@Hoppipolla. A very late reply to this thread as I have not been on this forum for a while. I am sorry it hear that you lost your mum, during the Pandemic. I have still not fully got over it, 2 years later. As for covid, 2 years after I got it, I reckon have got over 95% of my sense of smell back, however certain smells are badly distorted. It was a very strange virus!
