'Lady of the Flies.'
We had a family barbecue yesterday here in the back garden. Wendi and Geoff, Danny, Xiaoling and Leslie came over in the afternoon.We had a lovely time sat under the pergola wafting away the flies that were trying to vomit on our lunches.While waiting for everyone to come back down for some of the cake that Danny had made specially, Dulcie grabbed the cake slice and killed a fly that landed in front of her."That' s one less," she said, laughing.Of course we had to take the cake slice in to be washed again as most of us don't like our cake with fly innards, preferring cream or ice cream instead.Someone brought back her trusty fly swat. She killed two more with it."This cost a dollar," she said, brandishing it."Never was money more well spent," I said.
