8 Years Old
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
Happy birthday Monkey! I hope you’ve got lots more lovely adventures ahead of you x
I raise a banana toast to you Monkey! Many happy returns of the day!
Happy Birthday Monkey! Have a long and happy life!!!!
Happy Birthday Monkey Man! 8 years young surely?
Happy Birthday Monkey – Go bananas! (Hee hee! Sorry, couldn’t resist). May I just say that your pictures from your adventures are all superb – in particular – you swimming and the one of you as snow monkey. Here’s to the next 8 years!

Happy Belated B-Day, Monkey! It is hard to believe that the time goes by that quickly!
Congrats on your future bananas and endeavours.

Undeniably imagine that that you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the easiest factor to remember of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while other people consider issues that they just don’t realize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing with no need side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
Hey! I’m at work surfing about your weblog from my new apple iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading through your weblog and appear forward to all your posts! Keep up the outstanding work!
flavors in really cute and ornamental containers too. There are other varieties of chocolates
Throughout this awesome pattern of things you’ll receive an A just for hard work. Exactly where you actually misplaced us was first in the specifics. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more correct right here. Having said that, permit me tell you just what exactly did work. Your article (parts of it) is actually rather engaging and this is possibly why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, even though I can certainly notice a jumps in reason you make, I am not really convinced of just how you seem to connect your ideas which in turn make your final result. For right now I will yield to your point but hope in the foreseeable future you actually link your facts better.
