Exhausted and excited

[frualeydis]

I'm back from Varberg. I'm exhausted. I have handled the Bocksten bog man costume: touched, looked at seams and construction and the structure of the fabric. I have four CDs with photos from 1936 when they found it and from the conservations in 1936 and 1982. Repeat: I have touched the Bocksten bog man costume!!! The only complete preserved medieval man's costume and 650 years old!!!
I also got a package from Sock Dreams.

...Will you speak to us mere mortals, now?
so if I shake your hand, I will have touched somebody who has touched the Bocksten Bog Man's clothes? The mind reels...

Seriously, congrats! You've earned it. And enjoy your socks, too.

I wore gloves so my skin hasn't _really_ touched the costume. It was really fun and more exciting than I had thought it would be.

OK, I'll just harbour some ordinary, good-natured envy, then. :)
It takes a certain kind of mind to find 600-year old textiles "fun and exciting". Feels nice to be in good company.
