Giantmonk is such a lazy thing, sometimes.

Sleep is an important part of life for all mammals, which we all must indulge in nightly to stay fit and healthy.

Doctors believe that a minimum of six hours a night is needed to keep an adult fit and healthy, as sleep is the time when the body regenerates cells and the brain can review it’s workings and experiences in able to form new connections. Though six hours seems to be the minimum amount of sleep the body and brain should properly function on, eight hours helps the body and brain feel more rested and refreshed. More sleep means more cell regeneration, more brain connections.

So, as I am always on a quest to be as healthy as I can, treating my body as a temple and all that, I try to get a minimum of 18 hours sleep a day.

Sometimes people come up to me and ask ‘what came first, the chicken or the Egg?’ which is an odd question as chickens have been around in one form or another for hundreds of thousands of years, whereas Egg only came to live with us in 2005.

Friends of Monkey, and to a lesser extent Mimi, have done the most wonderful thing and clubbed together to buy a iDoodad touchpod, or something. It’s all shiny touch screen and app-loaded, bells and whistles, gloss and sparkles. I’m not sure what it does but the upshot is that I can take loads of pictures and update this blog really quickly and easily now, even whilst relaxing in my armchair with a  Monkey beer, taking big lung-fulls of next doors barbecue smell whilst contemplating toasting some crumpet whilst watching the football.

I am now a positively mobile Monkey.
