After two full months of waiting, my copy of #TheSeaInMe arrived, at last. It actually was mailed from Sweden, but is a Penguin Australia book.
Have now added it to my #CodySimpson collection. Wonder what we'll see next from Codes.... feels like another edition by #PrinceNeptune is in order, sometime in the next year, or two, perhaps.
Considering #TheSeaInMe depicts and mentions an ice cream van, quite the coincidence that one passed through here last night. #books
Had my first notified interaction with #BlueSky, after @the-singer.bsky.social fav'd this post/toot: https://mastodon.social/@wpgne/112726278421416144 , which was on #PrinceNeptune & Codes.
Wasn't aware the bridge allowed for that sort of thing, now. Good to know, going forward.
Hopefully Cody realises Code 102 would also apply to electronic "islands"....
BIG Olympic-sized Congratulations to #EmmaMcKeon , btw.. she's been flyin' (and setting records) @ #ParisOlympics !
#PrinceNeptune is stirring, once again... Or at least @[email protected] is quoting his Code 101, with Emma over in France, and him back at home.
Hope he's not feeling too lonely or jealous.
Still waiting for Cody and/or Nep to connect their Threads accounts to the Fediverse. Perhaps it's beyond their comprehension.
And, as of a few minutes ago, I have completed the transcription of #PrinceNeptune 's first collection of poetry and prose into my log. It's taken me five weeks and five days to go about this task, and I've refrained from interrupting the writing with any of my own log entries, so it's all there in a contiguous manner. This was a very worthwhile and seemingly important thing to do. Your words are now my words, Nep. We'll see you come out of your secluded lair again one day soon.
Put down #PrinceNeptune Codes 73 & 75 this morning. Guess you could unofficially title 75 as "Eager For Everything", since each stanza ends on that. Line 2 is the title of a song I've heard many times before.
I did also record Code 74. It's untitled, but are the original verses for "Golden Thing", which had a few added to round it out as a @[email protected] track. That song envisions Codes playing his guitar on the grassy hill

Have now recorded #PrinceNeptune Codes 49, 50, 53, 54, 55, & 56, along with "Freedom", in ink. Of course, I've mentioned and seen #50 many times. It's one of Nep's Top Codes. Gotta say Code 54 remains one of my favs. Lines 2, 3, 4, *5*, 6, 10, 18 & 19 stick out to me. Can feel how those times were for Nep. I did travel the PCH myself, once, but it was merely a brief two day side journey, as I began the trip home from California. #poetry
Transcribed #PrinceNeptune Codes 46, 47, and 48 just now. Must say 40 & 46 have some similarities, although the former gives you a sense of what our earth will be like if we do not get climate change under control. The latter reminds me of a slightly more pleasant "Brave New World". I do wonder whom Nep was quoting in Code 48. Feeling some definite Kerouac vibes from how it's written. Maybe Nep is quoting his alter ego, @[email protected] ... that would be interesting.
Completed transcribing #PrinceNeptune Codes 42, 43, 44, & 45 today. I can just imagine the visions/stories behind where Nep got the inspiration to write some of the more "descriptive" ones, like #45.
I'm in the process of transcribing all of young #PrinceNeptune 's published works of poetry and prose into my log book. I've had a copy of PN sitting on my table for several weeks and thought that would be a good thing to do. Wrote in Code 31, 32, 33, & 34 this morning. The last line from Code 30 sums up what his counterpart @[email protected] is going through right now, especially in the #Paris2024 homestretch.
And, here, twenty years later, is the full #Olympic flame lighting ceremony from the ruins of The Temple Of Hera in Olympia, Greece to kick off the torch relay for #Rio2016, of which @[email protected] was one of the bearers:

A bit higher quality than what I have (plus being complete). A cool thing to witness, even from afar.
Reminds me of #PrinceNeptune 's Code #50 once again
"We may wear different clothes, but we wear the same sun."
