Seeking: Needle Point Loafer Kit

I want to make my own. Not with owls but with something else. Where can I buy a kit to do this?

Demain! Je vais aller au Avignon. En avignon?

I can smell a crime a mile away...

I told you so!

Hold that thought...

So, the clever folks at Homerton Hospital's respiratory clinic have not yet actually decide if I have TB or not. Public health, in theory, is a good thing. Let me tell you, it is a pain in the neck to be at the receiving end of it. I spent 2 hours on Thursday trying to get the conclusive "purple box" blood test. Hypothetically, if I do have TB, I can't even go to the fancy Swiss rest homes (where I could work on my German while reclining) as the Home Office still has my passport.

update

I don't have tb. I've known this for months, but have been to lazy to update it. apparently, I live in a council with a high tb rate. Not because of the immigrants- we immigrants are tested and treated if need be- but because of our friends who visit us and bring their rotten tb germs.

my arm has tuburculosis

Hackney is a TB zone. Please see image of Mantoux test from wikipedia and then my own welt.



Lets hope my lungs don't have it too!

ugh, the pain of immigration

So, dear reader. I am an immigrant. Usually, it is ok, seeing as I speak the same language and was educated here, but sometimes I really feel it. Particularly when I'm carrying lots and lots. Once, I was walking over one of those sad pedestrian foot bridges over a very busy overpass separating one sad neighborhood from an even sadder one- the kind at the end of Lilya 4-ever- carrying a plastic bag that was very heavy and I felt, this is my immigrant experience. Christoph, also an immigrant, thinks I'm belittling REAL immigrants when I complain. I don't mean to.
