Not so Leaping Lizards...

Last Friday on the way to school we picked up a small lizard, a gecko, from the footpath outside the school. It was suffering a fairly major gash to its small side. He then got taken into the school to be examined by 22 6 and 7 year olds. It got left at school over the weekend much to the consternation of Ben. Much perperation went into a Lizard house and, as in this picture, a Lizard Hospital. It has a lovely soft red velvet bed in it. He was still alive on Monday morning and then made the trip home. Unfortunately he passed away into that Big Lizard House in the Sky. Ben is still in denial about his passing and is quite convinced that he is just resting. One of Rose's collegues suggested that the red velvet would make a nice coffin lining. Nurses can really be quite callous...
