IT progress

Yeah! I think we might be back on track. Land line phone should be up and running on Friday (might call a few lucky souls then), and internet on Tuesday. So, fingers crossed, thumbs held, legs broken and all the other things. I might soon have a life again!

Oh, and last minute good news on the PhD - I, who am so proud of having found not one, but two fragments of medieval Swedish prayer books for my PhD (although admittedly one is a re-used 12th century English one) have now found a third one! Google, random searches on weird words (no, I didn't not search for 'medieval Swedish prayer book from Vadstena', that would be too obvious) and a lot of luck can sometimes do miracles. It doesn't add anything significant (more than a few lines of text) to my PhD, but it is still pretty impressive, and I have now raised the number of known manuscripts from 15 to 18! :-) *proud* (And anyone really interested: there will be an exhibition of Vadstena manuscripts in the Royal Library in Stockholm next autumn, yours truly are currently writing two articles for the exhibition catalogue.)
