Awww, so nearly! This is actually a Tachinidae fly, Tachina fera. The Noon Fly Mesembrina meridiana is mainly black with orangey wings and yellow cheeks, and is a Muscidae member. Keep at it Brian - you're doing great!  |

Keep at it Brian - you're doing great! | Hi Jason, Thank you for correcting my effort - really appreciated.
May I claim an 'E' for effort although my wife does the photography while I struggle with identification of what she photographs. 'Coolies grunter' in other words. (Hope that is not deemed racist!!.

They used the cane frequently and sometimes we had to go and buy the cane for the teacher who then 'practiced' on us. That was in Londonderry nine out of ten would have warrented one stroke..
Feel that society could do with a dose of that now; may cure some of the problems.
Brian stop reminiscing.
