Damn Summer !!!

Notice the flies? No wonder

Keen observers of Australian tradition at yesterday's Boxing Day Test could not have missed another iconic ritual: The Great Aussie Salute in full flight.

So many patrons were shooing flies from their faces that they almost created their own breeze.

Yes Yes Yes... I couldn't agree more with him

I was walking with my sis to Chaddy yesterday for the boxing day shopping... and boy i hate those flies! I'm starting to feel like bringing one of those electric racquets which buzzes and electrocutes mosquitoes whenever we press the button.. I'm pretty sure they'll work just fine with the flies..

Oh.. I just remembered.. I just found out that we have to declare them at the customs when we bring one of those racquets into Australia... Just found out when I just returned from indo and was at the airport bout a week ago..

Anyways... flies.. those bloody damn annoying disgusting freakin flies...

"On one estimate, said Bert Candusio, curator of the Insectarium of Victoria at Woodend, there might be as many as 650 billion flies buzzing Victorian skies and dinner plates."

"Eventually, he said, the balance of nature will swing into play. The same conditions — and an abundance of prey — should see a boom in spiders and other fly predators."

Oh I can only pray... please don't let this happen............
