Right, time to go feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

I've just had a call from the ONS for a swab test. Apparently, the chap is coming round at 9pm tonight. It seems a funny time for a swab test. I thought it was a scam call at first. I guess I'll have to put beer o'clock back this evening.

They'll be spreading, in the fields, soon. Any farms nearby.

Well no, but you're not so far away, I'm just about 620 miles up the road according to Google. I've put an extra handfull of meal in the porridge pan for the morning.
I've a feeling my Black & Decker bench is going to be my most used kitchen tool for some time
. Any tips on holding potatoes for cleaning, and boiled eggs for eating, would be welcome.

Very interesting article in the local rag about how the increase in the number of pedestrians is putting people's lives in danger and making the roads dangerous
I'm very aware how people are stepping into the road & prefer to walk on the pavement in the direction facing the traffic, unless it is wide enough to allow me to pass people at a distance. Not that I think that the risks of passing people is great, just that others seem to.

For you both, turning said jar upside down & tapping smartly on the worktop, or other solid surface, also works.

Does sound dodgy. Mine was all done via post and courier. The sample has to be kept chilled once done. Is this mass testing an area. Generally ONS doesn’t involve someone coming round other than the courier which you book first

This is what I am waiting for, its illegal for farmers to use human poo here but there are farmers and farmers like poo, there is a man who owns a huge concrete digester not far away. I am hoping to make his acquaintance via one of his brothers.

This is a regular thing - every 4 weeks or so. The unusual bit is the day, the time and the short notice. They come round, give the swab kit, ask a few questions, I do the swabbing, hand it back, and then they're on their way. They don't come any further than the foyer. Then a couple of weeks later they send a letter with the negative box ticked and an email with a £25 gift voucher arrives.
