Frost hollows

Had to get up early today to do a Covid swab test. Not because I think I’ve been exposed, but I’ve been randomly sampled by one of the national surveys. And the courier might come any time after 8 am. It was horrible and true to form my hyperactive reflexes got in the way (gagging, sneezing, eyes watering....). Still all done in the national interest. When I got a text that the courier wouldn’t come until after 1pm I took the chance to get out for a walk, taking in the empty golf course. Then settled in to marmalade making. Lots of it. Ginger and plain.
