A sight to wake up to

December 25th, 2011 at 5:33 pm by David Farrar

It’s Xmas morning in Africa, and I got woken up by a loud banging on my window.  As my eyes adjust to being open, the banging carries on and I see staring in at me a fairly large baboon.

This is definitely a first – being woken up by a baboon knocking on my window. Well at least a first to have the baboon trying to get in, not get out :-)

    DPF gets woken up by an angry baboon in the middle of the night.

    John Key gets woken up by a drunken baboon texting in the middle of the night.

    Merry Xmas DPF!

    We brought our white-ware over when we immigrated; it has been a continual source of amazement to visitors that fridges are locked to keep monkeys out.

    As someone who has survived 21 years of marriage, it is not good form to refer to your Missus as a baboon when she is waking you up with a cup of tea

    “It’s Xmas morning in Africa, and I got woken up by a loud banging on my window.”

    Be honest.

    At first you thought it was another 2 am visit from Chucky Chauvel.

    Well it’s started DPF. This was meant for KIWIBLOGGERS to take the piss.

    How many baboons were inside, and how many were missing out?
    Baboons are special

    I guess in some parts of the world when they call it ‘Rough Trade’, it really is that rough . . .

    Still, a Baboon’s gotta make a living, and it beats going thorugh garbage…

    You could just leave a couple of bananas on the dresser David and put it down to experience, just don’t give it your mobile number..
