So Reading Week has been and gone at the Estoria de Espanna HQ. No lectures or seminars to go to meant a very productive week for me. I spent the week finishing off my database of concordances and starting to analyse these for a chapter of my thesis on Alfonsine attitudes to language, of which I will present a small part at our upcoming colloquium. My little cat Pumpkin made it her business to get in the way at all possible opportunities. She has not quite got the idea of laptops yet, but I suppose she has the time it takes me to write 80,000 words to get the hang of them.
