That's true. Akenhateon means the likes of me.

My pond has a colony of newts. Don't think he'd like them though. A couple of them seem to be into soft furnishings, parrot weed goes sooooo divine with lumps of igneous rock.   The frogs are disgusted by their presence though, and reckon they will spread disease if they don't have their lifestyle reported on a list.

Back to the newts... They seem to survive the winter ok. I put a couple of balls in the pond to stop it freezing fully over, which helps them, the frogs and a couple of small snakes that have taken up residence recently.

Lizard brain? My niece in Singapore inherited an iguana that came with the house. It didn't have a name and I suggested Isambard. It stuck. I have been a few times and have had the novelty of taking him for walks on his lead. He has far more brains than a certain greyhound not a million miles from where I am sat.
