One of my favourite Greek vases....😊

I have to confess that despite being a drama / classics double major, I never liked the ancient plays; not reading them, nor performing them. And I just don't /get/ comedy, modern or ancient. But gosh... has this turned me around completely. It's brilliant! AncientBlueSky youtu.be/Cr9bHa3xrV8?...

So sad to hear about the old tree of Sycanore Gap on Hadrian's Wall. 😥 🏺

Well, well.... As long as there are more green ones than red ones...

First day of freshers' week. The day went really well: lots of good conversations, and they are so with it! Biggest cohort in years. Really looking forward to the year, but totally shattered at the moment. I have to get used to so many people again! (Picture cleared for posting by all seen in it)

Evening sky yesterday. Alas, today's rainy evening does not offer quite such a good picture....

Ok... so @nevillemorley.bsky.social tells me that one should be posting about cats ore home-grown vegetables. 🐈🥕🥦🥬 I love both, but they are in short supply at home. Will some flamingos do for now?

This is really worrying.... absolute devastation of the Humanities at Victoria (Wellington, NZ) AncientBlueSky
