Sunday: In The Woods

We are making a point of going for walks on those days where we don't have much else planned.  We are lucky enough to have a nice parky wooded area not to far from where we live so took a stroll there this afternoon.  We also discovered a whole new area we didn't know about not too far from our place so that will be somewhere new to wander.

Carrying on from yesterday's mosquito saga, on the recommendation of a friend I have made two mosquito traps, one for the living room and one for the bedroom:

Cut the top off a plastic bottle
Wrap the bottle in something black (like a bin bag - mosquitoes like the dark)
Fill with 200 ml warm water, 50g brown sugar and 1g yeast
Insert the upended top of the bottle in the opening

In theory this should now attract mosquitoes to the bottle, rather than to us.  Apparently the mixture is good for two weeks so I'll report then how successful it was.
