Easily recognisable.   Dave is rather tall.  I have lumps all over my head.  We both have our hair dyed grey.   ;)

After having been eaten alive by the midges (especially watering garden) decided it was war.  Went down to village, bought a couples of cans of insect repellant and sprayed the grass.  Lovely old chap in shop opposite school sells BUNTOX for 2.5 lira. (Also get 33% free!).  Two days of bite free watering!!!. (Also works well on grasshoppers, cicadas and anything else that's eating your garden)Probably have to respray every 2/3 days.

Don't think so, they seem to have died down now that the harvest is finished.  Mind you, think everything dies down in August

Hi all,

Was it bad this year?

Should I get netting fitted on windows?

Thanks

I think it may not have been quite as bad as last year, but I am curious to know what other's thought.  But I suspect that the midges would easily get through the mesh used as fly screen, sorry :(
