Day 25

1000: Found two mummies in a large, solid lump of mummified tissue today - I sincerely hope the farmer has recorded these in his farm database, because if he hasn't, he needs his eyes retested!

1200: Went out to the farm this morning to get some more samples. We're (fairly) systematically going through the whole farm to try and get an idea of where the Salmonella is lurking. Arrived back and innoculated a few of last weeks' samples into TSI agar, then ran. I have my first driving lesson at 2.30pm today, and I need to have a bath before I go - there's no way any sane person will sit in a warm car with me for two hours in my current state!

1700: Back from driving lesson. I used to have nightmares about driving, so I was more or less terrified for the last two hours. My hands are still shaking!
