Hi Cheryl - I missed your earlier posts somehow, so a belated Welcome On Board.
Bummer about your Fibro and ME. Fiona finds gardening a great distraction too. Short bursts with plenty of rests in between, although her condition has been diagnosed as post viral syndrome and not full-fledged ME. Not a great deal of difference from what I can see.
Back to fruit flies. The Bright Sparkly one is right - it does not have to be fruit that is the cause. I was stunned to find a minor infestation in our bathroom last week. I traced them to the amaryllis plant that lives there. They were breeding and living in the base of the plant.
Sometimes the little compost bin in our kitchen becomes a breeding ground after a few days. We just put it outside the back door, leave the door open for a few hours, and the fruit flies go away.
On a lighter note - I love this old one:
Time flies like an arrow
Fruit flies like a banana
Never knowingly underfed
Danny, found a site for all those proverbs/sayings/expressions you mention occasionally .....
Not sure if you really have the time though .......
Sorry, Cheryl - very remiss of me - WELCOME to the forum.
I have a friend in Devon, also named Cheryl, from our schooldays, which was a very long time ago .
Yet it is quite an unusual name, too.
Some proverbs really 'hit the nail on the head', don't they?
We need a 'wistful' emoticon. I'm off to find one!
