Yep, home match. I cycled even. Glamorous, innit? I was invited to a fancy dinner, by the Rotary Club ‘Land van Rode’ and they had requested a lecture for dessert. I knew the location well as I played there with my university band once, at my own graduation. (So I managed to find the artist entrance). It’s not far from my old uni actually and my grandparents’ old house is also just around the corner, so it was literally a trip down memory lane.
It was sunny out, the first skirt day of the year in fact, and the people were nice. Although they’re not an astronomy society – they had contacted me after a recent appearance on the telly – they were genuinely interested in the subject. At the dinner table even, where I found myself philosophising with the kind strangers. The places I end up these days!
Anyhow. That’s another few people ‘Zoonified’. Daylight hadn’t gone to bed when I went home. But the Moon was already beautifully visible. I took this (rubbish) picture of it and smiled all the way back. Just because.
They gave me a bottle of red by the way, so if you want to come round…
