The Transit of Venus.

Do you know how the TV people kept referring to Venus?

Earth’s evil twin.

I just might write and complain! They also said that life is unlikely to occur there because it’s too hot and acidic. Oh, I don’t know. Isn’t that the origin of the expression ‘Men are from Mars, women are from Venus?’

Anyway, she begins her transit of the sun in a little under an hour, apparently. Americans, Chinese and Australians can watch it, we in Europe can’t. It’s night here. No sun. We get a brief glimpse at 0537 BST tomorrow morning. My bathroom window faces east, so in the unlikely event of me needing the loo just at that time. I’ll wave. Otherwise, Bon Voyage, madam.
