#032 Blake the Orangutan


"Blake is a self-employed tree surgeon. He has set his pace of life to guarantee that he has plenty of time to smell the roses and steam-mop his slate bathroom floors. This orang-utan is a domesticated ape; he cleans, he bakes, and he spends three days a week changing nappies and making purée for his one-year-old twin daughters. Some say he is something of a modern philosopher, pulling insight a truth from his hairy navel as casually as others blow their noses. So when he’s not swinging from the treetops or wearing his apron, he’s keeping a journal that would be well worth a read." (Kerry Lord, Edward's Menagerie, 2014)
