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.

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