I came across you in the desert one day with your big bulging eyes, scaly armour, don't know why you panicked and turned a dark grey, since Culture Club sang you were calmer. I'd love to have seen other colours you do from sky blue to grass green, muddy brown, but you crawled round and round on my patterned beach towel and suffered a nervous breakdown.

Too many colours on my towel, it couldn't cope. Thanks for dropping by, Indiana, Viv x

Yes, Jan, every time one hears the song one thinks of the original video, not the bald lardy who really ought to stop using mascara . Viv x

Thanks Laura, just an excuse for a bit of word play, really. Sorry if it left you humming the song for the rest of the day, Viv x
