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!
Get well soon x

I think we all need one of those doors to ward off evil spirits!
ReplyDeleteI need 2. Front door and back. House sized.
DeleteIn the queue! If you Google them there are some amazing ones out there.
DeleteI've always found that antibiotics either kick in very quickly or don't seem to do anything until I have finished the entire course. The last lot I had (for a UTI which had moved upstream to my kidneys) made me feel utterly wretched, but they eventually did the job. I hope that things will settle down for you very soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope it settles down soon too. Doing a Fair like this won't be much fun.
DeleteI have awoken this morning to the dulcet tones of chain saws and chippers and my drive totally blocked by lumberjacks or tree surgeons working next door!
ReplyDeleteHope those anti biotics kick in soon and save you a trip to the doctor.
Oh, that doesn't sound very peaceful. Hoping they will work but have a strong feeling they are NOT!
DeleteThat quilt with the valance looks as if it could even be a double with just the valance hanging down, not just a generous single.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon !!
It's certainly generous and comes to the edge of a double bed, with valance hanging over, just not quite big enough to say it's a double. Hope someone likes them anyway.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if infections and such are responding less well to antibiotics these days. My Mum now always needs at least two rounds before there's any discernible result. I hope you're soon feeling better. xx
