did feel as if he was more attuned to how they would perceive things. Perhaps he would wear the loud suit as a subtle statement in a political meeting down the line. For now though, it would be tucked away until the Dunlas couple came for a visit.

Unaware of his friends concerns around what would happen when he passed, Albert put away the jacket and waistcoat and pulled out his usual black alternative as he sought some warmth beyond just his shirt. Pleased that Mycroft was considering his question on the loudest suit, entertained at the thought.

However his whole face lit up at the mention of India. Albert still so desperate to go and see the country made nearly every mention of a visit there thrilling to the King as he turned and smiled at Mycroft. "I bet it was also beautiful though, with wonderful materials?" He checked as he fixed his sleeves before doing up his jacket. He was jealous Mycroft had managed to go, still sad that such a visit would now never come to pass for him. He just had to live vicariously in such a trip through Mycroft.

"Did you try any of them on for yourself? Or see how they were made? I imagine they were done traditionally and that the practice continues like a tailors here." He realised his quick fire questions had started and gave an almost apologetic smile his way. He was keen to hear the answers though and waited for them to come.

The waistcoat along would not be the end of the world. Paired with an otherwise plain outfit, it could provide a small flash of colour that could be visually appealing. Of course, it was still not a fashion trend that Mycroft would find himself wearing, nor was it one he would have suggested if the item had not already been in front of him, but he hardly thought it would be the most hideous thing he had ever seen.

Thankfully, the King did understand common sense, and he did consider the consequences of his actions too. Mycroft was always grateful for that. It made his job a lot easier when he didn't have to concern himself with the behaviour of the monarch, and while he was unlikely to ever say it aloud, it was one of the many times he found himself relieved that fate had put the other man on the throne and not his brother.

Sometimes, every now and again, Mycroft found himself worrying about what would happen when the King passed on. He seemed to be doing a good job of teaching his daughter how to behave, but there was always a chance that the lessons would not stick.

Of course, it would hopefully be a long time before Mycroft found himself sitting through a new coronation. He did not like to think that his friend would be leaving him any time soon.

"The loudest suit I have ever seen?"

Hm. It was an interesting question. Mycroft was not quite sure of the answer. He tended to stick to social circles in which people knew how to dress according to the standards he aligned to.

"Would it be cheating to answer with one of the outfits I have seen abroad? Some other countries - India, for example - are not opposed to wearing suits and similar items of clothing with far bolder colours than ours."

Famines

(Day 20 of @thewatchau‘s Annual Prompts! Ending stretch now!

tw: vomiting, but it’s the last line)

Rufus was young, but he remembered the First Great Famine. He was one month away from turning seven years old when it struck.

He was big enough to help in the fields, if not with the sheep. He remembered the horror he felt when he pulled up a carrot and it was black, rotten and reeking of death.

His scream had attracted his Da, who took one look at the carrot and picked up Rufus, letting the boy bury his face into his shoulder so he wouldn’t have to look at it.

His Da told him to go back to the house and help Mam and Dunla and he couldn’t run fast enough.

He couldn’t explain in words why it spooked him so much. It was just a rotten carrot, it was probably the only one. He turned out to be wrong on that.

Dunla was doing some weaving while Rufus went over the farm numbers with Mam. Or rather, she did the numbers and Rufus tried not to fall asleep.

Da came back into the house, and Rufus perked up, glad for something else to do.

“Need a hand Da?” he called out.

Da didn’t seem to hear him, instead slumping into his armchair by the fire.

Mam stood up, ruffling the Rufus’s hair as she passed, and stood beside the chair.

“Brian?”

Da shook his head, running a hand under his eyes. Mam turned to Rufus and Dunla, the latter of which had stopped weaving.

“Dunla, go check on the uplands house. Take Rufus and one of the dogs with you.”

“Mam!” Dunla protested, but a look from their Mam made her shut up. “Come on Rufus.”

Rufus got up to follow his sister, looking back as his Mam comforted his Da. Why he wouldn’t learn until later.

Every single crop they had pulled was black and rotten.

Rufus knew Mam and Da weren’t telling them the whole story, but he knew enough. He wasn’t good with numbers, but he could tell they were going down. He noticed there was less food on the table. Breakfast was the only exception, because they had a brownie, and what they offered in return did not depend on what they could find in the market.

