Baby geckos, dead cane toads and life sapping heat

I love geckos. I always have.

As I curious, wonder-filled child, I would watch them walk across walls like they were on the floor. I thought it was magic.

Not like 'the opposite of science' magic, but rather the 'life is so cool!' magic.

Cane toads, on the other hand, have not won a place in my heart. They are a beast of a pest that has caused so many issues across Australia.

They're better dead, but even then, they still disgust me. I wish there was a good solution for eradicating them, but no one has found it yet.

Both geckos and cane toads, and a myriad of other animals seem to thrive in this persistent hot, humid weather.

Me? Not so much much.

I mean, I cope okay, but on days like this, I'm definitely not thriving.

I got out of bed, and got in the pool.

I served a client (in the air-conditioning) and then got in the pool.
