locusts
The nearly ex other half went down to Albany wednesday.
He got home this evening and said that he had been driving for well over 100 kilometres through swarms of locusts.
The car is covered with them and the remains. He had to stop at several garages on the way to clean the windows.
Whisky :scared:

PollyWhen I say swarms he said that you couldnt see the road to about knee high. I should have taken a photo of the car, oh blast
