Sabine, who lives in Germany, is video-calling her friend Rachel in the UK.

Sabine: Rachel: that I can spend time with my family. When I think about what staff have to cope with, staying at home is a small sacrifice to make. How are you doing?

We’re fine, really. But I wanted to ask how you are. I’ve been meaning to call you for such a long time. I’m so glad we’ve finally both found the time to talk.
