Poor Darrell …….

While Nigel and I appear to be immune from the attentions of the native mosquitos, poor Darrell has become something of a martyr to them,  a prime target for feasting upon to put it bluntly, much to his dismay. 
IMG_2997Darrell prides himself on his well turned calves and neat ankles, but at the present moment the overall effect is a bit spoilt by a fine gathering of the itchy, red blotches.  He is not amused!

As a result he is now sporting a repellent wrist band on each wrist and both ankles and the rest of him is doused with a liberal application of mosquito spray …..

Bracelets on all extremities?

A sneaky ploy to get the cocktails out of Darrell.

Darrell is a hot blooded male - the mozzies can home in on his strength and vigour from miles away. JantheFan x

Poor Darrell, when you are the mosquitoes buffet, it does ruin summer time.....unfortunately, here in Florida, we fight them year round!....a few bumps won't spoil Darrell's good looks!.....Love to all, Dianne
