Living La Vida Lockdown–Day 36 More Than Ready To Serve Their Country

Ever since they caught wind of it Darrell and Nigel have been checking our mail box every morning with much robust palpable and tangible anticipation ………

…….. to see if we’re got THE letter telling us that we are one of the 20,000 households in the country to be selected to take part in the ONS COVID-19 Study.

Thus far they have only been met by disappointment, so I am afraid have had to come to the terms that this time round we are not among the chosen ones, despite being more than willing to step up to the plate to do our duty for our country.

It has to be said that Darrell, in the past, would have much preferred to be a stranger to anyone wielding a  nose or throat swab in his general direction, let alone being asked to proffer his arm to give blood sample, however, his says there will be no need for me to hand him a paper bag, because, as he must say at least 100 times a day, “……these are unprecedented times” and if his antibodies can be of use, Boris can have as many as he likes.

Nigel is of the same mind, he’s already practising swabbing his orifices of an nationally important nature with the cotton buds we keep in the bathroom, but I’ve had to tell him that practising to tap any one one of his many abundant veins may be a little premature.  What is he like?
