'Oh, what a night!'

8.00 pm.We were in bed but the temperature was still 27 degrees with a 'real feel' of 31 degrees. It was hot and sticky and uncomfortable....plus a couple nearby with a big motor home had their generator going to power their air conditioning.....it was noisy and very inconsiderate. We killed a mosquito that had got in.10.00 pm.Will was asleep.....I had very little battery left on my mobile phone from passing the time using it to surf the internet because I couldn't sleep. I thought the generator had stopped at one point but it started up again about 15 minutes later.......a cycle of 15 minutes off, 15 minutes on started.11.00 pm.I noticed a huge storm way out over the lake and got up to go and watch it. Worried that it might rain I tidied up our camp but could not put stuff into the car because I did not know where the  key was. I had to wake  Will."Will" I hissed.....nothing. "Will"....a bit louder......nothing. "WILL!"........still nothing. I had to shake him awake."Do you want to see this storm?" We both went and watched it on the beach. The mosquitoes swarmed around us in a feeding frenzy. We couldn't stand it. I put all the stuff that we didn't want wet in the car and we went back to bed. We killed two more mosquitoes that had followed us in.12.00 am.The generator and air conditioning whine finally stopped. The temperature was now about 26 degrees and there was a slight breeze blowing. I could hear the mosquitoes whining outside.1.00 am.The wind arrived! It blew the mosquitoes away. It said on my dying phone that gusts up to 60 km were expected. I got up and put everything that could blow away into the car and got back in bed. Not long after the fly sheet half blew off and I dashed up to find the peg and re fix it. I must have slept then for awhile.3.00 am.I woke. Will was asleep. The wind was worse and we were camped right under huge trees.3.30 am.I got dressed. Will woke up. "Will you come and sleep in the car with me?" I was worried about falling branches.He thought I was mad but came with me. We had to rearrange the contents in the back so we could recline the front seats.4.00 am.I was still awake and saw a car slowly creep past.....someone had packed up and was leaving. I think there was a mosquito in the car that had escaped the wind like us7.00 am.I awoke. It was light. Will was asleep. The tent was still there and there was no branch crushing it...but we were still alive.
