Happy Monday
Hi all,
hope you had a great weekend. We had a good one ourselves, and ended the day with sitting on the balcony having a drink, then grilling up a steak and veggies on the BBQ. The only bad part right now is I am covered in moscuito bites from Friday, when I walked to Shawnesy and back, with all the rain we had, there was lots of standing water for moscuito breeding.
Now, lemme tell ya, back in Bermuda, the moscuitoes are pretty small, and they are also pretty "shy", they seem only to bite at nightime when you are asleep. Here these things are huge, and they are very agressive, they will keep coming after you until they either get thier fill or you smash them. My arms and legs are covered in bites, and these bites seem to be bigger and itchier than the Bermuda ones.
We have to go to Regina in August, last time we were there in the summer I stayed indoors, cause they were having a big moscuito outbreak then as well. These things were even more aggressive! Not only did they suck your blood, but the punched you as well, to give you more bruises.
Other than that, at least they don't seem to be hanging around the condo complex, just the grassy areas (so far).
Not much else to report, everyone keep it safe.
