COVID: update

I don’t have a huge amount of time to write a post this week, for reasons that I won’t go into this week but will hopefully tell you about next week. (I know, very mysterious.) But after a rather low post last week, I didn’t want to skip a week without saying anything.

The good news is that, two days after I wrote that post, the COVID test came back negative. Finally. One day I may write that light-hearted look at what it’s like to go to a test centre, but when problems with the system are still in the news, now doesn’t seem the time.

I was already starting to feel better by the time the test came back, and of course the result was a further relief. It was very nice to be able to go for a walk in our usual spots near Oxford again, one of which I’ve already told you about; the others will have posts soon, I promise.

Anyway, that was all for this week. I’ll be back next week, hopefully with more words!