They had it better than most. Rufus could see it when they went to Slinad for market. They had sheep and wool to sell, while those who only grew crops had nothing.

He hated going. He hated seeing people that hungry, that scared.

Everyone hoped it would get better next harvest. It did not.

They couldn’t keep all of their farmhands. They simply didn’t have the money for it. He hated seeing them go, many of them were his friends. He cried to his Mam, who tried to show him the numbers and how it made sense, but that had made him cry harder.

After nearly a year and a half of failed harvest, Rufus’s little brother Liam was born.

Normally this would be a great thing, finally Rufus wasn’t the baby anymore! But, there was less food than before, and Mam was always hungry, matching the baby in appetite.

When Rufus was supposed to be asleep, he overheard his parents arguing. Da was worried that the baby wouldn’t survive, and bring Mam down with him. Mam wasn’t as convinced.

Rufus didn’t stay to listen to the argument, running back to bed before he heard more things he didn’t want to hear.

Liam survived, as did Mam. They weren’t always strong, but they were alive.

Rufus was coming up to nine when he went out harvesting in 1595. He hadn’t been as badly affected by the rotten crops after the first one, but there was still the churning of dread in his stomach.

The parsnip came out, dark from the earth and white underneath. Rufus just stared at it before scanning the field and running for his Da.

“Da! Da!”

Rufus missed that Da’s cart already had a small bundle of healthy parsnips, but that didn’t stop his Da from ruffling his hair before swinging him up into hug. It was over. It was finally over.

He’d almost forgotten about it until he was nearly 21, autumn 1606. He was pulling up a turnip this time, but when the smell hit he turned away, gagging.

It had to be just the one. It happens sometimes. It couldn’t be happening again, not with the raids as well. It couldn’t it just couldn’t!

He pulled another, the same result. The root slid off the stem and plopped wetly onto the ground into mush.

“Holy shit!” a farm hand cried. “What the fuck?!”

He wasn’t the only one. No no no no no.

He heard a lot of the farm hands sounding confused as he turned and walked away. He walked calmly until he was behind the tool shed, where he couldn’t control his nausea anymore and emptied the contents of his stomach.

(As implied in this, the Mason’s are primarily shepherds. Losing the crops wasn’t as big of a blow to them as many, since the crops were supplementary income. It was enough to make an impact.)

Çanakkale Savaşı, zannedildiği gibi 1915'te başlayıp 1916'da kazanılmadı. Aslında üç yıl önce 1913'te kazanıldı.

Çünkü…

Mustafa Kemal, Trablusgarp'tan yeni dönmüştü, askeri ataşe olarak Sofya'ya gitmeden önce Çanakkale Boğazı'na atandı.

Kader adeta onu buraya getirmişti… O günlerde henüz kendisi de farkında değildi ama, üç yıl sonra tarihin akışını değiştireceği Çanakkale'yi üç yıl önceden inceleme fırsatı yakalamıştı.

Üç bin yıl önce Truva Savaşı'nın yaşandığı yerleri karış karış dolaştı.

Kitap merakı sayesinde klasik literatüre hakimdi.

İlyada'yı okumuştu.

Homeros'un mitolojik destanındaki yer tariflerini keşfetmeye çalıştı.

Karadan ve denizden saldırı noktalarının o günkü konumlarıyla bugünkü şartlarını harita üzerinde karşılaştırdı, krokiler çizdi.

Milattan önce 334 yılında Asya seferine çıkan Büyük İskender, 35 bin kişilik ordusunu Çanakkale Boğazı'ndan geçirmişti.

O geçiş güzergahını adım adım inceledi.

Boğazı tekneyle geçti, Büyük İskender'in Anadolu topraklarına ayak bastığı yerden karaya çıktı, neden o noktanın seçilmiş olabileceğine dair coğrafi notlar tuttu.

Herodot okumuştu.

Yıllar yıllar sonra “300 Spartalı” filmine konu olacak Termofil Savaşı'ndan haberdardı.

Tıpkı Homeros'un izini sürdüğü gibi, Herodot'un anlattığı yer tariflerini de keşfetmeye çalıştı.

Milattan önce 480 yılında Yunan topraklarını istila etmek için gelen Pers kralı Kserkes'in 50 bin kişilik devasa ordusuyla Anadolu tarafından Avrupa tarafına geçtiği noktayı inceledi, notlar tuttu.

