Eddy Lizard had gone into hiding in the bowels of the airconditioning system for the last couple of days.
We assumed he had done a scurry, as lizards do, I mean there isn’t much wild life in your common Migane.
But no.
I got into the car this afternoon and there he was, sunbathing on the dashboard.
He got a greater fright than I and lost his sense of orientation, missed the airconditioner and ended up hiding in a paper bag in the storage compartment in the door.
That way he did us both a favour.
It was a simple act then to shake this out on the flowerbed across the street from where, without a backward glance, he scurried up the wall to freedom.
(Just pausing for long enough as he went to permit me to get this parting shot)

on August 18, 2010It is not a lizard, but a gheko. I have on my terrace, here in Barcelona. They are lovely.

on August 20, 2010Does this mean Eddy Lizard is now Gordon Gheko?

on August 20, 2010Thanks Martine, I am never sure of the difference.
Should be I suppose Betty, but somehow I will always think of him as Eddy (sigh)

on August 21, 2010Geckos have a bigger head, and their toes have a special shape : they are like spatulas and allow them to adhere to most surfaces.
And my mistake : geckos are lizards…
