VERY humid morning (for this area) and I can barely move

Out of Emerg and fed. The Rice Krispies wore off some time ago. I have a prescription for blood thinners. Life goes on.

Hope that fixes the problem without adding some others.

Thanks. So do I. Another doctor called yesterday to follow-up. It looks like my port line has shifted so he sent a note to my surgeon. That is the likely reason for the clot, so an easy, non-chemical fix presumably.

There are days, though, it would be nice to have the option to work nude

I know someone who was accustomed to working nude in the garden. As a fairly recent arrival from somewhere in eastern Europe she gave it no thought when she headed out into her veggie patch. Most of the community were horrified, though the teen boys and young men enjoyed the sight. A local minister dropped in to visit and explained the different customs in rural Canada.

She could have started a new trend

In some parts of Canada, maybe. Not in prudish old Ontario, though.

I meant a trend to make it less prudish I'd be too worried about mosquitoes biting me if I were to garden nude.

Deep Woods Off, or some such spray, might help.

Computer doesn't want to work this morning On the other hand, I finally took the Christmas tablecloth off the table and put the summer one on

Are garden gnomes un prudes ... or just unbitten? Thus they bode well there ...

Would you really put that stuff ... there.

 

[Redbaron]

If you spread enough of it around close to ... there, it should be OK. Not that I've ever tried it, though

No repellent seems to repel the mosquitoes this year

 

[Mendalla]

Haven't really had much trouble with them here as of yet, esp. with it being so dry of late. OTOH, we got our fill of them in Panama last Christmas (2 days of the tour were in a resort in the middle of the rainforest).

One would think it was too hot for them here but they are out at all hours of the day

It's not heat that is the issue, though, it's moisture. They need standing water to lay eggs so drought conditions tend to work against them. The mosquitoes in equatorial regions happily sustain temps at summer (for us) levels year round but you won't find them in the middle of the Sahara. The Amazon basin is more to their liking.

 

[BethAnne]

Then it must be more humid here than I thought because we never used to see them in the heat of the day

Hailed here today. Hail started just as I rode my bike into my driveway after a 35 km ride. Very good timing, saw some bikers going by absolutely soaked a few minutes later.
