Plodding on

 No sign that the antibiotics are kicking in yet and I'm half way through the course.  I can see myself back down the Dr's tomorrow morning. Anyway, I have felt very slightly better - better enough to tackle the boxes of old stock tucked away and decide what will go.  I have even put 3 big boxes in the car, along with the spare table and both the big display shelves.  I put the final stitches in the big auction quilt last night and now it's in the washing machine.  I will take both the single hexi quilts too.

The patchwork tops are generous - unlike some which have a patchwork bit barely the width of the top of the bed and a huge valance drop to them.   With these you could if you wished take off the valance edge.

I've popped down the town to post the teacosy to Danette (enjoy it my dear), and had some venison steaks put on one side at the Butchers for Keith's birthday meal on Saturday, and had an early lunch of a small bowl (half a tin) of Oxtail soup and the last muffin, buttered, and will take myself off to the sofa shortly to rest up.

I had a good mix of tv yesterday - episode 8 of Rivals last night; several of Dave's Countryside Walks on Youtube, where he roams parts of Dorset and the New Forest very familiar and comforting to me with his Whippet Logan; Kate and the Last Homely House; a couple of archaeology programmes and a Who Do You Think You Are.

This morning I've been researching Berber doors and found that mine is called a Jajouj door.  Apparently they are believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits, and protect from bad luck and misfortune.  They can also bring good luck and fortune.  Mine will be much cheaper than the examples I've found on line, some of which are well into four figures!
