Picked a few nettles while Keldor drove to work, and got them into the dehydrator, started some laundry and sat down to work.

Got as far as setting up the automatic reply for email to start after work tomorrow saying I am away for Skellefteå Medeltidsdagar, and then emailing the archaeology email list for the department suggesting people join me there, and then got distracted uploading the photos I took this weekend to my blog. Finished that, thought about working, and instead talked to Erin and Holmfrid, then made lunch, and though to return to work, when Holmfrid asked about how to do the neckline on a tunic in progress. I got out my neckline pattern, and explained how to use it, and then sat down to the computer.

Had just started working when the doorbell rang. It was Þórólfr and Annica, wondering if I have time to help with a neckline to Annica’s tunic in progress. So I offered them some food, and helped with the neckline. Then Keldor came home from work, and had a quick bite to eat. I helped him unload the insulation he’d brought home and carry it to the attic, and fold the sunshade he’d dried today and put bak in the car for this weekend.

Then he and Erin returned to Skelleftehamn to work on projects there, and I finally actually got some work done. I only managed four hours total for the day before getting too tired to work (at 20:25), but it is something.
