Angela and I don’t live in the house alone in fact when we go to sleep things get quite busy in the other rooms. Large spiders live in the bathroom-something to look at whilst taking a shower.
We have an agreement - we don’t bother moving the spiders and they don’t bother us.
Ants run around the kitchen we try to keep those down with a spray.
Geckos live in most rooms and tend to hide behind picture frames and they come out at night to eat insects. If I had to guess I would say in the 6 rooms we have there are maybe 8 geckoes living in various cracks and behind picture frames.
Picture taken this morning when I got up it hadnt gone to bed.
Geckos interesting (?) facts:
If you hold a light up to one ear of some geckos, the light will shine clear through the head and out the other ear.
How did they get the Gecko to stay still long enough to find that out? Right where’s my torch?
Geckos have millions of tiny hairs on their feet so they appear to stick to ceilings etc.
I have just noticed two creatures were not quick enough when the bedroom door was shut one time, they are paper thin - is the lowest one a cockroach?'
Well they will be able to take the place over completly this weekend as we are on the move and moving across town to a lovely timber framed house on concrete stilts with a balcony to put the hammock on.
It is a more typical Kamai house and we are looking forward to posting some pictures of it although it will not be vacant for 3 weeks and we are staying with Wendy our friend and fellow Volunteer in the meantime. All luggage and furniture, not that we have much of that, has to be moved on Bicycle or motorbike. As they say in Great Harwood: it will be rheet. - Sorry- It'll be rheet.
We're moving house too, although for the second time. We;re looking forward to running water again, what a luxury! Good luck with your move, I know where you're going and it's a great house.
