We did! It is a tasteful floral shade, and already going to holes.

Which means I will have to stitch it up in black thread in the local vein…

The mosquitoes were very visible. The little midges, less so.

Did you find a net? Where we were the mosquitos were practically invisible (no-see-ums)and the holes in the net we got were too big to keep the bastards out. At least malaria wasn’t really an issue for us, but insanity could have set in if the problem wasn’t resolved.

ah! i’m glad someone appreciated it. not, honestly, a high point of my linguistic travails here… z angling for a return to the mall. we are still, currently, on the wrong island. in a christian town. pros: can buy beer. cons: almost everything shut on sunday. including dispensary of chocolate and lemon fanta…

i tell you, you know you’re in the real back of beyond when people haven’t heard of david beckham, angelina jolie or princess diana. depressing, in its way.

Made me laugh out loud. Hearing only your side of the conversation was ingenious.

BTW…where are you from again and do you need a taxi?
