It begins with Purple and JN-25, the Battle of Midway, and proceeds from there.
Not the sort of stuff I bother reading, but rather skim over.
"The Hut Six Story" was similarly incomprehensible* in parts.
*To me. No doubt others would make more of it. Welchman had his security clearance revoked over stuff in that tome.
Lunch was a Ginsters Cornish Pasty followed by 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea and a yoghurt.
I'm in some discomfort today, possibly because of Thursday's exertions and yesterday's getting wet feeding the bonfire.

I'm working my way through an ebook about configuring Django projects for deployment and so on. I suspect I'll already know a lot of stuff in it, or have developed my own similar solutions, but the first couple of chapters have explained how to set up local development servers with Docker, which is useful in its own right and something I've often found a bit confusingComment

I'm Apolloed out.
Tea/dinner this evening was spag bol, the spag being that odd whole wheat stuff & the bol being some I found in the freezer from who knows which batch.
The Battle of Wits is progressing rather well, now in 1941.
