I am a donkey. I live with my donkey son Morris and my donkey friend Matilde (who has a daughter Aitana who is a bit of a silly horse) on a donkey farm called El Parral in the mountains near Benidorm, the capital of Spain. We have a Peasant who looks after us: he brings our food, sweeps up, does odd jobs, and helps put on our Santa hats for the annual Christmas photo (as we can't put them on ourselves.)

When the Peasant gave us our breakfast this morning he said, “Happy Boxing Day, donks!” We were a bit puzzled by this, and Morris didn’t have time to look it up on the Interweb thingy because he was too busy eating his breakfast. However, all was explained later. Boxing Day is the day when you … More Happy Boxes Day
So here we are on a cold afternoon in the notnice weather. It stopped raining an hour ago and we came out of the stable to stand here and stare at the house. If we stare at the house hard enough, the Peasant comes out and brings food. We know the Peasant is in the … More Tuesday in the notnice weather
