* don't get the test site mixed up with local dogging meet either

My first Covid test was at a drive through. When they came to check through the window that I'd done it right it got rejected due to a massive bogie being in the end of the swab. I was very embarrassed.

It's always worth giving your nose a good blow before taking the swab.

Now that's a very useful tip and maybe one to appear on the Gov.UK official guidelines re successful testing! How snot to get a test rejected?

I am relieved. I'm double vaxed and know all the logic but I really would rather not get it.

It must be a huge relief. Would have been a horrible legacy from your weekend away.

Something rather odd and unexpected about today's dashboard stats.

Today's dashboard cases are 39k, yesterday's were 48k and Saturday's were 54k.

Apart from reported vaccinations in NI over the latest 24 hour period being lower for some reason or other, there's been no reports of any hitches concerning the counting of cases on the dashboard site during the same period.

The largest drops in cases within the latest 24 hour period have been in England and Scotland, the latter below 2k cases for the first time in a few weeks.

A 'pleasant' puzzle!!

Half the staff at the testing centre either got pinged or pissed off down the beach and chucked a sickie?

Some areas of the North East were showing a slow down which is promising.

Passport time for crowded venues.

Also reported was 35% of under 30s completely unvaccinated. Hardly surprising seeing how first jabs have been declining after the initial rush in this group.

Day 5 lateral flow test negative. One more to go!!

Add in also that over a third of Londoners are unvaccinated, making it the area with the lowest take-up in England.
