James and I were back at Randox testing yesterday morning for our PCR tests in preparation for our holiday to Dubai with Ally and Cat. Of course tests probably won’t be required for much longer as most countries are now relaxing their Covid regulations as we all move into the “live with” Covid phase. But for now it’s still required for Dubai so at 9 a.m. we turned up to be swabbed. We had chosen the 12 -14 hour results option because our flight isn’t until this evening so we had plenty of time. However as the day went on I started to get a bit worried; James has had Covid in January so I felt that I would be the most likely one to catch it now. I was mightily relieved when both of our tests came through negative at about 7 p.m. and we heard that Ally and Cat had tested negative too.
The weather has been very changeable over the last week or so, probably because we have been on the edge of the several of the storms that have been rampaging around the UK. I went for a lovely walk with Ally W in Kelvingrove Park a couple of days ago during which we were assailed by hailstones, bright sunshine and torrential rain! So I wasn’t completely surprised to wake this morning to heavy snow with our street prettily blanketed in white. James checked Glasgow Airport Departures and sure enough there were quite a few flights delayed because of the weather. Although we have a comfortable four hours between our flights at Gatwick, any snow-related delay could eat into this quickly. I need not have worried. The motorway to the airport was clear and we’re now sitting on the plane waiting for it to be de-iced. We will only be about half an hour late. What a relief.
