1970s throwback supper here tonight - home made seafood cocktail with scallops and king prawns.

Now watching the footy.

Wasn't that Athena, who sprang fully formed from the head of Zeus?

Wasn't Zeus male?

Wasn't Zeus male?

Yes.

But Greek mythology is decidedly weird at the best of times anyway. Venus was born from sea foam...

Its been a long time since I was interested in reading up on the gods and I can't remember.

Morning.
I've been and had my teeth polished and a filling redone. The polishing felt like the dentist was using a wire brush on a drill!
I've put some washing on the line .
Has anything happened whilst I've been out ?

I had a cup of coffee & some breakfast and waited in vain for the sun to come out.

Wasn't Venus was a Roman goddess.

Yes, indeed. Although much of the Greek / Roman panthenons are pretty interchangeable.

Time to dust off the mower and see to cutting some grass.

That was my task after a relaxed MTB round trip to the bottle bank. Somewhat tempered by discovering that one of the local cats has been using one area (which was somewhat fragrant) as a feline Portaloo

Good news for all those missing the summer - I'm back at work tomorrow so the weather should improve.

Do chocolate-covered cherries count?

As for the liqueur and wine, no. I'm teetotal. Which, in the 70s, would have made me seem like quite the weirdo...

P.S. I *love* Schwarzwalder kirschtorte

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

You did say Kirsch. As you don't drink, you won't mind if I take it.

Kursk, I do believe...
