Yesterday's weather: Warm, mostly sunny 26 degrees
We had a lovely day out yesterday, showing off the local beauty spots to my brother and his family. The weather has been very kind and even last night was mild.
Our young nephew has been enjoying our cats and spotting the local wildlife, particularly lizards. Whilst his parents and Jon were browsing a shop yesterday I sat outside with Joe as he had an ice cream. Suddenly a lizard fell from nowhere and landed a couple of feet from us. Joe was very concerned as we watched it for signs of life. Joe was convinced it was dead but wanted to check, he gently rolled a small pebble towards the lizard. Not a sign of movement. He moved closer, still nothing. 'It's dead.' he said, looking more worried. After all, we hadn't known where it had fallen from, there were no plants around and the nearest wall was several feet away.
Joe gently moved towards the lizard with a small stick in the hand that wasn't clutching his ice cream (caramel flavoured, in case you are interested). 'It's definitely dead, Aunty Sue' he claimed, bending down to take a closer look. Suddenly the lizard had had enough, leapt to life and disappeared through a gateway. Joe was so surprised he almost dropped the rest of his ice cream. It was a close shave.
Oh, Joe.

Just tell him to be careful when closing any windows in the house! Ali still goes into trauma-mode when anyone mentions lizards!!!
