Yesterday morning I woke up and instantly noticed an odd smell. I checked under the sheets but I hadn't shit the bed. Curious. The moment I walked into my living area the smell was definately worse. A kind of "Bins need emptying" smell. I went to the kitchen and the bin was virtually empty. And the kitchen didn't seem to smell so much.

I checked around the work surfaces for any food/leftovers I'd left out all night (It was already 30 degrees by the time I got up, food goes bad v quick here). There was none.

I shrugged, took the bin out, put the ceiling fans on high and went to my normal retreat outside.

A while later I went inside and the smell hadn't cleared. I searched the place high and low as it's not uncommon for me to have a plate of food and then put it down while looking for a CD or something and wander off forgetting about it.

Nothing.

Then I had a brainwave. Kitchen sink! It was still filled with washing up water from last night. Perhaps that had gone rank. I emptied it confident the smell would go.

Half an hour later - nope. Still smells bad. I began to wonder whether there was a dead mouse or something tucked away somewhere. Then Brainwave #2! I went to the microwave which is right at the living room end of the kitchen. I open the door and......eeeeewwwwwwww!

Bowl of furry vege noodles and a swarm of fruit flies eating them :( And the most unholy smell ever. After retching a bit and getting clean air from outside I held breath, went in, grabbed the bowl and took it straight to the outside bin where the bowl and contents were dropped at arms length.

I have since thoroughly bleached out the microwave even though the vileness was contained to a bowl. But I have two questions:

1) How do little fruit flies (Drosophila?) get into a microwave without the microwaves getting out? I'm confused.

2) How do noodles and veg smell so bad? Surely they should just dry out?


























That is all. Sorry.
