Another Visitor

Gekkos are cute little things aren't they? Their little, pudgy hands and inquisitive expressions are endearing.

But (and there is indeed a 'but'), when they insist on wandering round your bathroom it can get a tad disconcerting. I thought my little visitor - only about 3cm long - had come in through the window but after I tried to trap him in the bathroom so I could take a photo, he promptly scurried under the door (absolutely no gap whatsoever!) and vanished. The accompanying image is courtesy of Wiki.

I have a big plastic bag of tennis balls, Tempo Trainers and Hydro-Hips sitting near the 'front' door and this morning I heard the plastic rustle. In the best traditions of stalking wildlife I stealthily crept up on the bag and was just about to pick it up and shake it when the little creature promptly fled under the closed front door (again absolutely no gap whatsoever) and hurried off to terrorise the rest of the building.

It must be baby gekko time because we've had a few on pool deck recently which causes mayhem amongst the little girls and frivolity amongst the silly little boys.
