I really don’t know why they don’t listen to me. Hmmm. I’ve been telling them for days that there’s been a Cecil in the yard but they only take notice when M Kaz screams “Snake! Snake!” She is such a baby about them. It’s not like they’re going to eat her on anything. And it’s not like I’m going to get out to go and play with Cecil, or bring him inside. Do Cecils eat Lennie’s? Is that why they haven’t been around for yonks?
There have been other lizards in the yard – I was able to play with one the other day while I was out there until it stopped moving … should have called it Possum because when I went off to the other end of the yard to find his friends he wandered off – M Kaz watched him take himself off under a leaf on the lawn … that’s if you can call it a lawn – it’s getting a bit long for that – which is why M Kaz didn’t see Cecil straight away. Hands up everyone else who thinks I won’t be allowed to go outside for a while – at least until Jazz comes to do the mowing, weeding and whipper-snippering.
