Yes, a lizard!! I was petrified!! I must admit I did scream a little, wouldn't you?
It was one of those little black lizards you find in the grass in NSW, I forget the name. Probably harmless, but it didn't half make me jump!
It must have got there from my sons swimming towel which I retrieved from the garden the day before when I hung it over the balcony to dry off and then forgot about.
Without thinking, I grabbed the fly and spider killer and sprayed it. I know, shameless, straight afterwards I felt really bad for the poor little guy as he scrambled deeper into the dirty washing, if that wasn't bad enough, the poor thing was amongst dirty boys underpants!
I walked away and decided to leave it until the hubby came home to deal with. Half an hour later I plucked up the courage to tackle it myself as I was on a guilt trip for not putting a load of washing on and it was passed 2pm. So, I sort through the washing, shaking each piece as I go, and then he falls on the floor with an arched back, going round in circles. I feel even worse now, what have I done to this poor little creature.
Out comes the brush and dustpan and in I scoop him and then put him back into his natural habitat of the back garden.
I hope he's okay! I feel bad! Cruel or what?
