Five thousand years and it *still works*
Apparently Newgrange is livestreaming sunrise for 3 days this year, so if you happen to be online tomorrow as the sun rises in Ireland, there's one more chance to watch it. (I have no intention to be awake at that hour, but did watch their little video at the bottom of the page and-- with a head full of navigational star change and continental drift levels of time-- was much impressed with a neolithic calendar that still functions as designed.)
Something something worldcon-- it went fairly well given the general state of the world at present, & I didn't trip a rapid test before coming back into the house. (grauwulf thought too long about logistics and did not take the Megatherium, much to her irritation, but I brought her back a book & a bunch of ribbons & told her we'll try again for Balticon in May.) I continue to know people to chat with and/or wave to, at least when we can recognize each other with masks and tiny print nametags...
I went to a panel that felt like the way back into the thing I was writing two years ago; then I managed to squish 2 not-quite-right sentences out of my brain and remembered that the *other* problem was worldbuilding-related as if I'm actually trying to base things loosely off of medieval Russia I can't just make up everything, so I think it is time for some intensive outlining of all the things I know but haven't got the right voice and/or setting for yet and more research. Which is not exactly a thing I've done before, but I think this is how to make this one work. So, I guess there's actually a plan, and that's nice.