Yine böyle bir Mart günü, Truva antik kentine geldi.

Saatlerce gezdi, düşündü, krokiler çizdi.

Achilles'in mezarı olarak bilinen tümülüsü ziyaret etti.

(Tıpkı Mustafa Kemal gibi, Fatih Sultan Mehmet de Homeros'un İlyada'sından etkilenmişti. Kalkıp Truva'ya gitmişti. Yanından ayırmadığı vakanivüsü Kritovulos'ın notlarından biliyoruz, Truva'nın kalıntılarını gezmişti, Achilles'in Hektor'un mezarları hakkında bilgi almıştı, kahramanlıklarını saygıyla anmıştı. Truva'nın coğrafi konumunu, denizle-karayla ilişkisinin stratejik yararlarını irdelemişti. Papa II. Pius'a yazdığı mektuptan anlıyoruz ki, İstanbul'un fethini Truva'nın rövanşı olarak görüyordu.)

Bugün artık gayet net şekilde biliniyor ki, İngiliz genelkurmayı da aynı metodu uygulamıştı, Çanakkale Savaşı hazırlıkları sırasında bölgenin antik tarihi üzerine araştırmalar yapmışlardı, Truva dönemine ait antik çağ haritalarından faydalanmışlardı.

Truva Savaşı'nda lojistik üs olarak kullanılan Bozcaada, Gökçeada ve Limni adaları, Çanakkale Savaşı'nda da İngilizler tarafından lojistik üs olarak kullanıldı.

Truva Savaşı'nda Beşige koyu'na şaşırtma amaçlı sahte çıkarma yapılmıştı, İngilizler aynısını Çanakkale Savaşı'nda yaptı.

Truva Savaşı'ndaki efsane Truva Atı'nı bilmeyen yoktur…

Çanakkale Savaşı'nda Truva Atı hilesi bile kullanıldı.

Kurnaz İngiliz kurmayları, donanmanın kömür ihtiyacını karşılayan 105 metre uzunluğundaki River Clyde isimli kömür şilebini, modifiye ederek çıkarma gemisine dönüştürmüştü. Dışardan bakıldığında eski püskü kömür şilebi görüntüsüydeydi, güvertesinde askeri teçhizat veya herhangi bir kişi görünmüyordu, halbuki, ambarları hınca hınç asker doldurulmuştu. Dümeni kilitlenip yanlışlıkla savrulmuş gibi karaya oturacak, vurulmaya değer hedef olarak görülmeyecek, hava kararınca içindeki iki bin asker karaya çıkacak, ilk savunma hattımızı delecek, arkadan gelecek olanlara gedik açacaktı. Beceremediler.

Truva'yla Çanakkale'nin üç bin yıllık hesaplaşma olduğunun bir başka çok önemli göstergesi, Agamemnon'du.

Britanya donanmasının en güçlü savaş gemilerinden birinin adı, Agamemnon'du… Agamemnon, Truva'yı yıkmaya gelen Akha ordusunun başkomutanının adıydı!

Osmanlı'nın ölüm fermanı anlamına gelen Mondros Mütarekesi'nin, başka yer yokmuş gibi, Agamemnon zırhlısının güvertesinde imzalanması da, elbette tesadüf değildi.

Fatih Sultan Mehmet'in muhteşem isabetli tespiti gibi, İstanbul'un fethi, Truva Savaşı'nın rövanşıydı.

Üç bin yıl sonra Çanakkale'yi geçmeye çalışanlar, Truva'nın rövanşını kaybedenlerdi.

Çanakkale Savaşı, tıpkı Truva Savaşı gibi, doğu ile batı'nın, Avrupa'yla Anadolu'nun mücadelesiydi.

Ve işte 1915…

Üç yıl önce Truva'nın stratejik planlarını bizzat yerinde inceleyen, ölçüp biçen Mustafa Kemal, üç yıl sonra yeniden Çanakkale'deydi.

Ne yapacağını, neler yapması gerektiğini kafasında çoktan kurgulamıştı.

Anafartalar…

Savaşın kırılma noktasında yeralan iki köyümüzün ortak adıydı.

Küçük Anafarta köyü.

Büyük Anafarta köyü.

