All your responses are more than i could have hoped for. And as for the 50'S sci fi coment - thanks. Maybe its obvious afterall. I'm a bit of a fan and I love John Windham Lol.

Just wonderful. You made me Google "lizards" and "Ireland." And that's exactly what it said, legend has it that St. Patrick drove all the reptiles out of Ireland, except for the common lizard, it seems. You write a perfect little 50s scifi monster movie in a few paragraphs, each paragraph upping the sense of dread, but at the same time, the story stays light and humorous. We're left to ponder, why the lizards would be so happy; hmm ... global warming? :) Perfectly paced and written! Brilliant, Bridgeen. Just wonderful.

Big fun, ma'am. Nice work. Heh… this SHOULD be horrifying – you’re talking about an infestation that won’t stop growing, after all – but you manage to make it sound almost quaint.

I love a sense of humour with my reading (but prefer brown sauce with my lizard!) I've met that lizard. He used to be very friendly but I've no idea whether he's gotten crotchety with age. Fab.
