Before I launch into talking about Canada's national insect I have a quick update on the family situation here in New Brunswick.

.

Kathryn is still in Canada. It is a longggg story so to cut it short this is basically what happened.

.

The airline screwed up her ticket, so there was no sign of it when she tried to check in at Fredericton International Airport. After refusing to pay an additional $430 for a new ticket. We went off to Montana's for dinner, and she changed her mind about going back to the UK. So we are all still together (happiness abounds) Thats it!

OK my love hate relationship with Mosquito's (I love to hate them). I put the mosquito trap out a week ago and it has already exceeded my quota for the month of May. But it is running 24 hours and I think we are winning . Mosquito activity is definitely lower in the back garden than in the front or on our Neighbours garden. But Blackfly are starting to come out and I can feel chemical warfare campaign coming on. Ve Vill Vin zer Var!!

You know you are turning Canadian when you start to think that perhaps you should purchase a set of these from Canadian Tire.
