hardly surprising which fictional world I prefer
Spending a while before supper making earrings is leaving me not good for much else in the evening, but it is getting earrings done. Cheap ones, for the upcoming rabbit-sanctuary fete. Also need to do some keyrings and some phone charms. I wish I actually liked keyrings and phone charms: I'd probably make better ones if I did.
Almost at the end of the week. Very much looking forward to it. Everyone at work seems to be tired: we suspect it's due to the clocks going forward and us all losing an hour in the morning. Well, that and lots of work.
Happened to catch the Next Avengers movie on television while putting something on as background distraction to earring-making. Entertaining enough, but notable for severe lack of female characters and mother figures. (Brief explanatory note: characters are the children of the "Avengers" group of superheroes from Marvel Comics. Naturally they idolised their departed fathers. Mothers? Oh, presumably mothers were involved somewhere in the process, one supposes. Even if they did give the single female protagonist a decent role and character arc, that did not make up for the absence of any others.)
Oh well.

Snow in the Neath?
The Neath's annual snowfall has been studied. The learned men of the Department of Chiropterochronometry have attempted to incorporate it into their theories of bat rotation. The microscope that was used still exists. It can be seen in the Museum of Mistakes to this very day. The brass is horribly corroded, but the lenses are essentially intact.
