It is very strange that given that it is in a region that has not one but three sorts of mosquito borne diseases - malaria, dengue and chikungunya - the school does not provide us with screens on any but our bedroom windows. Want more? You pay for them. I would be happy to do so (not true; I would be grouchy to do so) and have asked twice. Still waiting for mañana...
Now I am being visited by another of God's creatures. On two occasions in the past two weeks, I have come into the kitchen in the morning to find that some creature or other has been availing itself of my produce. I'm all about sharing, but that was my last tomato and it had just ripened to perfection.

The maintenance department says that screens won't help because rats will just chew through them once they've learned a food source. Now I'm ripening my produce in a cupboard. I, too, can learn.
Ugh! Screen-chewing-through rats!
