You're a Princess Mummy

It's mosquito season. Actually, for us it is mosquito season about 9 months of the year here. Maybe not for Daddy - mosquitoes seem to give him a wide berth.

And so we erected all the mosquito nets again...only Mummy and Daddy's was broken which necessitated another purchase.

Only this time, they didn't have what we're used to with the zip-up sides...instead we now have:

The four poster bed.
Complete with "pretty lace and ribbons and swathes of extra netting" - just what every man and woman desires in their boudoir...not! I am seriously considering developing netting that has polkadots of bold colours on it, or squiggles of primary colours, or is just...netting *gasp*.

Alex is enthralled - she thinks the bed is now the most beautiful bed ever and that we now sleep "like a prince and princess"...*gag*.

Maybe we need to send you some netting from spotlight - they have some dotty, bold colourful ones!

My wardrobe...hmm ;) There's a topic best left unreviewed!

Actually, the mosquito season is almost done and I'm itching (hah!) to take the splendid netting down. Definitely by Halloween I reckon.
