Goetertjie

Since we moved into our new house in Uitenhage about a month ago we have been sharing our home with these little guys. We seem to have at least one of them in every room. I have gotten so used to them that I invariably look up at the ceiling when I enter a room to see where they are.

My wife and I have started to call them "goetertjies" which translated to English would probably be translated as " thingy" .

This afternoon my wife rescued one in her office from the dog who wanted to play with it , and after some trouble i got this one to pose for a couple of photos.

so here you go :
