I'm travelling to Paderborn today to take part in a workshop about object-oriented research on clothing... so you're not getting a proper blog post. Nor will you get any blog post tomorrow, as I'll still be workshopping and travelling, to return late at night (and am, as usual, not ahead of my schedule...).

My paper for the workshop is about the reconstruction of historical tailoring techniques, and I'm really excited about it (plus, as usual, I hope that I have included all the bits that are of interest to the others attending, and left out all the boring bits). There's a long train trip where I'll hopefully be able to get some other work done, and then there will be the workshop, and there will be a conference dinner, and I'm quite delighted to get to see Paderborn again - I was there ages ago with a university excursion to see a big exhibition, and I remember it as a really nice place.

All sunshine and delight! Apart from the tiny little fact that I still have to go through my presentation at least once, and pack my clothes, and get a few other things done... and have to get up at oh-dark-hundred tomorrow morning to catch the train. (I think it's really past time that someone invents a new travelling method. A really fast one, that uses little energy and is okay for the environment...)
