Halloween eyes, 23/10/25

It is now dark by the time I get back to the station after my Thursday afternoon lecture — but next week it will be dark before I even finish the class, thanks to the clocks going back this weekend.

Actually I think there’s been somewhat less overt plastic tat on display this year but maybe that’s just a personal opinion.

Perhaps the photo is flawed because none of their faces can be seen, but maybe that does everyone a favour.
