For everyone who’s interested in medieval manuscripts; the famous Harley Golden Gospels, or Codex Aureus is now online for everyone to see. This 9th century Carolingian manuscript has been written with gold ink, and contains some beautiful fullpage illuminations. Click on the picture to go to the website of the British Library where all 430 (!) images can be seen in full detail.

Stephen tells it like it is :(

Update on day-off activities

Large amount of Alice In Chains listened to; have now moved onto PJ Harvey & John Parish.
Sweet potato bread now has taste and texture of a particularly chewy malt loaf: tasty but largely inedible.
Have dyed seven hanks of fibre: two hanks of alpaca laceweight, five of aran angora/merino. Happy with all but two of them, which I’ll have to overdye at some point. Really need to work out how to get a good shade of pink out of the pigments I have.

List ends here, because over the course of the afternoon I’ve been overtaken by the desire to just curl up and cry. Trying to be down to earth about it, reminding myself that I’m doing well to have been off medication for three months and to have had more good days than bad days recently, but that I’m not ‘better’ and that this horrible spiralling feeling isn’t going to just go away. Though trying to think sensibly about it helps not a jot: I’m just so fucking bored of having depression. It’s turned everything grey.

And I’ve still got a fucking loaf of bread to make.

Things I intend to do with my day off

Sit about and listen to an awful lot of Alice In Chains.
Try and salvage the entirely-unrisen loaf of sweet potato bread I made yesterday.
Make some normal bread.
Practise juggling while no one’s in.
List some clothes on eBay.
Dye some fibre.
Spin some fibre.

It’s so so nice to have a day off with largely no commitments. Makes a nice change.
