Common Wall Lizard

Just so you know that I am still in the land of the living, I thought I would show you this little fellow that was almost in the process of getting squashed under the door. He climbed on to my hand quite happily and I moved him outside to a log where he disappeared down a crack. He was still around for a couple of days afterwards, but now seems to have made a move elsewhere.

I am busy painting the new front gates and have house guests here until next Wednesday. To add to that, there is the local annual Bric-a-Brac taking place on Sunday and where I will be all day, hoping to sell some bits and bobs. I really enjoyed the event last year; it's a great community occasion and an opportunity to socialise with other local people. Hope it doesn't rain!!

The computer is certainly not having much use at present, but I hope to be back with you all on a more regular basis by the end of next week at the latest.

If you enlarge this picture, you will see that the little chap must have been hungry, as whatever that is by his head, he is trying to eat it!  Obviously it was not very tasty, as he gave up and looked elsewhere.
