A Gecko ran up my leg!
I was just called over to our neighbours by Daryl, who is trying to replace the 'whirlygig' washing line thingy that was damaged by the branch that fell off our tree in the storm.He was trying to get the concrete cylinder that the broken one had been fixed into out of the ground but it was too heavy for one.We did get it out eventually.....which was pleasing.....as 'man jobs' like that are not usually my forte.I was feeling full of testosterone and my voice had noticeably deepened as Daryl was wondering how he could make a cylinder to fill with new concrete to hold the new 'whirlygig' washing line thingy..."I could use plant pots, " he said."Yes!" I said gruffly!He found some empty ones that would work perfectly but they must have been home to a startled gecko that fled as he picked them up.......and it ran up my leg as far as my knee.I squealed like a girl until it ran down again......and my manly moment was gone!I learned two things from this....i) Geckos have very rough feet'ii) Geckos also wet themselves when they are scared!
