shewhomustThis morning over breakfast we picked up the notification that our PCR tests were negative; actually sent just before midnight, barely 12 hours after taking the test.
This was a relief. Not so much the negative result, as I had not seriously considered any other possibility (whether this demonstrates realism or denial is left as an exercise for the reader). But I had anticipated a weekend of self-inflicted self-isolation, while we waited for the all clear, and was pleased to be able to call J. and tell her that we would, after all, be able to keep our lunch date -
So that was today: out to J's, wrangle her computer, eat lunch, accompany her to village Christmas fête (so many tombolas) and back again, return home via Lidl (buying herring and poppyseed stollen and the riesling with the wombat on the label, hooray!). Time for a cup of tea and an update.
What I have not done is move any closer to preparing for Christmas: we have already received our first card, and it's time we bought some to send... Nor have I bought any presents, at all. I seem to have forgotten how to shop. With the exception, obviously, of overindulging in treats, seasonal and perennial, from Lidl.
