We had a busy day already planned as two Doctor's appointments had already been scheduled. Since Malta id 4.5 hours ahead of Sri Lanka, I woke up early and decided to take a walk and see if I could get pictures of the partial lunar eclipse. I walked to the north and along the waterfront before shooting off into the interior and circling back to our place. I kept looking for the moon but there were no open views to the west. I returned back to the apartment and had our regular morning, wordle, connections, tea drinking and breakfast. Laundry was still a priority so we knocked out a few more loads, then we had a bite of lunch before going to the doctor. Luckily our Doctor was a woman which we both prefer. I got some blood drawn and we stopped off at the pharmacy. I could not get all of my prescriptions because the Doc forgot to put the strength of the eczema cream on the prescription. While I was at the pharmacy I got a call from the folks who drew my blood and they needed me to return for another blood draw. It is never easy...but I got the blood drawn, saw the doctor and she fixed the script and off we went.
