Apr. 30th, 2006 10:43 pmJust come out (via the h-cost list): Heather Rose Jones has put on-line a searchable catalogue of extant garments "from Europe and the Mediterranean from the dawn of time up through approximately 1500."
The Surviving Garments Project. Descriptions only but lots of references. Clunky interface, but that is apparently being worked on.
Today has been a good day (even if it does mark turning 29) :). Last night was up til late talking and drinking (ok so I am still finishing the shot of Midori poured last night - it has only been nursed for 24 hours...) Definitely have to do the chocolate brownies drowned in stewed cherries again.
Trash and Treasure in the morning. Plums, cotton tops and lots of cheap beeswax (about $10 per kg and the guy is apparently casting up some more for next week). At lunch time we were descended on as first
vonstrassburg, then
mrsbrown,
mr_bassman and
sjkasabi (feel free to correct me on any of these if I am wrong). And a little one who liked munching on the devil duck's horns:) Book and CDs were passed on -
splodgenoodles,
mrsbrown has the 2 CDs with the Pharmacogenomics articles - they didn't take up much space on a CD at all, but I figure duplicate copies never go amiss. There should be 19 easily readable pdf articles filed by number with the last 3 digits indicating the starting page number; if not, give a yell.
Then the rest of the afternoon was spent in a patch of sunlight blackworking the collar, running through rain getting groceries and then heading out to dinner at a very nice restaurant with R&P and R&M (and Z of course). If you ever get the chance, head to Lime Leaves in Queanbeyan. Very very very nice Thai food and I would wax more lyrically over it and in far more detail but Z need the computer to pass on beeswax info before he falls asleep in the bean bag... Very nice cinnamon and ginger sauce over icecream and exotic fruits. Great duck salad. Layerings of flavours.... Will stop drooling now.
