Anyone else found a newt in their dining room tonight?

I love newts. I still see some great crested ones from time to time. I used to be a master newt catcher in my youth, having spent numerous hours fishing them out of my pond by hand.  The pond was full of them.

I must admit to never having one turn up randomly in my house, though!

Not sure about the ones living under my block paving as there's no ponds around. Quite tricky during evening times as the congregate by the garage side door and I have to be careful not to stand on them.  

I've only one newt anecdote ...

When I was about 6 years old ... playing in the back garden barefoot, then for whatever reason we were heading out and I needed some shoes on. I went into the garage, and put my foot into a welly ... yep, straight onto a newt !! I never even knew they existed before then, but I can remember the speed that I ran back into the house :lol:
