Got mosquitoes?

It’s been brutal lately.

I don’t know how Syd managed with his face uncovered. His beard probably helped.

I dug out a bit of mosquito netting I haven’t used since I bought it 25 years ago in Australia. Not perfect, but not bad.

Thanks for asking, but…

…no, not a good night’s sleep. Those are fresh blood spots on the wall above the bed, from nocturnal mosquito-hunting.

The technique is to hold a flashlight parallel to the wall then move it away from and back towards the wall. The mosquitoes’ shadows give them away even when you can barely see them otherwise.
