Gordon the gecko!
Gordon as we named him, had decided to take up residence in our spare bedroom last spring. We only noticed the odd glimpse of tail disappearing behind the wardrobe or wall mounted mirror. He was not bothering us and seemed to be keeping the fly and moth numbers in the house to a minimum. But, we decided although we didn’t mind him being there. We really could not expect our guests to share the room with him!
We tried various ways to tempt him out, but to no effect.
We did eventually manage to scoop him up with a hand broom and dustpan then into a shoebox. We released him unharmed in the plants around the patio.
Now, if we see a similar sized gecko around this area. We hope that is our little Gordon.

Living in South Africa
Arriving for the first time and as a well-travelled individual, the first thing I noticed is that it looked remarkably familiar...but different. This is the same kind of initial impression I had when I first visited Australia and New Zealand. The common theme here of course is that these countries are all part of the Commonwealth and part of their legacies are very similar indeed.
Security and Violence in South Africa are well-documented topics on the worldwide news. The first drive away from the airport revealed a landscape with houses and heavy electric fencing, a very unusual sight.
