Today I passed an unusual sight. There was an English tourist stamping his feet as if doing a
demented version of Morris dancing on a sea path. As I grew closer I realised that there was a huge lizard trapped
on the path between him and his young wife.
By jumping up and down he was herding the lizard towards his terrified
wife who was cringing fearfully and shouting at him simultaneously. I know it was cruel but it was also
funny. Eventually, the lizard, the
piggy in the middle, grew tired of this game and raced up a nearby wall to
safety. I passed the young man bent
double and weeping with laughter, while his irate partner beat him over the
head with her handbag. I have no idea
why this whole event had me smiling all the way home but it did.
