Sunskies

March 8th, 2026

ood goat times today. Good to get back to the goat world. So much easier to understand and deal with than the human one.
Spring is here. Not much sun today, but the temperatures are up and sniffing at 10C/50F which is quite nice. And there was a lot less water on the ground today. Stll muddy, though.
Jeanette had brought a big christmas tree and a bunch of branches from home. So the goats had a lot to munch on. I may also have brought a snack or two for them. They don’t go hungry.
We hd a sweet visitor too. A little girl called Eleanor. I heard the adult with her translating our goat sign for her. “Keep the gate closed, no matter what the goat says”. Kids usually enjoy that.
Came back home to noisy upstairs neighbour. Sounds like renovations. Humans are such a bother.
But now it’s time for soup, so I got that going for me.

The girls enjoying the new christmas tree. Luna hamming it up for the camera, Bella facefirst into the pine, and Sky bringing up the rear. And the below part of the picture is Bella and Luna with some of the branches Jeanette also brought. Lots fo much on.

Breakfast this morning. Actually quite a rare sight. Sky in the middle between Luna and Bella.
When I put out breakfast for them, Bella and Luna oviously always take the two first bowls, and Sky has to take the last. For some reason this morning Luna abandoned her bowl and went and pushed Sky away from hers. So Sky went “Alright, i’ll go take YOUR bowl then”. And so Sky ended up with the middle bowl. But hey, they all got their share so no worries. And I was glad Sky felt comfortable enough standing between the two others.

Got an hour fortyfive on the bike today. Good session. Back on track.
Also got my protein & pepsi delivery today. Mostly a ton of bananas, clemetines, apples and cucumbers. All out of biscuits, toast and cheese. Sigh. But I’m going to try to remp it up again. The Facebook selfie problem kind of derailed me. But I’m motived to do well again now. Going to try to have a healthy March leading up to my doctor’s visit. That’s the ambition. Eyes pointed at the daw and pedals to metals. Or something.

Got an hour forty on the bike today. Two days in a row, getting into the groove. So that’s good.
I wasn’t feeling great in the morning. Didn’t sleep well. Woke up feeling cold and with lots of construction noise outside.
My paranoid mind started thinking, are my windows broken? Are they letting in more noise and cold? Have I left a window open by accident?
I don’t know, maybe construction is getting closer to my place. And i have turned down the heat a little, since the weather is gettig warmer.
But I was feeling pretty off. Was waiting on a package that hasn’t come yet either. You know the thing when you keep checking the tracking page? It’s supposed to get delivered today, but it hasn’t even reached the stage of “out for delivery” which it usually goes to around 7 am. It’s 3 pm now.
Anyhoo. Glad I got the exercise done. The legs get very tired when going two days in a row. But it feels good. Getting into the zone with the music in my ears, the space heater pointed at me, the sweat running. It feels good, and it’s motivating when you see the weight trending downwards again.
And not eating a whole pack of biscuits with a bunch of cheese is a lot easier when you don’t have any biscuits or cheese.
If I have it then I can’t help myself from eating it. So my top dieting tip is: Don’t have the unhealthy stuff in your house. It’s better to regret not buying unhealthy stuff than it is to regret eating a ton of unehalthy stuff.

Wow, that Just-eat service is closing in Denmark.
That’s crazy. I know I have stopped ordering junk food, but I didn’t think it would have such a disastrous effect on their economy!
Just kidding, of course. but I do think I have only ordered pizza once or twice since I moved into this place. It has just gotten more and more expensive with more and more bogus addon fees. And of course I have been trying to get more healthy.
Still, it is a little sad to see Just-Eat close. It has been the primary, almost exclusive, place I ordered food for decades.
sounds like it will be a while before their shutdown is completely in effect, maybe I’ll have one last pizza before they’re gone. Not right now though, need to keep up the healthier momentum.

Good goat times today. A gorgous day. Sunshine and blue skies. It almost felt like spring. Well, looked like spring. Still a bit cold. Almost frosty in the morning, and I don’t think we got up to 10C/50F. But it feels so good to have the sunshine. And I missed those blue skies. The goats immedaitely got lazy and just sat around. Bella and Luna took a platform each, Sky sitting in the grass between the platforms. I got yawns from all three of them. Spent time sitting with them all. That’s the stuff. It’s going to be ever better when it gets warmer.
Lots of sweet visitors too. Kids in the pen petting the goats. One of the girls started peeing in front of them, that always get some laughs. And a little boy asked “can I.. touch the pee?”. Hid adult did not think that would be a good idea. Ah well! Haha.
Just a lovely time.
And now it’s time for soup, which is also good.

