Good grief! Another tornado warning

London, ON? I heard one did touch down! Hope you guys have been safe!

Our temps dipped from the high 20's to just above freezing overnight 😮 

@tony-h Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about the mosquitoes. I didn’t have mosquitoes during my visit, but I was there in the winter. I generally use a product with DEET in it for mosquitoes; I rarely have to though, so I have an old bottle of Muskol (I don’t know if it’s even available anymore). Best to ask at a local pharmacie. I really think that mosquitoes can smell fresh blood; they always seem to go after the newcomers first. For relief from bites, I find that no over the counter product works as well for me as straight bicarbonate of soda and water made into a paste and plopped onto the bites. It can also be used in a bath - about one cup in a bath ought to give you some relief. My husband likes a product called Afterbite, but I don’t find it helpful.

The photo of the cathedral in Burgos is beautiful!

@veganostomy Yes, London. We didn’t suffer any damage; we were lucky. Our son’s girlfriend, however, had a large tree limb fall on her car; it looks like it will be a write off. Fortunately, she has good insurance, so it will be okay.
