Yesterday, I was working on organising our annual health MOTs, merrily trying to arrange the first major appointments for the 25th, forgetting that it is a National Holiday (Independence Day), so I’m having to start again this morning – hey ho! Old age, probably. Better get that checked out, too.
There’s no need to worry, we do this every year and have done so for about the last nine or ten years. At the momen,t I am under a private health insurance plan, and must be for another four years, or for as long as I can afford it. I am also insured under the Greek national health system via Neil’s contributions, but that only covers me for as long as he stays employed by someone else, and as that’s never 100% guaranteed, I need my private insurance as a fall-back. This is in case he should ever be unable to work or unable to find a job during the next four years. In other words, if I don’t send the husband out into the rice fields or down the tin mine for at least the next four years, my national entitlement stops, and without the private policy, I might not be covered. I’m too far into it and too far along the road to stop the private one now and try to get back to it later if needed. I’d lose my equivalent of a no-claims bonus, I guess.
Anyway, as part of my policy, we get a whole set of tests done for a pre-paid, set price, and it includes the services of our insurance lady, who will make the arrangements for us, and/or help me set everything up, so, bearing in mind yesterday’s confusion, I may just ask her to take over. Might be safer, eh? Besides that, with nothing of any consequence to report, I have an end-of-the-week gallery for you, with five recent photos and five older ones mixed together. The older five were taken at various times of the year, though I think most are at least a couple of years old. Have a good weekend.
