Here is what our reader Anna wrote to us:
Hi all. For so many months I escaped from the clutches of the coronavirus, but it came by itself to the organization where I work. Fortunately, all the sick feel more or less well and get sick at home. I personally found a lot of advantages in all this. Firstly, I have the opportunity to work at a brand new desk in a brand new comfortable chair (I am an architect and I have the opportunity to work remotely). Secondly, I spend the whole day with my Peach (that's my dog's name), she is generally a very positive and active girl, so I don't get bored. What is worth watching her daily conflict with the bicycle that is in the room, scream!
The only thing I really miss is my lost sense of smell. But this also has a plus: until you lose, you don’t appreciate it to the right extent. Oh, how I will enjoy bergamot tea and buttered toast when the disease subsides and the ability to taste and smell returns to me! I wish all of us good spirits and good mood every day! "Medusa" van love!
