(no subject)
I was feeling slightly bemused at my lack of Melbourne Cup celebration today, then I checked into Facebook. I'm not the only Canberran spending much of the day in bed!
I'm up now, and will get all my work done and all my teaching - it's only the recreational aspects of the day that have suffered. Also, whatever caused me to be so tired I couldn't move this morning is mostly gone. Probably the lingering remnants of the virus I had last week and the week before. Also, I dreamed of Gawain being given two bad prophecies prior to a quest, which had me racking my brains (in my sleep) for a literary source before I took in the cafeteria environment and sagely said "Ah, a modernisation." Which was fun. Life could be a lot worse. It could also have had a Melbourne Cup sweep and a glass of champagne.
For the rest of the day I shall firmly be in the Middle Ages. From now until 4.30 pm I shall be in 1305 in Languedoc and after that I shall mainly be in England and Rouen and Paris in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. My first task is to find a list of the minor orders accurate for 1305. Any search parties need to be appropriately attired. I shall emerge from the Middle Ages at 10 pm precisely.
