Covid tests here are valid for 48 hours. So when daughter-in-law number two told us she´d bring Cassian so that she´d be able to do the testing without having to chase after her son I did not think much- at first. Then she got tested first then came for a visit. Only when she had left I did the maths. Getting tested at five means she´ll have to leave about 16.45 tomorrow, because at 5PM her test will no longer be valid, and it will take her 15 minutes to the town´s borders. It´s not about the cooking, hubby and daughter have promised to help so that we can eat at 2 o´clock. Son got tested today, so he is in no hurry, but I wonder if his wife will for once be able to leave in time. Bibi is unpunctuality herself. She´d be late to her own funeral. I do not even want to envision what will happen if she is late this time. Rules are strict- no valid test, no voyage out.
I had to restock on wool for the baby blanket today, so I left town five minutes before my test lost validity. And- huzzah- today was the day when baby wool was half prize only! Wool is quite expensive here. Bamboo yarn is extraordinarely expensive, though I do not know why. Bamboo yarn would be the best for Cassian who suffers from neurodermatitis. Next time I might order via LoveCraft. The bamboo yarn I want is half the price I´d have to pay in my favourite wool shop. And there´s no acrylic in it...now I will have to read their terms of shipment. Maybe my friend will order some wool also, then the shipping charges won´t be that high!
