Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. Cloudy but dry this morning. 17.9°C outside. No air movement, so it should be a decent day ahead. I'm going to see an old friend today, his name is Pedro, he's a donkey. He's a lovely old lad, Vera and I came across him at a small sanctuary attached to a pub, called The Wonky Donkey, many years ago, I discovered he is now about six miles away. So I'm going to take him some carrots. :o} Apart from that just the usual running around.

Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning to you boaty. Love the name Wonky Donkey. I wonder if Pedro will remember you. Years ago our family lived by a very individual personality in the form of a large Billygoatnamed William. We we living nearby for about six months then left. Many years later my sister visited him. He recognised her immediately and was very excited and happy to see her. Animals are more aware than we realise.

Morning David. I think he will, for the reason you state. He didn't have a good time in his younger days. He was owned by gypsies, they abandoned him, tethered, on a patch of grass by a main road. He was rescued by the Donkey Sanctuary in Devon. He was in a poorly state and they were not sure he would survive. He was nursed back to good health and went to the small sanctuary at the Wonky Donkey, where Vera and I first came across him.

Good morning all.

Look forward to hearing about Pedro's reaction Boaty.

Of the 3 tradespeople due, the tree people came bang on time at the weekend; so far so good. The dehumidifiers are due between 8 and 9 today and then it's the 'carpet inspector' early on Friday. Let's hope for 3 out of 3.

Morning arrods. Looking good mate.

I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes with Pedro. Donkey's are known to have good memories, we shall see.

If you have a spare builder Arrods, send 'em up to Mintys place.
