Today we found a real jewel in Heraklion, the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology. It included some recreations of the Antikythera Mechanism. Utterly fascinating, and well worth a visit.

Can we not do something about the happy-clappies infesting the city centre? They are literally 100 yards from A CATHEDRAL. Go and do it in there.

Just been for a short but enjoyable run in the sun on the old fun machine. Too hot for full leathers, so wore kevlar jeans and my lightest textile jacket instead - still 🥵! She still puts a smile on my face. 🏍️💨☀️😁 #motorcycle #motosky

Couldn't sleep properly. Saw 4, 5 and 6 on the clock in between dozes. All I want is to wake up refreshed and ready. Not sure what that feels like any more.

To the guy 3 seats from us on the next row down at Hampden Park last night for the Metallica show: I have never at any gig I've been to seen anyone who was more "into it" and committed to the moment. You are a shining star and I salute you. I hope your head is okay this morning.

I wake up tired. I go to work tired. It just goes downhill from there. I basically do a 9-5 Mon- Fri, nothing outrageous compared to some. Why am I struggling? I don't want this.

Interesting choice ofsongs on Planet Rock this morning: The Sweet's classic "Ballroom Blitz", followed immediately by Metallica's "For Whom The Bells Toll".

It's been a crap few months. Work has been a lot harder due to an unexpected death in my employers' family. My wife and I have had to move home. My dad has had to go into a care home, and has been diagnosed with untreatable cancer. I'm having to sell his house, and now my motorbike won't run. 😢🏍️🔧

I listen to @planetrockradio.bsky.social for the music, not for the irrelevant tosh that is the "music quiz" they're currently playing for Bauer's pet charity. Maybe some of the rich stars they've dragged into presenting (looking at you, Ant and Dec) can put their hands in their pockets instead?
