15th June, 2024.
Right … Saturdays … Is the day of the week to be doing something.
If you have the time, money or inclination!
Which frankly?
I don’t!
No … I intend to watch TV at some option, today.
The penultimate episode of Dr Who’s on!
~≈👨🏿⚕️≈~
Did I mention my pharmacist is wonderful?
My pharmacist is wonderful!
I’ve run out of one specific medication — Trulicity — yesterday.
And, at the time I picked up the rest of my meds?
They had no alternatives.
However … ?
I managed to email my pharmacist: who was able to recommend a couple of (thankfully available) alternatives.
Hopefully, when I talk to the surgery on Tuesday?
We’ll be able to sort something out.

* Hello, Mum!
† They’re a similar sort of age to some of the UK’s heavy weights, then, Olga. Yes: the concert shows up! I’m going to have to stream it over to my telly, though! I’d imagine the one at the book shop would’ve been quite something! Small venue gigs can be very intimate!
I think ‘dharma’ crops up in Hinduism and Jainism, as well as Buddhism: it’s one of those Indian concepts that’s got around, a bit!
‡ It sounds like Rick would get on with a Discworld character called Rincewind, Debbi! (Remind me to mention The Last Continent: Rincewind’s potato fixation get a mention.)

Yes, you're right about Dharma and about the concert. It was lovely to be so close by, and I got there quite early, so I saw them rehearsing, adjusting the sound, etc. The percussionist used a percussion box (un cajón), rather than a full battery, that wouldn't have fitted in there, and a tambourine. I was fascinated because he had the tambourine seemingly just resting on his knee, but when he stood up I realised that it was fixed there. Very handy!
At the concert they collaborated with a lot of well-known local musicians, and they told me they were all new collaborations, apart from Maria del Mar Bonet, whom they've played with in the past.
About their age, yes, you're right. It's the most veteran group in the whole of Spain. It was quite funny because Maria, the sister who plays keyboards, commented that people would still tell her that she was "new", and she reminded us that she had been playing in the band for 35 years already!
The pharmacists and their suggestions sound really useful. I hope you can sort it all out.
