So, short week, after long weekend. My week was a bit shorter still, since I took off early on Tuesday to get some researching in at the Battye Library. I managed to find a little some info including a picture of my great-great-grandfather, and on a great-great-aunt who was awarded an MBE.

I also found an article about the end of the St Georges Hall Theatre for you, boywhocantsayno - most of what came under the subject wasn't readily available, being either in rare book archives or other places I have no idea where to access them. No pictures unfortunately.

It's starting to get chilly in the mornings now (finally), sometimes the river's still enough to spot smaller fishes jumping out of the water (and probably doing the fishy equivalent of sticking their tongues out at the nearest birds). We have some of the warmer weather seekers on show at the moment though. Last week, the local shops had bunnies on display for Easter. This week, the first of the school holidays? They now have snakes! Interesting to watch, although they should've doubled the size of the viewing-boxes, especially for the larger pythons (I didn't get a good look at one side, couldn't get close enough). calliopes_pen, do I get the morbid and creepifying prize for noting that the side I did get to see close-up had mostly poisonous snakes, like tiger snakes, death adders and dugites? ;)
