Flying Donkeys!

Foal flying along the ground...


Fuzzy trotter-donkeys!


What's the saying... stubborn as a..? What? A greedy swine who insists you drag along a load five times too heavy, then looks surprised when this happens..?



The famous Russian parasailing donkey...

... poor swine!

Donkey Derby II

THE CUTE fuzzy old donkeys are raring to go:



And they're off!



Giddy up now, you swine!



Approaching the finish line...
(It was a long race: note how the riders have aged)



And the winner is:



"We came last in the donkey derby!"
"And we're covered in fur!!"



"I can't run very fast either!"



"But you've got longer legs than us!!!!"

Boxing Day 2009: Snow Donkies and Cloud Dogs

FURRY FRIDAY ON SATURDAY!
ALL SNOW AND ICE is gone: London looks normal again.

Pictures: Lovely Dalston, North London Line train Hackney (previously called "the free line" due to utter lack of ticket checks), Chelsea mansion blocks. I wanna live in an apartment like that one day...

And here's some...

CLOUD DOGS
Are apparently called Bichon Frises (never knew that before!)
I really want a huge Wolfhound type dog and one of these:




SNOW DONKEYS
A tribute montage to TrotterDonkies in inclement weather everywhere...



GOATS, DONKEYS, HORSES IN FRESH SNOW
A video tribute to Billygoats and Hooved Trotters on snowy farms everywhere...



TITANIC theme music
MY HEART WILL GO ON
... I wasn't too impressed by Celine's vocal yesterday... this is the only Celine song I REALLY like... those Scottish pan pipes... and what a film! All the press it got during shooting made it sound like a flop in the making and didn't it gross $1.6 BILLION..??!? Wow!



... Look at this cute fuzzy donkey burying its nose...



... and... last but not least, a baby cloud dog
(a bichon frise puppy)
how cute!



Hope y'all had a good one... if your Xmas wasn't merry, then I hope at least it was tolerable... Take care and a happy 2010!

Xmas Eve 2009

It rained here in London last night.



The streets are more like ice rinks than ever before. I have to walk on the highway to avoid skating everywhere...
(Isn't New York wonderful..!)



Huge Xmas rush in the shops...



Steady on now, people. Where's this "Christmas Spirit" y'll go on about...?!?



I'm off to get a small fishtank full of methadone as we speak...



Don't the Trotter Donkeys look beautiful in the snow!


A snowy donkey in summertime!



Wishing you all the very best of luck with families, cooking, logistics, wine, celebrations... etc... tomorrow!



Have a cracker of a day!!



Absolute cracker number one Xmas song:
The Pogues + Kirsty McColl
FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK



LEONA LEWIS BETTER IN TIME JASON NEVINS REMIX
What a voice this girl has! I think this is her best song/mix so far:



HAPPY
This is Leona's latest release. I wonder if the person who wrote the tune was English..? It sounds really English to me...

Brrr III

THERE'S SLUSH EVERYWHERE



Pavements are still slippery.
(This picture may come from New York.... ahem!)



The Trotter Donkies dream of long days in summer meadows...



Hey I thought MY name was Trotter Donkey!



I say, Mummy! Can you hear the chipmunk squeaking at us!?!



Hey we were called Trotter Donkies before you. And we've been in a donkey derby!



Talking of snowy donkies...



... don't freeze yer ass off!



Wah wah waaah!!

OH FATHER ~ a lovely wintry video from Madonna:

Brrr II

LONDON HAD MORE SNOW last night...



Several Eurostar trains running London-Paris broke down in the undersea tunnel, leaving thousands of French passengers stranded in London | not to mention Brits marooned in Paris. Several hundred people had to wait many hours to be rescued from the defunct trains. There is chaos at St Pancras International and Paris Nord and no-one knows quite when they'll get back for Xmas...



It snowed at the donkey sanctuary too.



Hello Big Ears!



Luckily a Siberian horse-rustler gave the Trotter Donkies shelter ...



No more donkey derbies for the time being, then...



Seasonal Greetings to y'all ..!



CLOUD DOGS!
We have a Trotterdonkey doggie like this on our road. One day I want to get one of these, as well as a Gwendolina and a fuzzy donkey...

Donkey Derby!

FURRY FRIDAY ON SATURDAY!

Yes! The sharp-eyed amongst you will notice these pixx are conflated from several derby days of the donkey kind...

DONKEYS ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITE ANIMALS. AREN'T THEY FURRY AND CUTE!!

Chomping at the bit (hardly!)... the furry donkeys cannot wait to race!



All the Trotter Donkeys in a row...



And off they ping!
(Reluctantly...)



... trotting away...!



Oh no! A wicked witch has cast a spell on the children!



The race took so long, the children who got on the donkeys aged 6 and 7 passed 13 years before the race finished!...



Giddy up now!



The lucky winner!



1. A little more sedate than the Kentucky Derby (this does have moving pictures after a brief photomontage)... or the Grand National (as featured in National Velvet) for that matter... a GENUINE DONKEY DERBY!



2. Aww! Look at all the furry donkeys...



3. Here's a one-girl donkey derby in Sweden or somewhere... What beautiful countryside!
