My NZ in-law's cat's catch baby rabbits, hedgehogs and other alien creatures and leave them on the wood box beside the back door.

All cats think so. You should see the contempt on their faces whenever I play with the toy fishing rod...

I'm an excellent hunter - I can almost always find the potato chips or ice cream!

I know exactly where the chips and ice cream is. I put them there.

I'm good, Benji does not bring in anything dead.

I caught COVID for the first time in January while visiting NZ and spent 5 days in a motel in Fox Glacier isolating and suffering. The nurse at the clinic there told me that they didn't give it to tourists, so I had to do without even though it hit me hard.

Can I just say how much I hate mosquitos. There are so many at night in my bedroom. I'm going through acne patches (work great for bug bites) like crazy.

I would be able to get a screen for the window in the dormer. Technically I could also get one for my Velux window, but I would be only able to open it a teeny tine bit if I pulled the screen down, and with how warm my bedroom can get during the day that just isn't an option I need to be able to open it fully at night to get my room to cool down.

Also my sister wants to insulate the roof better, which probably means doing it from the inside, which might be the right moment to replace the older Velux window with one with HR++ glass, there are Velux windows that hinge at the the top, for those it should be easy to get screens whilst still being able to open the window fully. However, there are only two sizes available so I have to see if that will fit in my situation.
