Clapton Cashmere



Image from here. So it looks like my plan of raising cashmere goats might be easier than I expected.

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?

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!