They fired the goat and dog killer?
But not for murdering goats and dogs of course. Because everyone was cool with her murdering goats and dogs.That’s something that will stay with me. Good old-fashioned animal lovers just being totally fine with the gal who murdered goats and dogs. Just like they’re fine with gutting the environment, because there’s nothing that matters less to animals than the environment. They’re not going to need a healthy Earth if they’re just going to live in our slaughterhouses, right?
Anyway, it’s great how I don’t talk politics anymore.

Think goat thoughts.
Three goats relaxing in the sunshine. I was sitting next to Luna on the ramp here, in front of us is Sky on the grass, and Bella sitting on the far platform. Lazy goats in the sun.

I hurt my back today. Not swashbuckling pirates or lifting heavy barrels of plutonium into the hadron collider or wrestling an alligator. Just laying bed.
I sometimes do some stretches and crunches and that kind of thing when I wake up. Partly, funnily enough, to strengthen my back.
So I was laying down on my back and lifting my pelvis up, which is supposed to be good for your back. And then coming down I hear a crack and feel a sharp pain. Great. Like one of the joints in the spine snapped or something.
Well, it’s later now and I’m feeling better. Not sure if that’s because of the painkillers I took or if it was just no biggie. Let’s hope it’s no biggie. My back has been generally doing a little better again after a worse period. Lost a little weight again and did some new massages with my psoas massager. Hope I didn’t bust it now.
Oh I also put some stress on it yesterday, carrying something to the goats. I guess I should find a picture of that and tell you.
Anyway. Taking it easy today and listening to new Morrissey album. He may be a big knut, but I do often still like his music.

Here’s what I carried yesterday. No, not the goat. The boards. I can’t remember if I mentioned it back then, but when I did the move and got rid of my huge book shelf, well I kept the shelves. Figured I could take them to the playground and use them for the goats. They like climbing stuff, even if it’s just a wooden board on the ground. So I’m going to bring them to the playground. Took the first 3 yesterday. They are heavier than you might think, and as mentioned I have a bad back. Even just carrying those 3 all the way up there was a bit of a strain. Got 6 more at home, so I’ll take two more carrying trips. And then I’ll decide where to put them. I was thinking maybe using some to cover some muddy spots if possible, maybe a few underneath one of the platforms in the big pen to have a nice shady spot to sit on them. Maybe I can build something with them. We’ll see. It’s nice to have projects and I enjoy making stuff for the goats! Hopefully I won’t bust my back too much doing the carrying.

Got an hour forty on the bike today. Phew. Did not feel strong. And my back still hurting. The right side. Also felt like it went down into my leg a little. Not pain, but my right leg had little.. fallouts. Like half a second where it felt like it lost a little strength. Hard to explain. Wasn’t too bad, didn’t keep me from going at the bike. But generally just felt like a struggle today.
But I struggled through it, and that feels good. Weight is down to the lowest it has been since I started working at again. I’m at a pretty good place now, but I’ll try to keep at it for a while before I relax things.
I’m going to relax things with some soup now, though. Seems like a good day for soup. All signs point to soup.

Oh Luna. That puppydog sitting position is always so cute. Don’t know why she does it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the other two do it. But she seems to like it.

Do you ever wonder about the pain of other people? I don’t mean physical pain, like a bad back. But the things they hide away.
We all have it. Some more, some less. But there is no growing up without pain. Leaving childhood behind is a certain kind of trauma. For some the trauma starts even before that.
Anyway, there was no point to this. I wish you strength to bear your pain. Hopefully there is more good than bad.

Lazy Sunday. My back is a little better. Although I’m still moving around like I’m a senior citizen. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Other than that, just listening to music, watching videos, trying to get stuf organized. Gonna have me a bunch of bananas, clementines, cucumber, apple. I’m eating like a goat, let’s hope I don’t start dropping berries all over the place.
Hope you’re all doing swell. I would saw off an arm for a piece of chocolate. I mean, not my own arm, that would be crazy. But someone else’s? That seems reasonable.
Sorry sorry. Don’t fall for the old banana in the tailpipe bit.

