M.I.A. – Monkey In Action
Never let a monkey do a man’s job..
Seriously, monkey’s are not renowned for their punctual preparation of of reports, or punctual anything for that matter.
When was the last time you saw a monkey wearing a watch?
(Although an internet search could almost certainly change that)
For the first part of my travels, he was a travelling companion – a daring escape from his institutionalised office life, inspired by a longing for his homeland, at exactly the same time I departed, brought us together for a few brief but enjoyable months.
Once institutionalised, it can be hard to break free and the familiar and secure confines of an office desk drawer proved to be an irresistible draw and the easier option for Monkey Mansergh, once his curiosity had been sated.
He is now presumably well settled, back working the 9 – 5. Although his office duties are minimal, he has still not found the time to send me the account of his adventure for publishing here.
Perhaps he needs more typewriters?
I have heard that for good quality writing, monkeys need many, many typewriters. One million is the figure I have been quoted.
Or was that a million monkeys? Maybe both?
I’m not sure..
In any case, in the absence of an accompanying report, here are the photos of Monkey Mansergh, Missing in Action:

Was very glad to see the photographic evidence of MMs travels
)
Thought you should know that he enjoyed travelling so much that he’s currently on Safari with Ben in Kenya, so hopefully evidence of those travels will appear as well!
