lovingbothThe Fly Flies
For the past month or so, our 'utility corridor', and particularly the downstairs toilet, have been infested with small flies. Fortunately, they are easy to squish (they don't fly much, the weather means they're not particularly active, and they like light, so most of them congregate on the windows) and some of our eight-legged friends have had a great time, but I still squished about sixty today and that's been the daily average.
Enough.
Looking around town, I can find some vicious insecticide spray, but the small print goes on (and on) about keeping it one metre from walls and ventilating the room and... other stuff that's hard in a toilet barely one metre wide and less than two deep.
Go for it anyway or something else? What?
Anyone in Streatham want to get me something?
The CEX there has a copy of The Coen Brothers Collection" (4 film version) for £3.
I just want one of the discs - Blood Simple, so if anyone wants to buy it, post me that (if it's a slim box, stick it in an 'half A4' envelope and it's an ordinary letter; if it's a thick one, stick the disc in a plastic cover and...) I'm happy to pay that and you keep the other three films: the wonderful Hudsucker Proxy, the cult Big Lebowski and the weird Barton Fink.
