Late greeknotes this week due to astronomical phenomena – I went to a beach to take some extremely underwhelming photos of the lunar eclipse. TLDR; good book/weather/dog/cosmic ballet

Going to the beach to watch a total lunar eclipse was probably the week's highlight. That or the giga-souvlaki.

It's an incredible privilege to just potter around athens. That being said, the 4hr guided tour of the meagre remnants of the piraeus walls was unfortunately as boring as it sounds, but I am very slightly wiser.

Final greeknotes now my 90 days are nearly up ☹️, the brexit gift that keeps on giving.

A week of rain and grey felt like the UK I left a year ago this week. The hot and sunny weekend spent in an open-air cinema, a vegan festival and some terrific bars quelled any homesickness.
