In the heat of the night
I am not in the best of moods today.
Last night was just one of those nights. It started when the cat did a vanishing act, and after waiting a while and fruitlessly sending the dog out to fetch her I decided enough was enough and she could fucking stay outside for the night, if that was her attitude.
The night itself wasn’t the best. It was one of those nights where both the mind and body were both willing to sleep but sleep just didn’t happen. At one stage at around three I spent a while bollock naked sitting in front of the open doors to the garden. That didn’t make any difference as the temperature outside was much the same as the temperature inside.
Then just as I was drifting off, Herself needed a bit of attention [not that kind of attention so stop sniggering at the back] which just woke me up again.
I don’t know what time it was but I eventually got to sleep and then didn’t wake up until midday which has fucked up my mental view of the day completely. It’s nearly three now but my head tells me it’s still eleven or so.
The cat was rightly pissed off at being locked out but fuck her – it’s her own fucking fault but she’s too thick to realise that.
Now I’m being plagued by flies.
They come sailing in through the open doors and immediately go into orbit around me. They keep landing on my screen and on my arms and they are really pissing me off. I managed to swat a few with my tobacco pouch and left a [nearly] dead one on my keyboard as a warning to the others. Flies are apparently callous little bastards though, as they just ignore their [nearly] dead comrade and carry on pissing me off.
Three o’clock.
I had better make Herself some breakfast.
Get a cat flap – it will stop you worrying about her and where she is. Keep the doors and windows closed to exclude flies, get instant death fly spray and be liberal with it. Buy some quick breakfast items in a can and use a microwave. There, everything sorted. Don’t know what you have to worry about.
Cat flap: Nowhere to put one as all relevant doors are glass. Anyway they cost money and I couldn’t give a shit if the cat stays out all week.
Closed doors:Â Do you want me to bake?
Fly spray: Have some. It makes my eyes water but the flies are apparently immune.
Breakfast: A slice of toast. Can’t get simpler than that?
Sounds like your having one of my days…er…nights. Either one or perhaps both.
Both at the same time. Now I think I’m coming down with a bug!
Sheesh! We must be linked. I wore a robe though instead of being in the flesh. Wouldn’t want to scare the neighbors.
I was in no mood to be worrying about the neighbours. Anyway the only people who could see me would be people on the main road. Do I care?
Try Vicks Vapour Rub on your ear lobes, wrists and back of the neck. Apparently flies, like mozzies (no, that’s mozzies and not muzzies) hate the smell of the stuff and stay away. On second thoughts, I wonder if it does work on muzzies? Worth a try I suppose.
I have a pathological hatred of flies, if there is one in a room I can’t eat or drink. Which is why the flat is hermetically sealed all summer: NO flies ever …we just give up on being able to breathe for 3 months or so a year….oxygen is overrated anyways .
Sounds like you could do with some insect screens on the windows and doors GD.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEkqC_X92Xs
