Geoff writes: a cloudy day, with some sun. We were considering going out in the afternoon, but Judith went to the doctor to see about her coccyx, which has been paining her for months now. She tried to go in the UK, but there wasn’t enough time – the GP referred her to the hospital ‘urgently’ for an MRI scan, but it took months for her appointment to come up, and when it did, it was after we were leaving for Spain. Here, she went to the doctor, who said she needed x-rays, so then went immediately to the hospital, where she was x-rayed within 20 minutes; then back to the doctor. He has referred her to a specialist, but probably she will be able to get an appointment for that within a week or so.

I think – though I’m not sure – that the reason everything is so much faster in Spain is that there is a much higher ratio of doctors (and medical staff generally) to the general population, than there is in the UK. Anyway, medical treatment here is much, much faster than we would ever get in the UK.

So, we didn’t get to fly, but I did get to do a lot of work.
