After almost a year of doing nose and throat swabs for the ONS Covid survey, they've just written me asking me to do blood tests as well. I'm not sure how easy I'm going to find getting my own blood samples out of my fingers. If I ever have a bleed my first reaction is to stop it but going in the opposite direction - from no bleed to starting one - might prove a bit harder. I don't suppose it's any worse than the kind of thing some diabetics have to do as a matter of course.
Oh well, I'll give it a try. If it goes smoothly, that's me awash in gift vouchers until April 2022!
Oh, and I'm drinking a particularly strong coffee.
