Testing

I’ve been doing the ZOE COVID app for ages. Last week I reported a sore throat on it and on Friday they asked me to do a test, I opted for a home test. This arrived at 4.45pm on Monday (yesterday). The first step is to book collection, which can only be booked between 8am and 4pm...

This morning I booked collection for Wednesday (tomorrow). The test has to be done between 9pm the night before collection and 7am on the day of collection. At 10pm I had a go. The scraping the swan on tonsils without touching your tongue proved almost impossible but at least I didn’t vomit on the swab - it would seem I have a good gag reflex!! Glad I didn’t have to do it in a car park!!

In other news, I almost made a monumental work cock up but saved it, and therefore my reputation, by the skin of my teeth. Thankfully we had a socially distanced birthday Gin Club in a back garden to recover from the trauma!! It almost felt like normality had returned for a sunny couple of hours.
