It was when we were living in Brunei and Lynn our miad stared to screan Ratchet which mean poisons in Malay we made a dive for the bathroom and stayed locked in there all afternoon and I missed my ride. Of course the Lizard was totally harmless....Tattieweaslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723634612274763884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-85735157602604275682007-07-17T10:37:00.000-07:002007-07-17T10:37:00.000-07:00love the lizard tale, and the fact that the head t...love the lizard tale, and the fact that the head teacher let the children troup in to see it.

What a waste of a life, he couldn't have turned 40.<BR/><BR/>I had that lizard experience once - in the bathroom of a house in Cuba. A little green lizard - I thought it was a child's toy, so rigidly stiff it appeared and so rubbery and so green. But it scooted away when I tried to pick it up. Gave me such a fright!Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-11378505619971839622007-07-16T06:55:00.000-07:002007-07-16T06:55:00.000-07:00Hi Cait, in answer to your question, we flew to Ni...Hi Cait, in answer to your question, we flew to Nimes but were very close to the Ardeche river, up in the hills.Suffolkmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15123007594112557168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-83170406261434983692007-07-16T02:28:00.000-07:002007-07-16T02:28:00.000-07:00I used to be terrified but fascinted by the blue t...I used to be terrified but fascinted by the blue tongue an frilly necked lizards in Oz!!!Un Peu Loufoquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387826515638192265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-54246950497006061512007-07-16T00:53:00.000-07:002007-07-16T00:53:00.000-07:00Great blog about Lizard.I had to laugh too-reminds...Great blog about Lizard.<BR/><BR/>I had to laugh too-reminds me of several years ago when my eldest was about 5. I was on the phone to a friend and not giving him much attention. He kept coming into me and saying, "Mummy, there's a lizard in the front room...pplleeeease Mummy, come quick there's a lizard.." I just told him to stop interrupting me and went "yeh, yeh, of course there's a lizard..." Like you I got rather a shock later when I was clearing up in the front room and one came out from under the sofa!!...<BR/><BR/>We still laugh about that!...<BR/><BR/>warm wishes<BR/>xBluestocking Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502764742097142372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-16125258942211443312007-07-15T21:44:00.000-07:002007-07-15T21:44:00.000-07:00Me too re the blow dryer for my hair - I'd be lost...Me too re the blow dryer for my hair - I'd be lost without it!<BR/>I loved the story of the Lizard.

That bookshop would be wonderful, you never know....! Thank you too for doing the music request Cait, so kind.<BR/><BR/>I loved your blog Cait, so very interesting. I can familiarise with what you say about imagination, quite agree with that, and WONDER. I cannot live without my washing-machine, <BR/>shower/bath either, or jugs of flowers, paintings, books. Glad you managed to get here again Cait, I was having difficulty all this evening,just managed to get here again somehow.<BR/><BR/>Camilla.xxCAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-29597567682554600922007-07-15T13:52:00.000-07:002007-07-15T13:52:00.000-07:00What a fantastic story!

I came away from it feeling I'd learned something - which is always a good thing. By the way, the Welsh for lizard seems to be madfall. How kind of it to hang around on the Victor Pemberton for all the children to see!<BR/>And on the subject of things - I can't live without my computer! I did miss the washing machine when it broke, but not nearly as much as I missed the computer when it was hit by lightning.Maggie Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047691937064748860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-9246383866670881592007-07-15T13:38:00.000-07:002007-07-15T13:38:00.000-07:00That was a very interesting story.

I have to agree, much as I love to look at lizards and frogs etc, I don't think I would want them running about in my house - they belong outside!!<BR/><BR/>Just had to add that I love Natasha Bedingfield's new song "Soulmate" too.FunkyMunkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417658638855569577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-53999208822159286892007-07-15T12:22:00.000-07:002007-07-15T12:22:00.000-07:00I know what you mean about animals indoors.

There is something so ancient about them. I do love Lorca too, we have very similar tastes in poetry!
