I had a little down time today thanks to some tree loppers taking out the broadband cables so went out to lunch. When I returned and opened the front door I put my bare foot down on something cold and scaly. I looked down to see a blue tongue lizard sitting on my doorstep.

I was a bit stumped about what to do as one of these took the end of a kids finger off a few years back (according to the news). I had only put my toes on him so it didn’t seem to have slowed him down. After a brief pause for us both to get over the shock he charged into one of my computers. I had left the case open due to a problem with the graphics card. He crawled into the hard drive bay and wouldn’t come out. My solution was to put the PC out in the garden and build a little brick cave for him to crawl into. It took him about 30 minutes to be coaxed out but eventually I recovered the PC.
