I've made arrangements to collect my Dawes today as it's likely to be wet to do much else.

Good morning from Suffolk where it's everything yesterday wasn't - dry, bright, sunny & warm. Coffee and paracetamol have been had and the worst of the sore throat has been replaced by a stiff shoulder where I must have slept in the wrong position. No idea what I'm doing later - I'll give it a couple of hours to see how I feel and make my decision then.

Opened a new box of tests this afternoon, and these were definitely the el cheapo version. There was far less of the suspension solution for each test, the swabs were so thin it was like trying to shove cooked spaghetti up your nose and the nice little touches you got in the earlier boxes - like the stand for your vial - were non existent. OK, I shouldn't complain because they were still free, but you can definitely see where the bean counters were economizing.

Anyways, time for a

Somewhere at the back of a cupboard I've got a couple of boxes of the tests from when they were given out freely, but I have a feeling they may have a best before/use by date of about a year ago.

Edit: found them and they have expiry dates from May 2023 to November 2023!
