I miss haugtussa

[frualeydis]

I miss haugtussa. She moved back to Norway and we almost never see each other anymore. She calls sometimes, but I have a hard time having relaxed conversations over phone since she doesn't have an ordinary phone but a cell phone and that costs so much. I keep worrying about her phone bill all the time while talking. I know most people don't care and I know it's not as expensive as it used to be, but I don't have a cell phone and I haven't gotten used to it. So I don't like having long conversations while the other person has a cell phone, that's just it.
When she lived here she used to come over several times a week, just to drink tea and sew and chat and I miss that. I don't have much energy for it now, with the dissertation almost finished, but at least once a week would have been very nice. It was very much like it is with my friend Anna: I didn't have to make that much of an effort, if I was tired or distracted and didn't talk much we could just sit an be together, talk a little once in a while and look at period pictures. It was nice to have someone to discuss theories and research on medieval clothing with and someone one could ask about music, since she know so much more than me in that field. I also need her enthusiasm to get my own interest for making early 14th century clothes going again.
She sent me an e-mail yesterday, I will try to answer it today.
Now I should get back to reading through my introductory chapter.

Then I and my husband are peculiar too. I have my dad's old cell phone and the only time we bring it is when we go to Visby medieval week and then it's never on of course, unless we make a call. People ask me for my cell phone number, but a) I don't know it and b)If it's never on, what's the point?
