Wildlife within

This little chap was hanging around on the ceiling above my desk. When I tried to persuade him to go out of the window, he dropped onto the desk (leaving a slimy belly print on the glass surface) then scooted off behind the bookshelf. Hope he's found the way out of the front door now.

On one of our first days here the cat was delighted to catch a gecko. She cheerfully trotted up to the house with it in her mouth - still alive but bleeding from its tail - and had lots of fun chasing it around the porch until David rescued it and set it free in the garden where - we hope - it might have recovered. The cat hasn't come back with any more since then - perhaps they taste nasty.
