Hi,
just letting you know of a factual event of several yrs back when I was about 50.
It was mid morning on a Saturday in summer here in NZ and in the kitchen above the table was a light hanging quite low. House flies like doing that eratic zig zag flying underneath objects such as that. The sun was streaming into the room & I was watching the fly zig zaging in the sunshine less than a metre away from me, when suddenly it went upside down & did 5 or 6 zig zags before righting itself into the usual flying position.
I had a young surfing friend in the kitchen, visiting us at the time, enjoying a coffee & I looked at him & said “Did you just see that!!” to which he smiled & immediately said “Yeah, it was flying upside down!”
And so it was.
Giro.

No biggie, you’ll know for next time, and, as I say, welcome!
I second the, Welcome to the ‘Dope’! 
FWIW, you’re not the only ‘Kiwi’ on the boards. 
Isn’t there some fuss about a Kiwi with a chip on his shoulder on one of the boards now? He called Americans “niggers” because we didn’t know enough stuff about N.Z.
I think he ‘wore out his welcome’, and rather quickly, too. 
Come on, it’s New Zealand. Everything is upside down there.
