Pinged

 The Gorse Fox woke up to a message from his little sister. "Have you been asked to self-isolate?" Well, no. It appears that they had got up early to meet with some friends and head to the Goodwood Festival of Speed but just as they approached their friends' house they saw they had been pinged by the NHS Covid App and told to isolate for 5 days. That was the end of their trip to Goodwood... but the question was, where was the potential exposure? As we had not been pinged, the assumption had to be that it was the wedding they attended after leaving the hotel last week. (Which was a relief for us).

The Gorse Fox is feeling a bit better today. His appetite is returning and now he just feels as if he has a bit of a cold. Despite this, we contacted Betty and Barney Rubble who we were meant to visit tomorrow and postponed the visit for a couple of weeks.

We did a quick top-up shop this morning, then pottered around at home. At midday, the Red Arrows put on their display over Goodwood, some of which we were able to see from the upstairs windows. Apparently, Ellie and her chums from Dizzy Ducklings were taken out to watch the display. Talking of which, she finished early today at 1 o'clock due to staff sickness. We went along to collect her and gave her some time to let off steam in the park. Pistol Pete will be coming along to collect her later, once the Gorse Fox has given her dinner.
