the flies down at the beach are driving me crazy lately, I think they are march flies, they stick
I seriously feel like Pigpen while I'm down there
apparently they like denim, ok, I will wear light colours and see what happens
It's the talk of the fly gun made me wonder if I could use one ...lol
Be careful carrying one around outside the house because they may fall under imitation firearm
it's ok, in oz pretty much noone thinks of guns
My ex housemate got in strife because he's an actor and had a prop cowboy style gun. One of the neighbours saw it on his bedside table and called the police. Turned into a whole fiasco.
My old LARP group had a "no weapon props" rule for those reasons.
It's March. March flies are allowed. Come April then we can complain about them.
they are nasty
also, I did not find one single murex or spindle shell today ๐
