When I found one on my living-room windowsill at about the beginning of November I thought it was a bit late to see them around. And I thought it was odd to find one - well, I should say Ebby finding it - buzzing around on my bedroom window a week or so before Christmas. Then tonight I found one in my kitchen! I thought it was dead but when I got the pan and brush I discovered it was only sort of comotose. Plus, I have to tell you, they have all been quite large!!

Now, as I so dislike and fear the things, I am begining to get paronoid about them. Are there any more? Where are they coming from? Etc. Especially as something similar has happened before.
In February around 3 years ago, I had a plague of bluebottle flies in my front bedroom (Ebbys room now). I got the pest control people out and finally got rid of them but no-one ever figured out the hows and whys of them being there.
