TUESDAY 12 OCTOBER     HEALESVILLE

In the morning, I phoned and cancelled the meals we had planned for tonight and tomorrow, with John’s brother and my brother – because John was feeling so ill. He went to a local doctor and was prescribed anti-biotics for the throat.

Later in the day, I started to feel like I was coming down with something similar. Can’t be tonsillitis, because I do not have any, but something akin to that. Not fair!
