The Gecko Insurrection Is Not Over
Posted 13 February 2009 in Life, the Universe, and Everything by Catriona
The saga started, as you know, with the disappearance of my fabulous tweezers.
Then my tweezers returned.
And I thought then that the gecko insurrection movement might have gone underground, or that, perchance, they were abandoning their revolutionary plans.
But, no.
Because I’ve just been in the bathroom.
And my fabulous tweezers are still there, but one of the other two pairs has disappeared now.
So perhaps the return of the fabulous tweezers was a sympathetic gesture, a kindness from the small lizards to the humans they are planning to overthrow.
But, clearly, they still need tweezers to carry out their plans—whatever those plans might be.
(This, incidentally, is the one-year anniversary of Circulating Library: I wrote my inaugural post on the 13th of February last year. So the fact that this, my 513th post, is about my revolutionary geckoes, is a nice encapsulation of the way the blog has expanded its boundaries in the last twelve months.)

Aw, thanks, Wendy! That’s so kind of you.
I’m a little worried, though, that the last post on the gecko insurrection is like to be “Anyone who can hear this, send a SWAT team. With butterfly nets! Oh, my god—they’re breaking breaking through the perimeter. They’re . . . nooooooo!”

This house is swarming with geckos and I’ve had a rather large cheese grater go missing. It has simply vanished! Should I be worried?

I’d say so, Libby! (Welcome to the blog!) I was worried enough about my cheese slicer, and that only worked on soft cheese like Edam. Imagine what they can do with an entire cheese grater!

Happy Anniversary, its also the highlight of my day. I think that the gecko posts are a perfect way to celebrate the unique stylings of Treenas blog
