Over the past three days we've been collecting poo samples for Jasper's Wormcount parasite check. It's well overdue because of logistics while I have a gammy knee, but is much easier while OH is on holiday.
Only when I went to put the third and final poo sample in the little plastic box today, I found that because of the warm weather, what was already in there had gone fluffy... (I'd left it in a shady spot in the garden - you're not meant to refrigerate it.)
I rang the company to ask if I should start all over again when the weather was a bit cooler - oh no, absolutely fine, they said - they occasionally get samples that have been stuck in the post for over a week so are used to it all!
I'm sticking to my job - they can keep theirs
