It’s dusty and warm again today. I’d love to. jump into a cold bath. The goats are out there busily stripping a little bush of its leaves - they never last long once the goats see them. I fed the lizards with some carrots today. I felt sorry for them. They are like little dogs, scampering after peelings when I throw them something. There is a real pecking order and the big lizards drop from the wall with a thundering slap, onto the cement, and chase the little ones away.
I’m amazed at the tenacity of the plants here. The morning glory flowers brightly each day, only to shrivel up at the end of the day. I have a bush with bright yellow flowers on it today. I hope the goats will leave it alone until I’ve had a chance to take a photograph. The wind and dust are blowing it all over the place so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
I’m intrigued by the toilet rolls. As the roll gets smaller, so do the size of the sheets. For a while they were only about 2cms wide and now the roll is almost at an end and there are no sheets at all, just a continuous piece of paper.
I’ve discovered another animal friend in the house. It’s a jumping spider. I bent down to have a closer look and was taken by surprise when it jumped up and almost hit my nose. It is fun chasing it across the floor and watching it jump along as if on springs. It will be company for my flat spiders. They are so flat when they move around a corner they practically slither around rather than walk.
