And now for something completely different

While you are waiting for me to put together my long-overdue replies to Graham Edwards and Snowbrush that I promised to do "in my next post" several posts back, please amuse yourselves, every last one of you, by listening to:

A Scottish granny read 'The Wonky Donkey' to her grandchild (4:16)

  3. I found the Wonky Donkey in a bookshop a few years ago - and sent a copy to a friend who blogs as the Procrastinating Donkey. Both of us love it.
