I'm off

Now I'm off to the station to exchange money and then get on the train to the south of Sweden where I will live in m_nivalis' flat and daytrip to Copenhagen for the NESAT-conference.

There

I am now comfortably installed in m_nivalis extremely lovely flat in central Malmö; food shopping has been done and her mother and I have checked buses, trains and metro to the university in Copenhagen. I look forward to tomorrow when I have nothing to do except meet and listen to interesting people, like the hand weaver Lena Hammarlund who's done a lot of reconstruction of roman and medieval textiles, Professor Lise Bender Jörgensen, my friend Viktoria who's going to talk about tablet weaving and of course Mistress Seelie from the West who I haven't met since NESAT 2002.

Ouch again

I forgot to say that I fell rather badly on the stair when I entered the train. It doesn't hurt so much now, it's five hours ago, but I think my legs are going to look intresting tomorrow.

Reproductions of 15th century printed linen

I just got an e-mail from acquaintance from way back. She has set up a company which reproduces printed textiles from the Middle Ages. Look! It's the first fabric which is an exact reproduction of the lining of a 15th century antependium. Another 15th century fabric, from inside a chasuble will soon be in production too. The fabrics are now only sold in a few museum shops, but she is looking for new sellers - it is not impossible that non swedes can work something out with them if they contact her.

Squee!

m_nivalis has all the Elfqest albums. Maybe I'll just give the conference a miss and stay in bed reading Elfquest all day tomorrow?
