March 30th, 2025Good goat times today. The lovely weather continues. A bit cold and cloudy in the morning, but the sun came out well and we got up above 10C/50F and it was good.
The feathers joined outside again, it’s so nice to have them squawking around. Red Sonja seeking me out, hoping for treats. And the nice weather brought several groups of visitors. Kids feeding the goats and coming into the pen to pet them.
Just a good oldfashioned goat day, and now I’m going to top it off with soup, there it is.

Sky made it up on the platform today. She usually just sits in the grass and relaxes.

Had my half yearly checkup at the eye doc today. I was a little nervous about it, because I feel like my vision has gotten worse again. And becaus my eye doc’s office has moved. So there was the anxiety of going to a new place. But it turns out the new place is much more accessible to. Just the fact that I don’t have to take an elevator to get to the office, that’s nice. And there’s a bus line pretty much straight from my house to their office, and now it’s no longer in central Århus with all the traffic and people. All in all this change seems like a good change, for me.
And my eyesight, well doc said it hasn’t gotten worse, in fact it was a little better than last time. And the general eye health is still stable and expected to remain so for the foresee (heehee) able future.
So that was all pretty good. Got home and did an hour and a half on the exercise bike. Flapping on.

After the eye doc visit and the exercise, I did some more cleaning. Although this time less cleaning, more… window blocking. One of the reason I think I felt my eyesight had gotten worse is because the sun is shining more and more. It affects my eyesight. i’ve been thinking about blocking my windows to keep the sun out. I have curtains up of course, but when the sun blasts on my windows, it gets harder and harder to see.
I have some old blanket things, and today I put one up in front of one of my windows. I have 3 windows, one single and one double. Iput up the blanket to cover about 3/4ths of the double window. I have more blankets i can cover the other parts with, but I figure I’ll see how this works out first.
Many years ago i had my windows blocked off like this, for the same reason. I remember taking the blocking sheets down and being really happy to have sunshine back in my apartment. It’s kind of a double edged swords. Aren’t all swords double edged? Anyway. I do like to have the apartment lighter and feel the sun. But if it wrecks my eyesight is it worth it? I also worry if it will make my apartment colder, because I am sensitive to the cold.
But yeah, i’ll see how it goes with this blockage up. Maybe I’ll block off the rest of the windows later. Or maybe this is enough, the window parts that are blocked now are kind of pointing at my place where I sit at the computer, so having that part blocked off may be enough to help me.
Bla bla bla, tldr I hung up a sheet to cover part of my window.
I’ll report back on how it works for me. Today was grey and rainy, need a sunny day to see how it feels.
And i’ll just have to get my sunlight when I’m outside with the goats.

If you’re mad at Disney for making Snow White not white enough because in the original fairy tale she got the name because of her white skin, well I hope you’re mad about all the other changes Disney made when they adapted the fairy tale. I haven’t read the original fairy tale, but my understanding is that if Disney had made an adaptation that was true to their original, well it probably wouldn’t have made a great cartoon for kids. This new movie isn’t an adaptation of the fairy tale, it’s a live action version of their own cartoon.
Of all the things to be angry or upset about in this day and age, jesus forking christ. Humans are so stupid.
If you need Disney princesses to be super white, maybe don’t watch Disney movies anymore. The black mermaid should have tipped you off.
And i’m not rooting for the movie. All these live action versions of their cartoons, to me it’s just milking the IPs, reboots and remakes, I hate all that stuff. i’d be happy if, as it seems, the movie tanks. But if it thanks because SnOw WhItE LiVeS MaTtEr then fork right off. The world’s on fire, put down the gasoline can.

Just a relaxing day today. Don’t ask, don’t do. Headspace not feeling so greatspace, but what can you do space. Insert clip of Tim Curry saying SPACE.
I wathed Heretic. Another one I watched because the movie podcast I like was going to cover it. I loved the movie. Hugh Grant was brilliant. I don’t actually watch a lot of horror, not in movie form. But yeah I really enjoyed it. And worth watching for Hugh Grant. Worth it just for him making a completely wrong Jar Jar Binks impression.
I also watched Cleaner. Mostly because of Daisy Ridley. Star Wars princeses etc etc. It’s kind of a Die Hard lite, but I wasn’t bored. Had some fun ideas, and also some dumb clichéed ones. Fun enough.
Alright that’s enough text to pass for an entry.

Aw. Rest in peace Kjeld Nørgaard. He was the voice of the puppet frog Kaj (which is also my dad’s name). The children’s TV with him and the parrot Andrea was everything for kids of my age. If you grew up in the I guess 70s and 80s? Then you knew Kaj & Andrea. And you probably loved them. Back when there was one TV channel and børneTV was mandatory. It’s like Sesame Street levels, As big as you can possibly get for generations of children in Denmark. Thanks for the memories. You may not be as famous as Kermit, but you were our green saviour.

Bella has been doing this lately. She’ll get up halfway on the ramp and then sit down and then slide to the ground. And she’ll do that once or twice before deciding to get all the way up on the platform itself before sitting down. It just makes me laugh.

