The left hand knows what the right hand has been through

Had a blood sample taken for a haemoglobin test yesterday; a pin-prick on the side of the last joint of my right middle finger, soon forgotten.

Picked up a bundle of tongue and grooved boards that had been taken off a boat deck yesterday evening and put a nail through the side of the last joint of my left middle finger. Sucked on that until it stopped leaking.

I noticed this morning that the two injuries look very similar and lie about 7mm away from precise symmetry. Life aspires to art.
