Gecko tale



Us Queenslanders do enjoy our little geckos. Although - I suspect this gecko isnt the one of the native variety and is in fact an Asian pest that has populated the town via illegal entry....

There are no spiders in my house EXCEPT for in the loo and the bathroom - where we have never seen a gecko. I don't worry about spiders either - so long as they live by the "above head height" rule they can stay. But if they venture down below head height.. they have to be moved outside.

We see the geckos in every other room, and delight when they sing to each other either around the house or the garden. Vocal and lusty little creatures. Bit of singing.. then one peeks out of one painting and the other from a blind.... and one of them scurries to the other.

Another of lifes wonderful things. EXCEPT! LOOK!



It HAS to be gecko poo. There is simply no other explanation.

On my new yellow paint. That attracts bugs just for them. Sigh.
