Because I only have 2000 square centimetres of garden, there is no need for me to use a hose to water. Instead, I have this cute little purple watering can that has been around as long as I can remember.
I was filling up my watering can from the kitchen sink tap (my garden is on the kitchen balcony) when suddenly a 5cm long lizard jumped out of the watering can and onto my arm. He proceeded to run and jump around until I persuaded him onto a chopping board which I carried outside. It all happened too quickly for me to get a photo, but he's a regular around my apartment, so I'm sure I'll be seeing him again. But I won't be seeing him jumping out of my watering can as I'll be checking next time before I start filling it up!

Was it one of those dreaded house geckos? Have enough of those where I live and they're always popping up from the most unexpected places!
ReplyDeleteYes it was! I like them (when they're expected) but my wife is not a fan.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love the photography on your blog!
Just caught up with your comment Kitchen Gardener ... thanks very much, glad you enjoy the photos from up here.
ReplyDeleteHouse geckos are the bain of my life ... we have an old Queensland home with verandahs wrapped around three sides. They leave their mess everywhere on the verandah as well as in the house. They're worse than cockroaches!