Anafarta kelimesi, yerel ağızda “rüzgara karşı, çok rüzgar alan yer” manasına geliyordu.

Anafartalar Kahramanı'nın emperyalizm rüzgarına karşı durduğu yer, coğrafyanın sözlük anlamına da cuk oturuyordu.

Özetle.

Çanakkale Zaferi dan dunla değil…

Analitik zekayla, entelektüel birikimle kazanıldı.

E şimdi bakıyoruz 18 Mart'ı anma müsamerelerine…

Truva, İskender, Heredot filan, hak getire.

Çanakkale'yi idrak edebilmeleri mümkün mü bu cehaletle?

Ahaha 😀 that feeling when you find out something terrible about your backstory mom, then your party mom dies in the same day

Ahaha so funny 😀🥲

Raids

(Day 19 of @thewatchau‘s Annual Prompts

Warning for blood mention)

Rufus stood at his post, shovel slung over one shoulder and dog at his feet. The sun was just starting to come over the mountains, so no raid tonight, thank goodness.

The dog yawned and stood up, giving himself a bit of a shake before wandering off. His job was done.

Rufus reached for the horn on his belt and gave the ‘all clear’ signal, which was repeated back along the fence line and from the unlucky sod who had track duty. Another all clear came from the track as they heard the upper farm’s response.

Rufus threw the shovel into the ground and stretched out his back, groaning. This was getting ridiculous, they couldn’t carry on at this rate. Everyone was exhausted, the sheep were stressed and it was a damn miracle that no one had gotten badly injured yet.

They were well staffed, about nine farmhands. Although, how long they’ll stay now was debatable. They couldn’t make them stay, and frankly it wasn’t safe for anyone to stay here right now, but they couldn’t leave the farm.

They could go to Dunla’s in Slinad, and the Farmer’s Guild would probably help, but this was their home.

Lara was milking one of the goats, being watched by their mother as Rufus walked towards the farmhouse.

Lara spotted him instantly and started to get up, excited to see him and startling the goat. Their mother gently grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back down before calming the goat down.

“Morning,” Rufus yawned.

“Go to bed Rufus,” their mother peered over her glasses for a second before tending to the goat. “You looked exhausted.”

“Work to be done,” Rufus stumbled towards the barn, but his mother reached out and grabbed his arm.

“Mam,” Rufus groaned, but didn’t pull his arm away.

“Sleep. You can’t work like this. I’ll keep your plate by the fire.”

Rufus just groaned again and nodded, turning around to stagger into the house.

His room was the same as it always was, brightly coloured woollen blankets with various childhood trinkets scattered about. He collapsed into it and knew no more for several hours.

 ---

Almost as if he had jinxed it, they got an injury on the next raid.

A farmhand he was fighting alongside staggered back suddenly with a cry of pain. Blood poured down their arm and they just stared at it, oblivious to the monsters trying to kill them.

“Get to the house!” Rufus roared, charging in with a mattock and drove the sharp point into it’s head. “Now!”

That seemed to startle the farmhand out of the stupor they were in, and they began to run down the hill.

The sudden movement attracted the monsters.

Rufus swore violently and whistled for the dogs to try and deal with the sudden stream of beasts that tore after the injured farmhand like foxes after a rabbit.

Rufus swung the mattock wildly, slamming into one of them with a crack and a scream. It skittered off to one side to lick its wounds, while the others kept on coming.

The dogs arrived like a furry battalion, all snarls and death as together they all managed to hold off the wave.

The injured farmhand made it to the farmhouse safely, and the wave was fought back. Just.

They would live to fight another day.

(This is either late 1604/early 1605. Between September 1604 and March 1605. Lara is about 5/6, depending)

I'm sad to announce the death of Dedsec Operative Vicky Lyon.

Vicky was 24 years old, and a member of the Thames River Police. Formerly, she was a Major in the Royal Marines.

A comicbook collector and frequent donator to animal shelters, Vicky died completing Jared's mission. Unfortunately, while she was able to download the necessary data, she was caught while escaping the Embassy, and shot down.

She joined Dedsec after they helped her parolee, Rick Hanley, from a hostage situation. She later learned Rick was already a member of Dedsec.

She also suffered from early-stage multiple sclerosis.

She is survived by her grandmother, Dunla Lyon.

Ah, fuck.

Should've guessed that a mission would send me to the US Embassy.
