No fly zone

The other morning I was idly shooing away a small black aphid which had somehow got into the kitchen (I had been doing a spot of pruning in the back yard) when it struck me, with some force, that I have not seen a single house fly this summer. Not had the aerosol out once.

Nor last year either, I don’t think. Now that I do come to think of it.

All those rain clouds must have silver linings after all
