She overcame a series of unfortunate events, including Covid-19

Just because there’s a pandemic and you get infected doesn’t make you immune to other forms of bad luck — like a tree falling through your roof and having no electricity for nearly three days.“It was around June 22 when I had an ache behind the eye and a feeling like shingles on my skin, but not as bad,” she said.That came in week two, along with the “the typical dry cough, more tiredness and nausea, and an upset stomach”.

It was “quite a range of symptoms, but nothing too dire”, she says, adding that she was in bed for three days.“Having a tree fall through the roof — that was a real shot of adrenaline!” she added.“We heard a big crack and the Norfolk pine tree had split. The one half came crashing into the house,” she said.“It was a real Lemony Snicket Series of Unfortunate Events,” she said, referring to the popular series of books.

“Now my husband and I are both fine. We were lucky that it was all rather mild as we are bordering on 60. I have been for a walk on the mountain and I clearly don't have any persisting symptoms.”
