It'll not be in anyone's kitchen now Jenny ... :-))))) Sue Ugh! Glad it was in your kitchen & not mine! Luv ya really! Jenny.

Mick would like to thank everyone who sent birthday wishes to him. He had a good day, with phone calls from Martyn & family and David who are on holiday right now and Sunday lunch with Bryan, Mary & George. He went clay pigeon shooting in the morning, then we did lunch and the evening was spent in the pub playing darts. His darts haven’t been going as they should lately, he’s having trouble throwing them, but have improved the last couple of times. At least it gave me a chance to hit some form and end up winning more games than everyone. (These men don’t like to be women licked) but I love it.

There's been loads of horsflies around, on the canals and quite a lot of them have taken a likeing to me lol I keep TCP handy, and, if I dont swat them before they get me, I dab TCP on the bite and that seems to take the *sting* off it almost straight away Hugs John xxx....... on the Shropshire Union Canal, nr Nantwich, at the mo ...... BTW TCP isnt very good as an aftershave lol They have the same effect on me Liz. I swell up and it takes weeks to get rid of the inflammation. I have a 'thing' about any sort of fly and they have to be got rid of as soon as they come in the same room as me. Wolfie...........Genealogy: People collecting people! I don't like horseflies 'cos they don't like me. Twice I have been bitten by them and landed up with a swollen leg and once the infection started spreading up and down my leg along a vein. I was advised to always carry some ant-histamine tablets so that I can take one straight away if I get bitten. Liz It may have been a horsefly. They have wings more like a moth than a fly & are quite big. The females bite horses, cattle & humans, the males just go for nectar from plants. They're not nocturnal as a rule - was the table light turned on ? They have fairly big eyes & a bite can be painful cos they have a sort of knife type apparatus that they use for *slash*you with, rather than a normal insect bite. Pat.xxx :o)) A Maid of Kent, UK.

It may have been a horsefly. They have wings more like a moth than a fly & are quite big. The females bite horses, cattle & humans, the males just go for nectar from plants.

It was an insect in my kitchen .. Believe me - when I tell you - I've never seen any insect like this before ... Time - about 3.30am --- It was 'walking' round the base of a table light I have in my kitchen - not exactly 'flying' but I could see wings - but not on it's back - like a butterfly or moth - more like 'tucked-in' like a ladybird ... But the strangest thing was - that it was hairy --- dark / light - brown - but not exactly yellow - more a dark dirty beige colour ... It was about 2cm long and 'fat' 1cm wide --- although this could have been just my imagination --- it probably was more like 1.5cm by 0.5cm --- still large - by my standards anyway ... I didn't hang around examining it closely - instead I grabbed some kitchen roll and squashed it in my fingers - and then gave it a real good squashing .. Then I opened the kitchen roll and took a look - "was it dead?" - was it heck - it was still wriggling - and it had something strange about it --- I sqashed it harder - even using the back of a teaspoon ...
