blue tongue lizard, blue tongue skink, surprise, blue tongue
...
With the heat we've been having recently, the news was warning people about the possibility of reptiles (i.e., snakes) coming into people's houses, looking for water.
Well ...
... no. It wasn't a snake.
But it was a reptile!
Coming through the lattice and onto the back patio looking to get a drink from the cats' water was this little guy:
That's right ... another blue-tongue skink (though not the same one who turned up not so long back).
He wasn't all that happy about being picked up, but I wanted to try and get one of him with his (blue) tongue out (but it didn't happen because he was so random at poking it out). Besides, I had to pick him up if I wanted to get him out of the house. Yep, he wandered right in through the back door like he owned the place! 
I didn't hold onto him for too long, because it was hot and he was hissing and I didn't want to stress him out too much (at all, really). So I asked Dee to get a bowl of water for me to put outside for him (so he ddn't have to risk caticide to get a drink), then we let him go.
Yay, wildlife!

dust storm, humour, fun, brisbane
...
Thousands of Australians today woke to find that not only they - but also everything around them - had been teleported to Mars in the largest alien abduction ever caught on film.
BEING ABDUCTED BY ALIENS - ALMOST AS GOOD AS AN ALARM CLOCKThe remarkable happenstance occurred first in Sydney, then worked its way up the east coast, engulfing Brisbane and surrounding suburbs.
LIKE THE COMMERCIAL SAYS, "NICE PLANET. KINDA DULL, THOUGHT".News outlets, in an attempt to quell public panic, reported the horrifying close encounter as a 'dust storm', and bandied about terms such as 'strong winds', 'inland New South Wales yesterday', 'sustained period' and '16,000 tonnes of dirt every hour over South-East Queensland', the last a sentence which always sets off the internal alarms of conspiracy theorists everywhere.

PRAY. PRAY FOR YOUR LIVES!
