But it is that sort of behaviour that puts me going for a local walk. I love the thank you note too. I hope you and your family stay well and the current situation blows over soon.

That is because my previously quiet pathways are busier than usual.That would not be a problem if these people respected 'social distancing'. Mr C and I were sitting in my garden this evening enjoying a pre dinner drink. We were disturbed by a couple of people pausing on the bridle path at the back or our garden. They were swearing and cursing for several minutes before moving on. The bridle path is usually quiet with few people passing by...

But here the emphasis is the other way round. Free rather than paid for. Or is it free... Perhaps not, it is paid for by people who pay tax.

Public health is not exactly free over there, but Malaysians only have to pay nominal fees of RM1 (approx 20p, so I guess you can say it's almost free!). Dental and veterinary (also just RM1) are also heavily subsidised by our government, so I always get my teeth checked when I go back. :) But we also have a lot of private clinics, hospitals, dentists, vets etc. So if you can afford it and you don't want to wait, going private is probably the best option. This also frees up capacity for public hospitals to look after more people who can't afford to pay. We don’t have NHS in Malaysia.
