I had a great time, I didn't get cold and drank a little too much on Saturday evening. I also managed to sell a dress which gave me money to spend on frivolous stuff,in this case socks - I have just placed an order at SockDreams, to be delivered at my friend Andreas place where I'm staying when I'm in New York next week.

Dressing in regency clothes for my job

 Today the various university departments here in Gothenburg had a chance to present themselves to high school students and I had been asked my my department, the Department of Historical Studies, to represent history - and to dress up for it. Since the archaeologist showed a 12th century skull we decided that it was better with another time period than medieval. So I put on one of my regency outfits. It was a bit tricky, since hubby wasn't at home to help me with the ties in the back of the gown. I managed, but couldn't really hide the ties properly by myself. Luckily I ran into hubby downtown who not only took a photo of me, but also helped my with the ties.

Selfie outside our house, on my way to the tram.

The photo Rickard took outside a part of the university library.



 

After the presentation I met Valeria and when we got home I made hummus and then went to the gym for 45 minutes before getting back and making the rest of our dinner consisting of salad, hummus, bread and falafel.
