As the races have been cancelled, the army personnel who look after the race course were sent back to barracks yesterday. This left 500 packed lunches which they would have eaten today going spare. They were therefore distributed amongst us, so we got a free lunch today.

Yesterday’s lurid newspaper headlines mean that the whole village needs to be tested for the virus. We all went after lunch. It was a pretty slick process.

After testing we waited outside for our results.

We were all negative. In fact the doctor in charge told us there hadn’t been a single positive test all day. Later, the civil defence people all turned up for their tests – they get tested every day.

Just look at that perfect social distancing.
