    I was out cyling earlier around the outskirts of the town and at times it was like someone throwing sand in my face, hundreds of them.

    it is the weather and time of year for these tiny bugs and also carlow has the barrow which is a breeding ground for thousands of species of flying insects.

    They're greenfly and there is a lot of them. I don't know why there's so many now when it wasn't particularly warm today.

    One of them flew into my eye earlier. It hurt. :(
