Here in Western Australia we are still in Autumn. It is cool and we, in the metropolitan areas, have had some welcome rain. Another welcome event around this time is the dearth of flies. In warmer times I have a problem with blowflies getting down my kitchen exhaust system, negotiating the exhaust fan and coming in for an inspection of my curry cooking. The exhaust system goes through the ceiling, through the roof cavity and out to fresh air through a ‘Chinaman’s Hat’ vent. Previously I had surrounded the vent with fly wire to keep the blowies out and recently had to venture up on the roof to repair gaps in the wire screen.

Someone, please remind me what flies are here for.
The cooler weather has brought on a small plague of moths who make every effort to lay eggs in all my pantry leftovers. Time to buy some sticky moth baits.
I guess moths have a place in this world too??
Another question: Is it sensible for a 76 year old bloke to be up on a roof?
