Today is significantly better than yesterday. This is because I am reading Helen Lowe's Thornspell and have accomplished no work whatever. The book is worth taking time out for. She's a lovely writer.

I didn't get a thing done yesterday or most of the day before, unless one counts a load of washing. This afternoon, however, I plan to get back to ordinary life. My NYE dinner got cancelled, so I have from about 2 pm (ish) until about 9 pm (ish) to work. Can I accomplish three days endeavour in this time and catch up with myself? Watch this space.

I've been working on my novel. I keep thinking about how one Medievalist is sure to have holes in her knowledge at crucial spots. If any of you are specialists in early fourteenth century Languedoc (or thereabouts - Montpellier comes into it, and French politics and Templars) and would like some light reading over the next couple of weeks, I would love to hear from you.
