House Guests
Today Ellie, Sylvia and I went to Whidby Island to awe at kite boarders flying through the air at Useless Bay and pick up 6 baby chicks. Just what the Ashworth Farm needed.
On the way home, we got to talking about critters and I told a story about a giant spider, a giant lizard, a cobra who greeted me on my first day of service, and a less giant lizard called a Tokay. The largest of the gecko family of lizards comin' in at about a foot. One of these blue/grey red spotted fellows, (aren't they all male?) lived on my roof, I think, and came into my bathroom to scare the socks off me. While he remained still and quiet, he occationally would hiss if I got too close. The quiet bit was only during the time we shared the bathroom. Several times through the night, he would call, "TO-Kay, TO-Kay, TO-Kay," up to 4 times, as 5 times was supposed to bring luck.
By the way, this was when I lived in Thailand. These critters don't hang around the bathrooms of Wallingford.
