Review: New Covid-19 protective face mask with 99.6% filtration efficiency created by British inventor
Feb 15 2021
As we heading out of the latest lockdown on 8th March, I have been looking for a new more protective face mask. Compared to the common reusable fabric mask which filters 2-38% of particles, the British designed and produced K-mask promises to filter 99.6% of particles (independently tested to ASTM F2100, ASTM FT101 and EN 1486 standards.) The uptake of these masks will undoubtedly help protect the user and spread of Covid-19.
Who are the most romantic literary lovers of all time?
Feb 14 2021
You don’t need to be a book worm or a fan of romantic literature to know some of the most famous literary lovers of all time. My personal favourites are Francesca and Robert from The Bridges of Madison County that is a wonderful book by Robert James Waller beautifully adapted to the big screen by Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. I also love the couple from The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks (also a movie starring Ryan Gosling). Unsurprisingly, although the story may be a tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, who were created in the 16th century by William Shakespeare still embody the passion and true love we all wish to experience in our lifetimes. It was also great to see some more contemporary book lovers make the final list, such as life-long lovers Jack and Ennis from Brokeback Mountain as well as Anastasia and Christian from Fifty Shades of Grey.

Some people adore Valentine’s Day and look forward to it eagerly. Others of us are less keen on the day itself. I count myself amongst the latter group. After all love and appreciation for a partner as well as the other significant people in our lives is something we should be sharing with them across the whole year!
However, Valentine’s Day has become part of our culture so perhaps we can spend it this year demonstrating our appreciation and also thinking about little things we can do across the year to make all our relationships stronger.
