When a foe became an unlikely friend

A bluebottle is a more worthy foe than you might think.

This mighty-fine weather has led to an awful increase in the number of flies and midges.

A lady who recently gave my hair a fine-old cut in Macroom, told me that back home, in Mullaghanish, she is being eaten alive with midges. She can’t open her car door in the morning without an infantry of the buggers charging in, before she gets in herself.
