Funny Tummy

After 5 months of living in Africa I finally succumbed to an upset stomach. I hoped it would run its course and clear up in 48 hours. I was not so lucky and was still running down the garden path for nearly a week. After 2 days my neighbours diagnosed me, wrote me a prescription and bought my antibiotics from the pharmacy for me. I received treatment from the hospital without having to set foot into the hospital grounds! I paid a grand total of 50p for 2 seven day courses of antibiotics and after several days of eating oatcakes and plain pasta I was back to full health and appetite.
Sorry for the blog silence for the past 2 months. My laptop died so accessing the internet has been more difficult and more sporadic.
I hope I will be able to bring you up to date with my adventures over the next few days - internet speed allowing.
