What's on your work bench right now?

That brings back a memory from soon after I first arrived in the NT, a friend of mine said; remember to turn all your lights off after dark to keep them midgies out. They're built square so they can fit through the screens.
I moved to the mid nth coast and of course I started fishing and went to this spot on dusk in shorts and singlet I was told to go and pump yabbies for bait. I’m there pumping And I can’t see clearly so I clean my sunnies and put them back on and still blurry. As I take them off real slow I can see the midgees are so thick I could cut a path through them with my arm. Obviously it looked like I had measles for the next 3 weeks.
Every house I move into I change to midgee screen.

The only sand flies that cause me grief are the ones with a red spot / mark on them
And we only seem to get them in one area of Gladstone ....Calliope River / Curtis Island
 
Annoying little pricks hey.
Squared up too. Now that’s an Ozy midgee for ya

i can’t see that well mate. Is there a red spot on some of them?
Or are we talking about spiders?
I hate spiders, creepy little buggers, that ain’t scared of anything.
 
Can't even find my workbench, slight exaggeration. The garage is so full of crap I can't get on to tip as wife and daughter have been turning blind eye to helping me sort what's to go and what's to stay. No doubt if I took unilateral action id be in bad books. 🤪

I deliberately keep my garage as messy as possible (I know where things are) because as soon as I sort it, the finance officer comes in and decides to rearrange everything and then I can never find what Im looking for.

Sounds like our kitchen.
Just as I get used to where things are.... boom, a complete rearrangement...

Must admit also, my wife marvels at how I have such a good idea where things still are despite mess.

I hear ya, if I leave a clear bench, it’s like a red rag to a bull for my minister for finance and fashion, she seems to think I need something to do.
