Unfortunately, it would seem that one of the strays that comes to eat is either pregnant or lactating. She is not the one that began our putting food out, this is yet another. We're now putting out double the food. I have no idea how we can trap these as they don't always come at the same time, and not always every day.
As for me, we-ell, yesterday I got stung by one of those bee type flies. Thankfully not one of our bees as I know I'm badly allergic to them. Well, this striped fly stung me on my forehead, and gave me quite a headache for a couple of hours, and then started swelling me up! 
It was awful, although the oddest thing was, when the swelling started the headache stopped. It had puffed up my forehead a bit, and the pain had been mainly over my left eye. You could barely see the tiny red spot where I was stung, it was smaller than a nasal pore! As you can see, my eyes aren't sorted yet but I'm doing antihistamine pills every 6-7 hours at the mo, so hopefully this will dissipate soon. My eye itched badly and I had to not give in to rubbling it, then it got crusty and dry and I had to clean it and put drops in to replenish the moisture.

What a palaver!
