Here’s one of my recent purchases:
It’s an antique German sampler. The condition was better than I expected, there’s some colour bleeding and dirt but otherwise the fabric looks pretty ok. I just love those darning squares and the pretty ornate band under the large alphabet. I keep taking it out from the drawer and admiring it, then hiding it there again before my cats get too curious! They like to use all fabrics as a napping surface, leaving loads of fur behind.
I had to phone and ask about my blood test results, since I heard nothing back. The nurse I spoke with didn’t know what was what but one of the tests was above the limit and she said the doctor will send me a LETTER! How medieval! I guess he can’t afford to call me. What if I need to ask something, shall I write back? I’m waiting for the letter in horror, I seriously hope that test wasn’t one the rheumatoid ones.
