Northern European history geek happily marooned in Athens. Write to keep my sanity. Enjoy music and a good story - on page or screen - best savoured with a glass of wine or two. Travelling is my favourite way to meet people and explore new places.

Oops, I just realised that I forgot to post one this Monday. Here you go.
Susie Dent’s The Roots We Share @susiedentwords.bsky.social touched me deeply, so I’ve decided to share one of the 100 words that bring us together each Monday, to add a little brightness to your day.✨
Today's is Simpatico.

Another beauty. 😍
A lovely #Roman glass bowl, in shades of green & yellow. It was made about 2000 years ago, probably in Italy, but ended up in a grave in the Rhineland; it is one of the largest glass bowls ever found north of the Alps (📷 Clemens Sels Museum Neuss) #AncientBlueSky

Been trying for three weeks to book an appointment at the German Embassy just to submit my passport application. “No appointments available. Please try again later.” And it’s another six weeks to receive the passport. I still have my ID for Schengen travel, but honestly - this is unacceptable. 🤬

Do you know that ridiculous feeling of guilt when you don’t get everything done that you put on your list for the day - even though, for one reason or another, you simply couldn’t?
Does my head in. Just relax ffs!

No, you were just too engrossed - and grossed out - by that documentary on medieval punishments, and forgot to remove you eyebrow dye. 🙄🤦🤣

We'd smoked herring for lunch - I'd forgotten it comes with the entire sea's worth of salt.
