Kazan — summer 2014

It's been a cool summer here, as a result of which there have been significantly fewer mosquitoes. But now they have returned. Gods, but I hate them. Some varieties actually make a buzzing sound, and if you think you can fall asleep with that buzzing going on in your bedroom, then you are quite mistaken.

What is it about these critters that makes them go for my ankles? Most likely my feet stick out from under the bedspread, and thus I wake up each morning now with itchy, bitten ankles. Time to buy a refill for the electric mosquito killer that I have left here in previous years.
