So, what has happened the last week?

I made up for most of the lectures that I missed the week before due to illness. I was still rather ill up to Thursday Wednesday, but managed both a trip to another town with my students on Tuesday to look at the Bocksten bog man, and the rest of my classes.

I finished the embroidery on, and attached the first sleeve on Valeria's 16th century camicia. I have also started on the next sleeve.

I have also taken in another of my too big skirts and started on a crushed velvet top.

Yesterday Sari, who was once my student, defended her PhD thesis excellently. I couldn't go to the party, because:

Rickard and I went to see the Jesus and Mary Chain play!!! It was awesome. It was a bit too intense to talk about, but I am filled by the experience still.

Today is Festivalo de Caderas, one of the barony of Gotvik's annual events. It started already yesterday, but I couldn't miss the Jesus and Mary Chain of course. I'm getting a ride with a friend and right now I'm sitting mostly dressed (shift, hair up, wool hose) waiting for her to arrive. I have made marzipan for the sweets table and I have packet coronet, scrolls, tokens, feast gear, prosecco and my embroidery - I should be just fine :)
