breaking news


Pete, suffering from hyponcondria, is convinced he is going to die most days, but today it might have been true! He got bitten by an insect in the bush, and yesterday we noticed that there was a red track running up his arm starting under his watch, where the bite was trapped. This morning, as the line had lengthened and nearly reached his armpit, we decided to get him to a doctor, who this afternoon prescribed him a course of antibiotics for his "lymphangitis" : an infection of the lymph vessel that can potentially be very serious... anyway the patient is well and i have no doubt he will be milking it all the way!
