Yeah .. my concete void has finally been filled ..
Concrete Void
I’m becoming impatient,
Here waiting,
Waiting for a concrete lid.
Too many stop signs,
And lifetime bans.
I’m a good man,
So I’ve been told.
But there’s a chasm,
And the concrete’s,
Yet to fill the void.
……..To my readers that knew about my new verandah, “now nine months old”, and sadly it has been without the patio/floor area being concreted for all that time.. Yippee, today the mission has been accomplished. Thanks to my newly appointed concreter “Damian Maloney”, Yep, he’s on my recommended list. And Lizzy The Lizard Of Wizardry, was curiously looking on…..

Delighted you’ve finally got i finished. Gosh, look at that lizard… Are they dangerous?

I suppose if your a snail or a snake you might be in danger, they’re good for keeping snakes away. Basically they’re quite shy, he doesn’t trust me yet… so he’s always scooting off…

I can understand how Lizzie deals with snails, but how does she keep the snakes at bay – are they scared of her?
