Everything is here, everything is ready for our walk today. The morning temperature of ten degrees Celsius requires these measures of preparation, suitable clothes before I step out into the street. I'm still thinking about taking with me an umbrella or not because in our region they haven't announced any new storms like in some other parts of Spain (@avdesing, @xaviduran, @palomap3, @ninaeatshere - how about the weather in your places?) but I can see that some parts of the asphalt are wet. It was definitely raining during the night so the plants on the balcony were already naturally watered, but right now this walk could take place without an umbrella. _{(...alas, a small umbrella found its place in my bag after all, just in case.)}

Let's go.

Our destination for today's walk is the health care centre. Just paperwork this time.
I don't know how it is in the place where you live, but here in Spain if you change the city, or even the part of the city you live in then you should report it to the health care centre. They then determine the centre you belong to and assign your new general practitioner.

I feel a bit sorry about changing my GP, as the one I had until now has become like a friend. Her daughters played the violin in the same music conservatory as my son, so we used to see each other at the concerts, in the orchestra rehearsals etc. My son was also her patient; there was a very high level of trust but well, now we will have to start trusting our newly assigned doctor.

On the way to our new healthcare centre, we crossed a nice neighbourhood with gardens, trees and flowers. My husband pointed out these purple ones.

I think the most common plant that grows around the fences here in this part of Spain is Bougainvillea. I know that this is a terrible photo as the red little flowers in combination with the white/grey sky resist being captured in a photo.

The white version of the same flowers gives me more tranquillity; one doesn't have to fight with their colour. They also contrast nicely with the green leaves of the bush.

Not Bougainvillea here, but still, they found their way into this post.

The nurse who attended us was very kind. Surprisingly, the whole change has been done quickly and now we have new health cards and a new doctor. I saw that her name was Isabel; hope to have a good and trustful relationship with her.

The main motive of our morning walk today has been successfully completed, all that remained was to return home getting to know these nice houses.

And so, we didn't even get wet - the clouds were weak... which means that Mister Umbrella just took a walk with us, without the need to protect us from rain.

Walk without rain - tick. 😁
