The day was named after Odin, also known as ‘Woden’ --> ‘Woden’s Day.’
Woden is the Norse equivalent of the Roman god Mercury.
Mercury can be seen in the French/Spanish/Italian words for Wednesday: mercredi/miércoles/mercoledì.

Taken in Achiltibuie on the Coigach coast, northwestern Scotland. We were fascinated by the skeletal remains of these old boats. They looked like the bones of huge seafaring beasts laid to rest on land. A melancholic image and end.

'Alarm’ was originally a call to arms.
The Italian phrase ‘all’arme!’ means literally “to arms” or “to your weapons.”
We'd still probably hit 'snooze.'
