These are testing times for Robert Gold Standard Hosking of Paddington: I go to my office Christmas party, and get served by colleagues from the northern beaches. So, get tested on the Friday and self-isolate. Result comes back negative on Saturday. Joy! With relief, go out for a lovely takeaway coffee from my favourite local coffee shop, The Alimentari! Second test in six days. This COVID-19 thing is really getting up my nose! We re happy to report that Robert s follow-up was also negative. He s now had four in total. The recent duck tape (C8) mentions remind me of the bargain-shop owner on Park Street many years ago advertising a display of gecko blasters, writes Alan Potter of Paddington.
