While I am down in the Lowveld I am staying temporarily with my business partner’s Aunt on La Roy Wildlife Estate (just outside of Nelspruit). It has become my sanctuary where I escape to every day after a long day at the gallery. Poor woman is currently drinking WAY MORE wine than she ever did… Can’t let the guest drink alone…
As I crawled into my fantastic bed in my fantastic room overlooking a klip-koppie that regularly have monkey, mongoose, impala, and various other critters staring at me on occasion, my eye caught movement above my head. A VERY LARGE gecko was trying to very unobtrusively move across the sealing. Let’s just say this gecko was borderline Komodo dragon. If he falls from that roof it will make an actual hole in the mattress, and I will be escorted out in a straight jacket to the waiting ambulance, with some stranger whispering soothing words in my ear.
I slept with one eye open the whole night. Ok almost the whole night cause Komodo dragon disappeared sometime through the night. Probably opened the door and walked out.
How am I going to get through this day? Will have to keep the other eye open…
