highlyeccentric: Sign on Little Queen St - One Way both directions (Default)
Verily! I

* Was engaged in paid employment for 5 hours this morning.

* Went to the library and obtained many books on the Chanson de Roland, and also some books on AS England including the Encomium Emmae Reginae and an overnight loan of David Hills Atlas of Anglo-Saxon England.

* Read said Atlas. All of it, except for the bits about coinage and salt mines. Observed many interesting things (eg- King Cnut, once crowned King, never went north of Oxford or east of Shrewsbury).

* Translated fifty-odd lines of Beowulf

and

* Read 500-odd lines of Roland.

I am smug now.
