Today it is my 8th birthday. I have been looking through the archives of the old website and have found a few pictures from when I was younger, fluffier, and slightly brighter in colour; and without the worn spots that have come from many cuddles, many adventures and from drying a few tears.

8 years of Monkey Adventures

In my time I have participated in the Olympics, swum the channel, eaten more bananas than you can possibly imagine, defended the planet as Supermonk, celebrated, been called some names, met the bloke from the Foxes Glacier Mints packet, met some native Americans and Billy Connelly, been an effigy in ice, visited family, embraced my hometown, been singing’ in the rain, documented all of my adventures on my monkey laptop and had a music career.  And much more.  I hope that I can have even greater adventures in my next eight years, but I am starting quietly.

Today it is just me and Mimi, so we aren’t going to be able to go out and have a Monkey beer and maybe some cake with friends, but my economy-size friend GiantMonk did find time to email me this picture:

Thankyou, Giantmonk x
