I've heard it said that lizards in the home are lucky.
In particular, geckos.
I had plenty of geckos at my last home, mostly outside, but occasionally one would find its way inside.
There were plenty of skinks too.
Here in this new home, I haven't seen a single gecko or a skink either.
But I heard odd noises from the front porch late last Saturday afternoon and went out to see what the heck was going on out there.
I saw a blue tongue lizard trying to hide under the "gecko house".
Probably just after a bit of shade I suppose.
Naturally I raced for the camera and hoped he'd still be there when I got back with it.
He was.
It was a hot day here in Adelaide, so after taking this photo, I put a small dish of water within reach for him, then left him alone.
He's disappeared now, living somewhere in the gardens, and he wasn't in my home, just on the front porch, but I still think I'm lucky just for having seen him at all.
describes my mind perfectly!
Bingo!

Pearl
And I thought it was just me.
ReplyDeleteyou're preachin' to the choir sister
ReplyDeletejoeh; seems we're all in the same boat :)
ReplyDeletePearl; I usually say umm, ummm, that thingy :)
Joanne; you're not alone Joanne, we're all here with you :)
Delores; I do a lot of that, I forget sometimes that I'm not the only one. See? Lost information :)
I can't even find my brain! I've misplaced it!
ReplyDeleteI suspect that the Bermuda Triangle is a very, very crowded place. My brain, your brain, parts of rather a lot of brains...
ReplyDeleteLee; have you searched the Bermuda Triangle?
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; not to mention all those ships and their crews!
As annoying as it is about what you forget, it is amazing at times what you remember....often useless stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt does feel like that at times. And, is why I have post-it notes everywhere... a trail of little square yellow paper crumbs to important reminders.
ReplyDeleteYou too.
ReplyDeleteMerle.........
Andrew; always the useless stuff, like the colour of the plastic sandals my best friend wore in third grade. Brown.
ReplyDeleteVicki; I have lists and exercise book pages with notes that often get transferred to new pages when the first page has had several notes scribbled out.
Merle; yes, me too.
Oh yes, I hear what you are saying.
ReplyDeleteMimsie; thinking of the Bermuda Triangle, I wonder what would be found there if anyone ever managed to solve the riddle of it.