Good goat times today. A bit cloudy, but the sun fought its way through at times. And the temperatures are slowly rising, which is nice.
Jeanette was out sick today, so I was in charge today. She had sent me a message yesterday telling me she wouldn’t be there. I do the same if I’m not there on days when I’m usually there. I like that we care about each other and that I’m an important part of taking care of the goats, even if I am technically just a visitor, or volunteer.
The usual visitors from the neighbour school came today. Jeanette is usually great with the visiting kids. I am not so good at that, but the kids got to see the goats and spend some time with them. Beren got to pet Luna, she always loves seeing the goats.
There was a boy who came into the pen with a picture book. I think it was the story of the billy goats gruff. He wasn’t really verbal, and I couldn’t really see the book. But the adult who was with him was talking about the story.
Lovely spring day with the goats. And then home and doing an hour and change on the bike. Very tired legs, but it’s progressing nicely. Very close to the target now, almost time to start thinking about the next target.
But for now it’s time to think about targetting some soup.

I predict he’ll go about 20 steps then he’ll be wheezing and have to sit down. You can’t ride a golf kart to Greenland.
Just know that you’re supporting Trump, at this point you’re basically supporting warfare against my country. Not to mention, you know, all the other stuff.
“But if we don’t have Greenland, we can’t have great international security.”
I don’t know what’s worse, that he wants to use military force against my country or that he sounds like a fkn fifth grader, what a fkn embarrassment. Imagine World War III started by Two Scoops Donnie. Christ. Bonespurs four season landscaping miracously just below obesity weight bankrupcy riding reality tv cnt,
I just want to grow my hair out so I can tear it off.
Thank you to the Americans that don’t support warfare against my country, it’s like at least 50 percent hooray!
I wonder what they’re saying in the Greenland group chat.

I did some work on the platform in the goat house today.
The last couple of times I’ve been there, I have founds the platform knocked down in the morning. I know they like to scratch their backs on it, and I guess they just push it over. One of the pavement tiles holding it down disappeared, maybe Jeanette took it to use it somewhere.
Anyway, there’s not much fun in having a platform if it’s constantly knocked over and unusable. So I did a little redesign. Got the platform up a little higher and made it less slanty. And got a tile on each end to weigh it down. Unfortunately that meant I had to take a couple of tiles from the ground, so that part is shorter now. But I’ll see how this work, if the platform stays up.
And I may ask Jeanette if she could go pick up some more tiles, if I offer to pay for them. So I can build a little more. We’ll see.
All that work wasn’t good for my back, lots of bending down and hauling heavy tiles back and forth as I was experimenting with the best configuration. But hey you gotta do what you gotta do, right Luna?

Got a Pepsi & Protein delivery today.
And I added cucumbers, to see if they are good enough to eat now. And I just had one with my meal and I think it’s pretty decent. Maybe not summer good, but good enough to eat. Danishly produced.

Got an hour forty five on the bike today. Flap flap flap. The progress is very good. I am pretty much back to my best weight. I need a pound or so to get to the technical lowest weight I got to last year, but for all intents and purposes I am back to the best shape of my life. And this time with much more muscle. So that’s good. I’ll probably go for another ouple of weeks to see if I can lose some more weight, but almost time to scale down the intensity. Haven’t had pizza in almost a month, I would like some pizza soon please. For all in tents and tortoises.
After the exercise I did some more apartment work. Put up some blocking on another part of window. I was planning to block off the whole window today, but I reconsidered. I don’t want to block out the sun completely I think. I have blocked out parts that shine in on my eyes when I sit at the computer. I think I will leave the rest free, even though it still affets my eyesight negatively. I just also want to feel the sun, somewhat. I’ll see how I feel about the current configuration after a while.
Now it’s time to soupify.

April 1st is going to be awesome this year, can’t wait for that brief moment of thinking whatever horrible news is being thrust at me is actually just an april fools joke. That brief moment before realising that no this is also true, this incredibly stupid or infuriating thing that seems impossible is actually true hahaha I laughed so hard i almost died.
And tonight is daylight saving time in Denmark. So at least I’ll lose an hour. Normally I’m mad about that, but right now I wouldn’t mind if I lost a decade or two.

My Bowie journey has reached the Labyrinth soundtrack. I have such love for that movie. As previously mentioned, that was probably my first time really enganging with David Bowie, previously he was just someone whose big hits i heard on the radio. I don’t know if ‘real’ Bowie fans think Labyrinth is embarrassing, but it was magic to me as a kid and I love the music too. Appeals to me a lot more than Let’s Dance and Tonight, the two previous albums.
I have always thought As The World Falls Down was a beautiful song.
I’m not holding much hope for the Labyrinth sequel that they are apparently making. Because we can’t have nice things. But hey who knows, maybe it’ll be good.

To be fair, there’s really no reason to have a comedian at the WH Correspondent’s dinner when the whole administration is a joke.
