Another popular Donald McGill seaside postcard of the early 1950s, using his recurring donkey motif.

For non-native speakers of English: a bottle of stout is associated with a northern English industrial working class drinking culture of the period: a dark malt beer.

See the ALT-text description and comments.

"Take me to Haymarket, my good man!"

Aitana in the last of the afternoon sun.

Soon - as the sun drops behind the trees and the temperature falls - Aitana will be back inside her warm winter blanket. The unusual cold wind continues here in the Costa Blanca. Come on, spring: where are you?

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

The children's TV broadcaster ass: "OK kiddies, how do we tell the difference between a donkey, a zorse and a zonkey?"

Is it surprising kids don't understand animals, when mad adults explain things so weirdly ?

And guess what? These are professional zookeepers and broadcasters!

The #Monbray balloon panic.

The donkeys hid in the stable, spooked by a semi-deflated balloon which had landed under a lemon tree.

"Look at its face," said Rubí donkey. "Undoubtedly Chinese!"

"Spying on our carrots!" said Matilde donkey.

"Spy balloons were first used in the Siege of Paris in 1870," said Morris donkey, reading from Wikipedia.

"It was prolly just let go by a child," said Aitana donkey. "Now she is very sad."

The other donkeys all glared at Aitana.

#donkeyoftheday 67:

Evidence for working donkeys can be traced back 7,000 years. It is now believed through DNA tracing they were first domesticated by humans before horses, as they are suited to arid environments.

(Photo: Andrew Holt, in Smithsonian Magazine article "Scientists Uncover the Story of Donkey Domestication" 02/09/22.)

Currently there are 50 million donkeys and many still perform important working roles as draught animals.
