This event involves kinds of things that I find interesting, like SPYING and CODE-BREAKING. [Bletchley Park is where the British World War II code-breakers did their thing, including breaking the Enigma Code,](https://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/content/about/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) which was -- to be very simplistic about it -- the Big Nazi Code, and the breaking of which was a *massive* deal in terms of shortening the war. It's all quite interesting if you're into that sort of thing (personally, there are very few things I enjoy reading about more than sticking it to the Nazis), and[ the Bletchley Park website has a short but extremely interesting history of the whole thing](https://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/content/hist/worldwartwo/captridley.rhtm?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (It really does has everything from spies to fake spies to math.) Anyway, apparently the location has had a huge restoration so that it looks now like it did during the war, and people can go and see and learn and absorb history and all that jazz. I[ read today in The Express that Kate's grandmother actually worked with the codebreakers at Bletchley Park during the war](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/483164/The-Duchess-of-Cambridge-s-family-secret?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), so her visit seems quite apt, and she got to met people who worked with her granny (who is no longer alive, which much have made it very meaningful). I am sorry she did not attend in full WWII costume -- seams in her stockings, red lipstick and whatnot -- but we can't have everything, and this is actually one of my favorites of hers ([she wore it once back in 2011.](https://www.gofugyourself.com/well-played-kate-middleton-catching-up-09-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#more-462741)) It certainly *feels* a little retro and thematic. Damn you, Alexander McQueen. Why can't I afford you?

Important note! Remember last week, when we had a lengthy conversation about Books About Romantical Problems During Wars, and it turned into a fabulously long list of books to read? [Fug National Kristabelle is awesome, and she made a master list of the recommended books and even created a Go Fug Yourself Book Club on Goodreads! Anyone can join, so pop over there.](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/137865-go-fug-yourself-book-club?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
