It would be something of an understatement to write that 2020 has been a difficult year for us, and billions of others on this planet. We have coped and adjusted and are fortunate to be in a situation where we can still enjoy “life” here in Cyprus. Restrictions come and go, and we abide by them.
I found wearing a mask indoors to be very demanding and claustrophobic. It is mandatory and I very much wanted to shield Ann from having to do the shopping. But, a chance encounter, has made that particular problem much less so. On one of the expat forums of which I am a member, a lady (from whom we bought some garden furniture a few years ago) was extolling the virtues of a mask. It is called an HeiQ Viroblock Mask, and has been designed in Switzerland. It offers Antimicrobial properties and was found to be effective in protecting wearers from previous coronavirus epidemics. To cut a long story short I met Maggie and her husband and bought four masks from her (she had apparently bought a batch of twenty, not realising that they can be washed up to thirty times). This mask is triple-layered and the layer next to the face stays dry and is therefore comfortable to wear and to breathe through.
They are therefore ideal for us and I highly recommend them. You can see the details and buy them here ...
So we are as safe as we can be, and will take whatever precautions that we believe to be necessary. But Ann will stress, and she is right to do it, that we came to Cyprus to have “Fun in the Sun” and that is what we shall do. Now how many shopping days are there to Christmas?
