Not Malaria…

 

   Nope, it wasn’t malaria. I live for another day! I’ve felt dizzy all day today, nothing like yesterday though. I pulled into a dodgy supermarket on the way home – its called a “Score” supermarket and it’s name implies the only decent stuff you’re going to get there. Nothing legal. I was desperate for a stale loaf of bread and some sour milk so I stopped in and bought a chocolate bar at the counter. I took one bite and felt a million times better – it was phenomenal! I’m still drinking heaps of water and am not quite 100% but I should be sound by tomorrow.

 

   Went along to a farmers’ meeting today which was only slightly useful for my research but hear this great argument by members of the Dingleydale community about corruption allegations against a group who are doing an infrastructure rehabilitation programme. Every bugger was throwing his two cents in and making it sound more like two Rand.

 

  Interviewed a couple of other farmers and now have done eight farmer interviews. Won’t go back to Dingleydale because there’s heaps of other areas I should go to and quite frankly, I find the place a bit of a hole. There’s nothing obviously wrong with it but sometimes you just get a bit of a crap feeling about a place.

 

  Got the football game tomorrow and Sunday I intend to write up some interviews but apart from that I intend to do bugger all minus one. The intention is that before the game tomorrow I go to Hoedspruit and get these journals up on the internet. I won’t bother with pictures or anything until I get to an internet café I can trust. Isn’t it cool how Microsoft puts that little thing on the top of the e in café? And how it puts the tail on the c in Moçambique? Wicked, eh? It also changes the m in Microsoft to a capital if you’re callus enough to use a small m. I mean, what if I used the word Microsoft not referring to the company? There you go, its done it again! Bastards! It won’t recognise the capital in bastard cash-quick enterprises? No, I’ve gotta do the capital B myself!

 

I think I’d better go eh?

 

See yous soons,
