Blue Tongue Lizard Eating Dogfood from Vectesian Lad
Envious of the publicity given to the GGG, in Voice’s back yard column, the
green fingered Vectesian’s lizard wanted celeb status.
Not content with wining and dining on rain water and dog food, the little
squamata craved WDA,P&W notoriety. And after much prevailing and lobbying,
managed to jostle onto the ‘latest post’ list.
I helped the little cutie, BTW. Not that you’d know–he’s done a bunk
now–he’s hiding somewhere!
That’s the rich & famous for you; Bugger orf when it suits them.
He/she may come back. One day. Things are different now though. The old
fence has gone and a concrete driveway has appeared. The muddy path has
disappeared, just like yesterday’s papers.
Perhaps an ad in Rupert’s Gold coast Bulletin, might attract him/her back:
Wanted!: Ex-companion to the rich & famous, looking for lizard’s
company…free food and lodging!
Window Dresser's Arms, Pig & Whistle 
Julian! All this time! And you can really write (we knew that) but Julian you can really and truly write (we knew that) but but Julian…!
Awwww! Isn’t he nice writing about lizards and everything. Awwww!
FABULOUS!

Is this a photo of the squashed squamata that you wrote about earlier? Is it pre- or post-accident?

Yes, ‘this’ is the little squashed squashed (sorry, I couldn’t resist that). He/she unsquashed itself, then nibbled at the dog food.
It’s not around now, but I will investigate after all the kerfuffle of the break settles down.
Som from UK ringing–so toodle pip and HNY.
AND thanks for posting the lizard xx

Now, that’s not the new year spirit Algy. However it is the way of the world, unfortunately. Let’s hope the Abbott, makes a slip this year–and Malcolm gobbles him up 😉

I was thinking that you lizard eats grubs and as Voices Grub was a fine specimen for a lizard that you lizard maybe interested. I’m sure there are many grubs you lizard could feast on the Gold Coast.

True, Algernon. The joint is jumping at the mo. There are grockles (IOW slang for holidaymakers) thronging the boulevards, buying Chinese tee shirts emblazoned with ” SURFERS”!
There are a lot from Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. So you’d be spot on about the grubs!

Killing two metaphorical birds with a single metaphorical stone, algie. Good problem solving skills there.

Looking forward to a walk in the park. It’s a small botanical garden and there are water dragons and black swans frolicking. The other side is a nice dog walk.
I’ve got to blow the cobwebs away from last night–after watching people (rellies), seeing in the New Year. Me sober… Them talking double Dutch.

The Gold Coast Bulletin could be just the place for such an ad to attract applicants, but I doubt you’d find any returning after the initial interview. 🙂

I’ll settle for an old down an out–if’n they have a sense of humour.

Oh dear no, I wasn’t suggesting that you would need to settle; merely that they would likely be expecting someone in a dress. But if you set up an old pipe in an area of low bushes and green ground-cover that the dogs can’t get to, you shouldn’t have any problems. Throw in a pile of old tomato bushes, or maybe something green that you haven’t put any poisons on, and they’ll be in heaven.

A terracotta pipe in the back garden really does become bluetongue heaven. Had a few at the old house. The little terrier couldn’t get to the lizards within their pipe home.
