Living close to a lake it is good knowing that all the windows and the patio doors at the back have some mosquito netting across them which stops the bugs coming in as night approaches. The windows have the netting across them permanently so they can be left open all night – which is super useful on these hot summer nights. The patio doors have slide open doors that you close across when the patio door is open – air in, bugs out.
Up until last night everything was working perfectly, although the door sliding version was a little stiff at times. After getting home from a late afternoon and evening in Seattle (including a trip up the Space Needle and a lovely dinner at Lola’s) we sat out in the garden and relaxed. As it got late Harry and Toby went off to clean their teeth although it came to an abrupt end as Harry walked splat into the mosquito net door! After a moment or two of confusion, much laughter and talk of GanGan walking into the patio door, Harry and Toby continued up to clean their teeth.
An hour or so later (and a couple of glasses of wine later) I was sitting in the lounge and heard the door netting claim its second victim of the night. Not content with capturing Harry, the door tricked Aunty Arnold and she walked slap into it!
I’m not sure what the moral of the story is, just that it was funny!
