Oh, ick....

 I woke up this morning with such a strange non-taste in my mouth, slightly metallic, but also slightly not there at all, that I immediately thought 'Oh, shit!'. When I could barely taste freshly brewed coffee either I hunted out the last set of government issue Covid tests and did one, well actually two because this set is crap compared to others I've had and the first one left me with no liquid to drip onto the test strip. It came back as negative (so did the one I did at the weekend when symptoms suddenly switched from sinus to throat), but I should probably do a few more over the next few days, and definitely before travelling up to see my folks.

Taste now seems to be back to normal, thankfully, though I had to make myself eat earlier, I really had no appetite for anything but slurping coffee - I worked my way through a complete cafetiere full in the couple of hours after waking up.
