On my Facebook page I asked
”Is anyone else fed up with flies in the house this summer? Here, they’re definitely worse than usual – maybe we smell like rotting flesh or poo!
I found myself sitting here with one hand over my cup, trying to type with the other hand – then had a brain-wave….reverse use of coaster from Heksmoar

Judging by the response I got, a lot of folk are fed up with them!
One friend replied
“Yep. I’ve killed 27 in 2 days.”
To which I responded
“Blimey! Mike, being Mike, either catches them when they’re on the window using an empty yogurt pot and postcard, or uses his butterfly net to catch them – then puts them out. I’d normally go for that approach too, but they’ve got so bad, if I had a swat – I’d swat the buggers!
Do you remember those sticky fly-paper rolls with corpses stuck to them – some still twitching and buzzing faintly? Yuk.”
This brought to mind one of Grimms Fairy Tales…
One odd little thing…..when flies land on my computer screen I instinctively go for them with my cursor.
Then ….I think about it.
