Just like that, ankle-biter flies nearly gone

No sooner did I write the last blog about the ferocity of the ankle-biter flies than we got the conditions to bring relief -- cooler weather and a change in wind direction.
As this image of Cork taken yesterday attests, the hordes of the miserable insects have gone elsewhere. Today's temperature was back in the 70s F (20s C), however, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the flies again. Bring the Repel, if you can find it. It is not available in Canada, to the best of my knowledge.
