Kinder Surprise

 I'm weeding in the front garden and I find the discarded capsule from a Kinder Surprise. I hold it to my ear and it rattles. The toy is still inside. How exciting!

So what is it?

It's a donkey. 

I don't think anything like this ever happens by accident. So what does it mean?

My mother loved donkeys. Used to support a donkey sanctuary. Perhaps it's a communication from her. Like, "I'm still around. Carry on. You're doing fine...."

Ailz sometimes calls me Donkey. First time she did it I thought it was because I was so well hung. "No" she said, "It's because you eat so much".  Maybe this is affirming donkey as my spirit animal. I used to think it was  otter but donkey may fit me better. Especially as I get older- and slower. No problem. Donkeys are patient, gentle. long suffering. Yes, I'll have some of that 

Whatever...

I dig my donkey.

I've put it on display.....
