Found two unused lateral flow tests in the chest of drawers. The first one, I clumsily spilt the buffer solution on the table; the second, I tested positive for the novel coronavirus, which is not so novel any more (late to the party as ever).
Oh well, quite good timing I suppose, hadn’t made any plans so didn’t have to cancel any. There’s no law against going out and infecting people these days, but I didn’t feel like going anywhere. And after a just a few days I stopped coughing and started feeling better, what a lucky fellow I am.
Got a newer digital watch that can measure one’s blood oxygen level, and was reassured that my blood is full of oxygen. Technology! Not knowing my normal blood oxygen level as a baseline, I didn’t find it that useful actually, but … the screen’s a bit bigger than the old one.

Noises! Thought a neighbour had a noisy washing machine, until I realised it was a pair of Chinooks flying overhead. Then, some cockneys who’d hired a boat and moored it outside were running the boat engine overnight, the money saving mindset too ingrained to countenance paying for an electric hookup at the yacht station half a mile upstream. These are just observations, not complaints – I slept soundly.

📺 Sherwood is quite affecting. Yes, I too was expecting a biopic of Tim Sherwood, but it’s something else altogether, at least he hasn’t turned up yet, ha ha.

📻 A few great calls in the last hour of Saturday’s Allan Beswick radio programme (moon dust, jigsaw puzzles), but then a racist child phoned up and blurted out some hate speech – that’s what happens when you have austerity and close all the youth clubs – so it’s not available for listening again on the BBC Sounds.
