For some reason, I like regular flies as long as there's only one. Just like bumblebees, they're sort of cute.

Sometimes, I'll let one of those regular flies walk around on my hand and play with it, making it walk from finger to finger. Their buzzing reminds me of good old times at my grandparents farm when they were still alive.
How do you even do that? I can't even kill a fly without swatter assistance, let alone get them to be friends.

You just have to move very slowly so it doesn't get startled.
Alternatively, you could just not bathe for a month. Then you will be lord of the flies.

That's what antibacterial wipes and spray are for. Also, I don't always kill them. Like I said, if I can flick em out the window or out a door I'll do that, then they become SEP.
Sorted.

I’m definitely an aracnophobe when it comes to spiders as big as your hand - the spiders in Adelaide are small but when I lived up North I saw some spectacular ones. Adelaide has lots of brown snakes, although I recently read that they’re only the second most venomous snake in the world, so I guess it could be worse.

Yeah those Golden Orbs they get up there are pretty humongous.

So even Australians think their wildlife is ludicrous. I feel better.

Tarantulas are the real homies.

TFW your 5:30am start becomes 4:30am with daylight savings.

TFW you're sitting in a bus in the countryside late in the evening, watching the rare light source and scattered buildings go by as you listen to music on your headphones. Sometimes the most banal things can seem magical.
