I was about 4 or 5 weeks. Taste came back first but nasal area still causes problems. Least hint of a cold and my sense of smell goes do-lally. It's the phantom smells that are the worst. I still smell Condor sliced pipe tobacco! (My Dad smoked it hence why I know the smell). Last night I had to have a hot shower and a coat of Vicks before I went to bed as it was bothering me again! I'm OK today though.
My sense of taste kept coming and going after Covid. It was still a bit dodgy for a brief time last month, but that may well have been the tail end. I keep smelling burning engine oil - not necessarily while in or near the car and not all the time. That still continues - that's since March 2020. I think I am just about over the breathing difficulties now as well. It is obviously different for everyone.
Couldn't find the smoked haddock for my 2nd meal today, so I had plain, unsmoked haddock, baked in the oven with butter and finished with some double cream and some mushy green (frozen) peas. Very nice it was too.
While whatever Neil did to the electrics in the car seems to have fixed the problem with the battery draining all the time, when he was checking the whole system, using 2 different things to measure the current (no idea what they are called), something blew fuses in both of the pieces of equipment, so there's something still wrong with the whole system. I commented that I like the Scenic as a car and he agreed but he says he doesn't like whoever designed and built the electrical system in it - the whole setup is illogical and, in his mind, a complete mess. Logic is something very valuable to Neil with his Asperger mindset.
