That's it. It's decided. I have the perfect solution for the whole Dengue fever prevention thing. Plainly, since it's likely to be more serious if he gets it on a second occasion, it is time for action. With this in mind I went to Spotlight yesterday and bought 15 metres of white muslin. (The colour is actually irrelevant but they only had white.

First day in Bali in June I'll be going to the little tailor shop next to The Ducks Nutz and getting 3 large, well very large really baby-grow suits, hooded, made. I'll get them loose fitting because mozzies can bite through thin fabric and also loose fitting clothes are cooler. They will have feet in them with glove like toes so that he can still wear his thongs. I know this will cost a bit more to get made but feel he would look silly in Crocs. They will also have those cute little gloves than unfold from the cuff, for dawn and dusk.

I was going to dispense with the hood and insist he wears a crash helmet at all times but he feels this is really going too far so hoodies they will be. He is being a little difficult about the full face mask even though the grandkids have a couple left from Halloween and a Santa one that only needs new elastic and has absolutely refused to wear a bee keepers head thingy so I think I may have to settle for a full facial coverage of zinc cream. That is unless anyone has actually tried the corks dangling from the hat thing and can tell me if it actually works. Any advise on that will be kindly received.

If the prototypes are a success, and I can see absolutely no reason why they wouldn't be, I will be taking orders so you'll all need to get in early!
