With all this rain, the mosquitoes are swarming in droves (are those the correct words to describe "a lot of mosquitoes"?). And several times this past week, I've been woken up in the middle of the night by a mosquito buzzing around my head - inside my mosquito net! Not only is this somewhat annoying, it could also be somewhat harmful to one's health - one bad mossy bite, and you could be down with malaria. When I first got back here in Jb, I started taking a look at the net that was on my bed, and it was not in good shape at all. But, they're hard to find here, and I'm going to Nairobi in a few weeks, so I've put a new net on my list of things to buy.
But these mosquitoes have been seriously attacking me at night and really disturbing me. So tonight, it finally dawned on me that I had taken a relatively new net out of it's original packaging a few weeks ago to put on the bed where my guest was sleeping. Since then, it's just been hanging on the poles, doing nothing but collecting dust. D'uh. Why didn't I just take that new-ish one a long time ago and put it up on my bed?! So finally, tonight, I'm sure I will sleep soundly, cocooned in my new-ish mosquito net!
