For once I've had a pretty lazy day; I didn't even want to blog this evening. To be honest I have just woken up from a few hours siesta, after taking lunch and a few pints at Rogers in Plaza Mayor. It's the first time I've had anything alcoholic to drink in six weeks. It's also the first time I've been out since I've given up smoking, preferring to stay away, until I was finally happy that there was no risk of having a sneaky cigarette. Thankfully I avoided the dreaded sticks, only had three pints and had something a little healthier to eat....Well relatively speaking. We both had the delicious homemade quiche, always fantastic and tasty.

In the morning it was a trip up to the Doctors surgery. Presently I have a private prescription for my medication; at a cost of 30€ it's not cheap. Whilst I picked up my blood pressure medication from the Pharmacy, Darrell made an appointment for me to see Dr Martinez. I was a little reluctant to go, since we had no interpreter with us; however the good lady Doctor spoke English well; sadly no prescription though. I didn't have the right forms with me; typical for Spain. Still getting an appointment there and then, on the same day is pretty amazing, far better than the UK. When I go back in a couple of days, I can then purchase the same meds for 8€, a big difference in price.

Tonight I've been watching a bit of 'Are You Being Served,' spending a quiet evening in front of the box, after an afternoon of vintage comedy on ITV3; just what the Doctor ordered!
