I'm having a rather bad week, a terrible cold is preventing me from attending my lectures in university, for the past few days I've been more or less a walking deadman. :barf:
Nevertheless, I gathered all my strenght today and drove to the post office to pick up a misterious package from abroad. Well, not all that misterious, I pretty much knew what was coming.
We've talked with jc57 about my dilema when I was deciding upon which eye brand to order. More than kindly, he decided to gift me his muskrat. My only Case so far has been my chestnut CV peanut, which serves me well. Returning to my flat, I finally opened the package and almost spit my eyes out. 
A gorgeous Case CV chestnut bone muskrat, even better than I hoped it to be. Only now I really see why people are into Case. I'm glad I didn't order one from Schlieper, I had pretty bad luck with the other two. John suggested it'd make a good companion for my peanut and I tell you, the two're already making aquaintance with each other. Together with the knife, John sent me a lucky quarter, which, considering my current state, is more than welcome. I've been here on the porch only for a short time yet already I've met some great people, who prove that generosity knows no borders. This fellow travelled all the way from the States overseas to little Slovenia, my home. I feel like a simple "thank you" doesn't do it, but I promise I'll take good care after the knife and carry it with joy.
Excuse the lousy photos of mine, my phone's rather crappy and the weather isn't much better than my health atm ... The good ones are from jc57.
Great thanks to John (who's also my namesake), whose generosity ispired me. Once I get over this cold of mine, I'll do my best to start a GAW to return something to our community.
Best regards

The knife sure arrived intact, well oiled and very sharp. It fits the hand nicely and I already see it's going to be a great user. It was held in the customs office in the capital, where I study. I gave them a call and picked it up with my car. Your handwriting is completely fine. Over here we sometimes hear how many younger Americans don't use cursive anymore and aren't even taught it in school.
