To sleep on the balcony?

I know I probably AM BU but it doesn't stop me from wanting to. For as long as I can remember, I've preferred sleeping outside to sleeping inside.

I just feel more comfortable and peaceful. '

We live in Australia so you might think it would be more of a normal thing to do here...but it's not, mainly because of mosquitoes.

Some people go camping but rough it and sleep only in a tough sort of sleeping bag thing with a hood and a mosquito net called a Swag...but I don't see why I have to go into the countryside to do it...or use a swag and a net.

We moved not long ago...where we lived before did have a massive garden but a lot of mosquitoes due to a stream nearby...plus it was extra creepy there as it was an old property and the block next door had an abandoned house on it.

But here, we're right by the sea...I can see it metres away from the balcony on the second floor...and the balcony is quite private...nobody would know I was there.

AIBU to get a few blankets/duvets and something to lie on and kip there sometimes? It's Autumn here now and I love the slight chill in the air...

Does anybody else remember that song by, I think, a band called The scared, weird, little guys.. 'come to Australia, you might just get yourself killed'...?? Or something like that.....

That's not her. It's a thing that likes nests (and spiders, seemingly).

With the size of the spiders in Australia, I wouldn't be doing it. You're a braver woman than me.
