I am sorry I hadn’t had time recently top update my web-log. I am far to busy, not with exploring the country or the city, visiting museums and theatre but with fine roles. These financial accounts of the royal government, in my case those of King John, or unidexed, untranslated and worse of all still in palaeographic shorthand. So it will keep me busy tot translate the 80 pages, looking for the right entries. A terribly slow process, but a lovely one.

For the rest, the weather is starting to get colder, the days grow dark, it is time for chocolate milk and bonfires. Still waking through the city is something I tend to do in my lunch breaks, but it is cold and windy. The long summer walks are over, the short winter walks has replaced it. Although it is colder, it is busier on the streets than ever, people are doing their Christmas shopping, although there is a credit-crunch, people buys stuff in the millions. Just go and stand next to an Marks and Spencer’s and there is no sign of a credit crunch.

Well, i hope you are all fine, and wish you alle the best. Bye from me and my cat ( who will write shortly about his holiday/Christmas preparations).
