A week ago two of the ferries that go between Stockholm (Nynäshamn, but almost Stockholm) and Visby crashed into each other and one of them isn't functioning. To solve this problem they cancel ferries from Oskarshamn, which is where we travel from, because people from Stockholm are more important than people from the rest of the country and so the ferry which my tent, bed, chest with clothes and other stuff that I need was cancelled. First the people who are towing the trailer actually thought about not going (thanks a lot for that: that would have meant no medieval week for me + cancellation of my lectures, which might have meant that I wouldn't have been asked to lecture anymore, for being such a flake), but after some talking we decided that they should go on Monday and arrive at 6 pm then.
The only problem with that is that I'm arriving already on Sunday evening, so now I need somewhere to stay that night. I also have to bring extra medieval clothes and lecture notes, but that's doable. But I need somewhere to sleep, and someone to pick me up at the airport - and if I'm staying far away from the camp I have to be there at 9 am on Monday morning, because I'm doing guard duty then.
I think it will be solved, but I'd feel much better if I knew.

Maja's new dress is finished:




She didn't want me to take any photos of her where you can see the front, but if you look closely you may see the little bows made of striped ribbon.

I am even more worried about the medieval week now - now I don't only have to find somewhere to sleep Sunday night, but also people who are willing to help putting up pavillions at 1 am the night between Monday and Tuesday, since that was the only ferry available.
And still nowhere to sleep. I've got people to pick me up from the airport, but nowhere for them to take me.
And my lectures are Monday and Tuesday, which means that I will be totally exhausted when I give them and when I put up camp.

The wonderful Etla from the barony of Styringheim, who organizes the camp, offered me a sleeping bag, a mattress and a place in the crash tent. Now that is solved :) Though I would still prefer a sofa, spoiled as I am ;)
