Not a great day. Returned home after a week's house-sitting to find my flat semi infested with minute flies. I must have left some food waste in the bin, and they've sniffed the rot and invaded. Been a day of swatting, spraying, and cleaning. It's been a killing ground. These fuckers have got everywhere.

If there's anyone with advice on the best preventive action I can take - I've been thinking a couple of spiders or a bevy of pitcher plants as the best organic way (I'm reeling with a chemically induced migraine; I've sprayed RAID liberally everywhere), get in touch.
