My fight with a mosquito...

Last night, just when I was settling down in a nice, comfortable position in bed, I heard it. The clear 'buzz buzz buzz' of my arch enemy, the Mosquito. It was close. I contemplated simply closing my eyes and being done with it - but then I remembered how tasty I am to those retched things. I think I'm their heroin. They just can't leave me alone! I turn on my light, to find nothing. Silence. And then...I spot it, less than a metre away, silently perched on my bed head. I go to squish it - for it's the right thing to do with mossies! It flies away, too slow. Then I try again, and then a third time. Each with less success. This means war! There is no way I was going to let a small destructive insect ruin my nights sleep. I put on the mosquito repeller, almost knowing that it's too late for that. I hear nothing for a while, so I turn off my light. Just as I've settled down once more, I hear it. And then 'dam' it flies into my head. I swipe for it, but miss - all goes silent. 'I've got it' I think. Phew, I settle down again, but no, there it is again. Blasted thing. This went on for a while. Until I remembered I had bug spray in my kitchen. I whole can of it - and even if it meant killing myself with the poisonous fumes, I would do it!

I sprayed the whole of the bedroom/living room, and then lay very still until the bug can close. It took a while because the light was still on - but I was a woman with a mission. And when it came near - shhhhhhhhhhhhhtt I sprayed it like my life depended on it - which it almost certainly did! And then it just disappeared. Seriously! No writhing around trying to get the stuff off itself, no painful buzz, no nothing. I was almost disappointed. But I waited, just to make sure, and sure enough there was nothing but the sound of a bit of dripping water, far off in the distance.

I snuggled up and felt asleep soundly, all thanks to the orange flavoured bug juice!! I have paid homage to it below, as only a life saver sound be....

Enjoy your day and remember to stay say, from dangerous animals like the mosquito!
