The Kiwi gets Malaria.

Thursday 21st saw us go to Chimoio to do our shopping and banking and also to get Egon the retired dentist from Brasil. Leighton our resident Kiwi and "agricultural specialist" went with us to get rid of a bit of "cabin fever". And on Thursday evening he was cold and shivering and came down with Malaria. We were able to start treatment right away. And when on Friday after 1pm we went to fetch him at a friends house to go back to Espungabera it was very doubtful if he was going to be able to travel. But I suppose the younger you are the stronger you are! (alas!) Well he wanted to come to Espungabera and not spend another day in Chimoio. By Monday morning he was feeling much better but is still a bit weak. But every day he he is getting back to his old self. Praise the Lord!
