Really? Mmmm, now I'm wondering if it was the first of the year. Think the little fuckers are usually (and logically) earlier around here than 'round where you live.
I live in a bad patch of my village. Means that I have them all year around. Two streets from me, they hardly have the critters.
On the plus side, I have now been the prey of our local mosquitoes so often that I don't get hives from them any more. My oldest is nearing that stage. My youngest still can look like a raisin-roll now and then.
If a mosquito at my parents, 70 km form here, has a go at me, I will get a red itching bump.
