I don’t know how, but The Odyssey had seeped into my mind at a very young age - 7 or 8! A few howling anachronisms, but sounds like I was cooking up a great tale @wmarybeard.bsky.social

Climbed towards Zeus’s Cave on Naxos - guarded by death defying road, razor sharp prickles, goats, slippery marble, heats, winds, some kind of carrion bird and an old Greek goatherd.. Matt Damon was right - a tough climb to film a bit of #theodyssey

Chinese rocket launch at 6:20pm tonight (9 Jun) Syd/Bris time. The rocket will go right over Brisbane - also Townsville, Mackay and Qld coast. May produce a visible gas plume. Look from 6:40pm onwards. Also, you can check out the Venus/Jupiter conjunction (above the NW horizon very close together).

While you were sleeping in your warm beds, I was out in the cold doing this. The blood moon as seen from Adelaide at about 3:40 am. #eclipse #bloodmoon
