The Weather and The Mosquitoes

Just a few notes and comments before I continue:

Mentioned to Ravin that the weather seems to have changed for the better, or perhaps I've just gotten use to it...he replied that the weather is exactly the same...but that I HAVE begun to get used to it!. Seems my hair is also getting used to it as it looks a little better than when I first got here and for now am not cutting it...enjoying being able to put it up if I want to, even it is not the most flattering to my face...I have no one to impress here...so I can dress and look as I feel most comfortable.

Mosquitoes: Don't let anyone tell you the mosquito problem here is terrible. I do not know of any house in Israel where there are no screens where you could leave all doors and windows open all day and not be infested with mosquitoes. Here, everything is open all the time, each room has a ceiling fan, there are these little electric mosquito repellent things in each room, and no mosquito is seen. And outdoors I put on repellent but there is nothing in comparison to the amount of mosquitoes which plague me in Israel!
