Oooo. Take a photo.

[Ruby]

You poor thing etc.

[Zoomer]

I will if we see him again, rather than just hear him, moving around, doing unspeakable things to my clothes.


I actually quite like lizards, just not in my bedroom.

[Kenickie]

Oh god! I had a lizard in my room on my last holiday and had to get P to get someone from the hotel to get it out whilst I cowered in the toilet.

[Derek Nimmo]

Power cut! Whole area apparently, due to an underground cable giving out. Not like its a day when you need a fan or anything...

[olive]

I hope your lizard leaves soon, Zoomer.

Oh no, Derek! Hope you have power again soon.

I cut the corner of my mouth open on a piece of sourdough and it hurts beyond belief.

[Derek Nimmo]

We are indeed now back in the room. Thank fuck!

[Rosa]

Good news!

[Zoomer]

I'm glad your power is back, Del! And ouch! Olive, that sounds painful, albeit slightly hipsterish.

We have no news of the lizard. He might be still there and cowering in a corner, or he might have left the building, like Elvis.

I’d love to have a lizard in my room. You won’t get plagued with flies at least.

However, it’d be awful if you didn’t want one there.

We had geckos inside our old house. I used to get a fright when I saw them dart behind the toy box as for a minute I would always think it was a snake. We have heaps of them at our current house but they stay outside. You hear them chirp loudly every evening.

We get small lizards here quite a lot - only once have I seen one come inside, even though there's a female that comes onto a southern windowsill quite a bit. I'm not bothered for myself, but I am very concerned that they'll die of thirst / get stuck or injured. The fly-eating aspect is certainly a plus!

[Zoomer]

Small lizards are lovely. This one was about as big as my foot.

Anyway, it didn't suck my face off in the night, so that's a bonus.

[Lily]

A lizard! When we were in Sri Lanka a gecko fell on my friend's face while she was sleeping. Joy! did you get a photo?

[Estrella]

As if by mentioning it, I’ve just come back downstairs from putting the children to bed and there was a gecko on the dining room floor!

[Lily]

I have such gecko envy! They're very lucky, you know.

[Zoomer]

Thank you for sharing that with me, Lily.

I did not get a photo, no.

[nineseven]

The first time I encountered a gecko making noises (in a hotel room in Bali) I thought it was a hiding monkey

[Hazey_Jane]

Small lizards are lovely. This one was about as big as my foot.

Remember when I was at yours and there was a salamander in the kind of outhouse building where the freezers are when you were showing us around? I like lizards but I really didn't want to go down there on my own after that!!

[Zoomer]

Oh yeah, that was a big one too. And us heroically scurrying off and leaving the men to deal with it.

There's far too much nature around here at times.
