Default NS Meetup in May?

Hello Ladies and Gents,

Hubby and I are flying back out in the second week of May so hubby can sit the CAMRT exam on the 18th - and to house hunt!

Was hoping people would be around for a meet up - it would be good to put faces to some of the very helpful voices of this forum. Anybody up for a coffee (or something stronger) w/e of 15/16th?

Howdy! I am sure everyone will be up for a meet up - hopefully we may even have some sunshine by then!

First couple of days of sunshine here - gosh it does make you feel so much better! Looking forward to going back to NS and seeing it in a different season. When does spring start for you guys?

May is definitely not blackfly time. Mozzies and blackfly are out during the hot summer months.

In some places it can be - here in PL we had quite a bad time with them last year, but not so much the year before. The year before the mozzies were the pains in the bum.

BUT there are things out there to keep the majority of them out of the way so they don't ruin your whole life!

After taking advice from other members here last year I went the Marmite route, it really does work like a charm but it tends to stain pale clothes & if you're planning on exposing a fair bit of skin (shorts & t-shirt) it can take up to a whole small jar to get even coverage..
