Todays input in my room. First Blue Bottle that flew out of the window. Followed later by a huge wasp that flew out of the same window followed just now by a Crane fly thats gone the same way. All three liked my Dell 2405 LCD Monitor. Bugs aren't into Computers yet surely not.

Crane fly has come back for another look at my Monitor.

Thinking about bugs at the moment it should be a good time for them. Damp and any warmth will send them off.

Oh, You have no idea how much I dislike bugs! lol

I won't go into my attic at all. I've only ever been up there once and never again. I live in a semi-rural area, and apparently, as a result, a certain type of fly entering the attic is quite common. I went up there, and noticed after a minute or two all these black dots everywhere, which on closer inspection turned out to be dead flies - untill the one I was looking at jumped!!! Then, backing away to get out of the attic, I saw that more and more of them started jumping.

I quicly got out, closed the hatch quickly behind me, and it's been closed ever since!

interesting to note that if you remove the legs from a crane fly on one side.. they just go round in circles.. introduce them to a cat and its entertainment all night.. :)

    Dubai Floods: Another Warning Sign for Desert Regions?

    The flooding in the Middle East desert city of Dubai earlier in the week followed record-breaking rainfall.
