so last night while using the cast iron grill pan to make lamb chops on the stove the house was getting quite smokey so we opened the windows and doors to air it out. this is a daring thing to do during the evening because the mosquitoes here are 3x the size of the ones at home and LOVE to be inside. as i was going around closing the windows after dinner i went into the toilet room (many houses in NZ have the toilet in a separate room from the shower and sink) and found 4 HUGE mosquitoes! these were even bigger than the ones i've been finding around the garden. i quickly closed the door ON Torre not realizing that he was following behind me so close and began the attack on the blood thirsty vipers! (we get tired of waking up with bites in case it wasn't obvious!) one...two...three down... the fourth was too high for me to reach so i took a quick second to consider whether or not i should stand on the toilet seat since it did seem a bit weak...i should've taking a few more quick seconds...because as i placed my right foot on the seat and boosted myself up i didn't even make it half way before my foot went right through the seat breaking it into several pieces. :< this isn't funny! i could've done some serious damage to my foot and i think i almost broke my big toe but thanks be to God i did not! torre ended up killing the fourth mosquito for me since i couldn't stop laughing. the only injury i did acquire was on my left calf. it seems a piece of the toilet seat hit it, scratched it and bruised it since it started swelling shortly after the incident. i put ice on it so the swelling didn't get bad but it is pretty sore.
Adventures Away! hehe.. (although not what i was expecting!)
