Here is what our reader Natalia wrote to us:

I am 60 years old, I teach at the university. With quarantine, I had to master new tools: I began to conduct zoom webinars, created several video lectures. And we also remained isolated with an old mother - she is 89 - and a grandson - he turned seven in quarantine. Every day I communicate with my daughters on Skype. The day is filled to the limit - with the grandson of music, mathematics and English, reading. We also created a YouTube channel with him, posting his fantastic LEGO buildings. With my mother - exercises, massage, I also walk the dog. I also do all sorts of exercises myself (otherwise my back hurts from sitting at the computer) and mastered the mesoscooter, which was presented a long time ago, but my hands did not reach. So, the achievements: I mastered the padlet, miro, zoom, I have several good video lectures in my luggage, created a YouTube channel for my grandson, learned how to edit videos, cured my mother’s sore, which didn’t go away for two years (just a sore, but it didn’t go away).

And the dacha has already begun, you can get out, everything is blooming. Very beautiful.
