Drink flying

Earlier today I was carrying the food shopping down to the kitchen when one of the bags broke. Of course it had to be the bag containing the wines. Luckily only one of the wine bottles smashed. It was the red wine and it was on the carpet.

So after pouring white wine over the affected area to reduce the stain and then hoovering/picking up the bits of broken glass you can still sort of tell it is stained (its a big stain as well) but its no longer red.

But ironically this accident helped get rid of an annoyance that had been bugging my family all day. The obese fly. It has been flying around all day bumping into people and landing on everything and it doesn't seem to be able to fly out of all the open windows and door leading into the back garden. It also doesn't seem capable of dying. It has been smacked with a fly swatter numerous times yet it still seemed capable of flying around (and flying into people).

That is until it found the wine stain. We found it settled on the stain alive but not responding to any stimuli (such as me smacking the fly swatter on the ground next to it). So in its drunken stooper my dad squashed it (with the fly swatter).
