health update…

Hope I’m not jinxing anything, but health wise I have been really well so far on my travels (touching wood, just in case).

Sure, there was a slightly upset stomach in week 2, but nothing serious.

Then there was week 3, the week of a thousand mosquito bites – fine, maybe not a thousand but definitely 30 on my legs – itchy!! 😬

Had a few dizzy spells in Tanzania but think it was my body getting used to a different diet and also not drinking enough water, because it’s all gone now.

The only irritant that I have all the time is actually a blocked nose!?! Thought it was a dust thing in Tanzania but it has not cleared after coming to Uganda…so will keep up with the nasal sprays and get over the occasional nosebleed.

So yes, very positive and all good here in terms of health. Actually feeling really great! And the permanent stress frown I had on my face is gone – people even think I am much younger than I am – have had guesses ranging from 28 to 35 – woohoo!

But when they hear I am 40 they immediately start asking why I am not married and why I don’t have children. Difficult to explain And for them to understand when the culture around this is so different from Europe to Africa…have failed a few times explaining what it means to be ‘in love’…

Anyway, so far I have had plenty of offers of impregnation and 3 marriage proposals in the past five weeks! Will keep you posted if I accept any of the offers! 😀
