The Bocksten Bog man - a surprise invitation

[frualeydis]

An hour ago or something a fellow PhD-student, who's also employed at the Varberg museum, called and asked if I could come down to Varberg (ca 100km from here) this afternoon since they were going to investigate and discuss new radiocarbon dating of the Bocksten Bog man's costume and he wanted to hear my opinions while they were doing it. Unfortunately I couldn't go today, since I have to finish a chapter before friday and then a woman from Nylöse will come over tonight to fit a 15th century italian dress. And I really can't do things spontaneously like that, I need more planning time with a baby and everything. So we decided that the next time the archaeologist who was going to look at him comes there I would come down. Then I would have time to prepare before, studying images from the relevant time period etc.

Firstly, the kitty is too cute for words. I have a white shorthaired cat:) Same pink nose and ears though;)

Being involved in the new research would be amazing:) And I hope the later date will work out better for you:)

Thanks! He's my baby...14 years old, and just a big love! His name is Nicholas, and he rules the roost, and my heart! I'll tell him about your compliments. Thanks!

It will probably not be until next month or so. I'm going to discuss it via mail tomorrow. Pablo called while I had a student I was helping with her essay in the room and I hadn't time to discuss it further.
