I hate those things 😡 having a river and water meadows at the bottom of the garden means we get quite a few and they always go for me.
Husband reckons it's because I'm rotten to the core

It's definitely a deer fly oldbloke as it has green eyes 🙂 that's a distinguishing characteristic of the little so and so's.

Either way they both hurt like hell when they bite you 😛 I've heard the Avon fly repellent is the stuff to use apparently the Marines use it rather than the stuff they're kitted out with

 

[oldbloke]

Looks like I stand corrected!!

Avon skin so soft is the product. I KNOW this!!!!!
