I took a covid test an hour ago and it came back positive so that will be why I've lost my sense of smell and taste.
Looking on the bright side of things, it will give me a chance to get on with things that need doing in the house over the next x days before I return a negative test. The guidance now is that people no longer have to isolate when testing positive but I don't want to pass it on so I'll stay in until two consecutive daily tests come back negative.
