The week's #donkey manure ready for collection. Sixteen 42 litre buckets waiting at the Poo Gate.

Spanish Ministry of Agriculture requires declaration of the outgoing weekly quantity of poo (estiércol) on a registered control form detailing my farm registry number and those of all the receiving farms. (The estiércol here is collected by a registered organic orange orchard.)

#burrocracy gone mad!
Poo total for 2022 = 8,320 kg

#donkeyoftheday 53:

In "Platero y Yo" - a gem of Spanish literature - Juan Ramón Jiménez narrates the spiritual relationship between man and burro: a literary thread with a long history in Spain.

Illustration by A.Úbeda of Platero braying in a mystical manner in response to the village church bell.

"...el rebuzno se le endulza, altivo, y, rastrero, se le diviniza..."

"...the bray is sweetened, haughty, and, creeping, it is deified..."
