It’s all getting a bit hectic with us. We’re trying to get things scheduled for the few slots we have available in the next two weeks or things will be pushed past Christmas. We had to make my traumatologist appointment in person, and the only time my mum (Catalan – English interpreter/moral support) and I are here at the same time in the foreseeable future is the 19th November, so Geoff and I went off to make the appointment today. To make a long story short, I can’t be seen in a public hospital other than in an emergency, which makes sense… if I could, on an EHIC card, then health tourism would be the #1 reason for coming here. Other than the near non-stop sun, fantastic food, great flying, wild fiestas and lovely people, that is.

As we were already driving past Bellmunt, it made sense to go there to fly, although others had gone to Santa Brigida and Sant Pere de Rodes. It looked great. Vultures were thermalling and it was hot, with the forecast temperatures being 23C. Since we were on our own, I offered to drive for Geoff. I’m not sure what happened, maybe he launched in a bad cycle, but he sunk out quickly, and although he hit a good thermal in the valley, was down before I managed to drive down. We couldn’t decided wether it was best to drive back up for me to fly, or if we should go to Santa Brigida, where both of us could fly. A call to Oriol confirmed that we should go to Santa Brigida. We got there to see Sergi and Oriol high and rushed up, but by the time we got ready and off, it was a short flight. I top landed to have a chat with Sergi and Geoff flew until it got scratchy a little while later and he went down. It was probably ok again later, but we still had a lot of stuff to do, so headed back home via a few errands in Olot. And now more work… I have processed more than 90 bookings for our conferences since Tuesday, and they keep coming!
