Slippery slope
Yesterday, at about the same time that America slipped back into the hands of the Republicans, I went and defecated. While I was sitting waiting for the inevitable shit to fall, I heard a sort of slapping noise such as might be made by a lizard falling onto a damp bar of soap.
I looked up to find a Gecko sitting on my Imperial Leather. As I watched it scampered back up the wall to resume his important work terrorising mosquitoes in my lavatory. But has he climbed his feet were slipping on the wall and a couple of times he lurched back toward the ground as he lost grip, like a contestant in It’s A Knockout. Despite his ungainly lurchings, and a couple of times when I thought he might fall, he ended up back on top, sitting on the cornice, ready to continue his reign of terror.
He must have played his joker.

Imperial Leather. Makes you sound like some sort of bushily mustached colonial with a rifle who wonders why one can’t get cucumber sandwiches and dundee cake at 4pm. On another note, do you check the toilet for prescence of gecko before you use it?

No, but I can always see Gecko shit on the floor round the edge of the room. Fresh ones each morning, little black pellets with a white dot on them.
Last this morning as I was thinking about this blog entry while waiting in the toilet once again, I considered why the gecko fell on the soap in the first place. Maybe he lost his grip on the walls. Perhaps it wasn’t the soap that made him slip and slide in a comical way as he climbed back up the wall, maybe his magic-gecko wall-climbing feet were somehow compromised, perhaps by a cruel genetic coincidence, and as a result he constantly slips and slides about, and occasionally falls off alltogether.

"….a lizard falling onto a damp bar of soap."
Sounds like a euphemism for unenthusiastic onanism.
I went to Christy and Dans classes for the first time last night, one class in Lindy one in 20’s Charlston. Plus a bit of DC shim sham. I really dig their teaching
good fun, they teach lots of technique, with a healthy bit of sillyness.
Whoop whoop