March

March 1st, 2026

Good goat times today. Good to be back out with the goaties, after last week’ chaotic darkness. Back into the light.
The temperatures are rising. Just above freezing now. Some of the snow receeding, although there is still quite a bit. And now there’s a lot of water too. And ice. Lots of ice. Very slippery in places. I had a couple of near-falls, but managed to stay on my feet.
Honestly I prefer a complete snow cover to the water, ice and snow like this. But it is nice that it’s not absolutely freezing cold.
Tough day for Bella and Luna. They got their hooves did. They hate having their hooves trimmed. But it had to be done. Usually we are three persons doing it, but it was just Jeanette and I today. We got it done, but it took some work. And it was just a ‘light emergency’ treatment. It has been so long and it has gotten so bad that we had to do something about it. We’ll be doing a more thorough job in a month or so, when there’s more staff around to help.
We closed the door to the goat house so Bella and Luna couldn’t get out. When Sky had finished her breakfast outside, she was peeking in through the gap at the door. Bleating at us. Oh you don’t want to come in for this, girl. She had her turn not that long ago.
We did Bella first. The door inside the goat house seperating the straw pen and the entrance room broke a while ago and has been completely removed. So we couldn’t seperate Bella and Luna while we did. So I was holing on to Bella to keep her still while Jeanette did the trimming. And Luna stood and stared at me like she couldn’t figure out what was happening. Well, she found out soon enough when it was her turn. She struggled more than Bella, which was a little surprising since Bella is the more headstrog and dominant one, and doesn’t really like being held and handled as much as Luna. But she was pretty still for it, while Luna was more trying to break free.
Anyway, I was happy I could help with it. It’s nice to be able to do some good and help with stuff like that, not just sit around and have fun. I like to be a help if I can.
Lots of snacks and treats afterwards, so I think we were forgiven.
And now it’s soup o’clock around here.

I haven’t been feeling great today.
Today was supposed to be an exercise day. But I decided against it.
Woke up feeling kind of crummy with a big headache.
I think my throat would be hurting if I wasn’t using my mouth spray.
Headache still really bad.
Doesn’t help that a neighbour has been drilling.
Generally I feel like i’m hearing more and more noise from the neighbours.
Also feel like I’m smelling cigarette smoke soetimes, but I’m not sure how much is just my paranoid delusions.
The construction still goes on all day outside.
Not feeling super awful, but just kind of crummy. And that headache isn’t good.
So instead of exercise I have been working at the computer. Working on browser stuff. Got some good stuff done, happy with that. I have a ton of reorganising and cleaning up mess to do. And trying to get things as accessible as possible. I’ll be barfing hex colour codes soon.
I’ll try to get back on the bike tomorrow. And just plug along.
Hope you’re all doing alright. If you’re able to use your computer or phone without spending hours trying to make things useable for you, take a second to appreciate that. It must be nice to just be able to turn things on and not have to modify anything..

Feeling better today, physically at least. So that’s good.
And Facebook is still operating with problems, so that’s nice.
The world in general? Eh, let’s not talk about that.
Give me some soup and some happy goats, and I’ll get by for a while.
The sun is always shining, sometimes you just can’t see it for the clouds.

Good goat times today. Back to happy funtime goat circus.
The weather is finally warming up. Comfortably above freezing. A lot of the snow is gone, although there are still some decent patches in the goat pen.
Unfortunately melting snow and rain has ushered us into the mud seasons. The goats would rather have a clean snow covering than all that mud. I tend to agree, but I don’t miss the freezing cold. Hopefully warm spring will come soon.
Lots of visitors today, the neighbour schoolers. Kids in the pen, petting the goats and asking questions. All very sweet. Jeanette lighting up the campfire, I think they were brewing hot cocoa.
With all the mud, the goats stay mostly near the house. I brought up the treetop that Jeanette rought recently, up to the house so they could nibble on it and duel the branches with their horns. Always fun.
Ima brew me some soup up now. Gaots and soup, that counts as a good day for me.
26/2 2026

Bella and Luna working on the treetop. It has pretty much been stripped naked already, but they still like to nibble on it. It’s something to do! And with their attention on the treetop, Sky gets to have her box of hay in peace. I wish there was a way to tell Bella and Luna that they have a huge hayrack inside full of hay, there’s no reason for them to chase Sky away from her little box. But goats always want what the other goat is having. The grass is always greener on the neighbour’s lawn.

“Notalgia washed over me”
Same, JD. Same.
Aw, Scrubs. I watched the episode of the revival. I loved it. A lot. I am not sure if it was good, or if it was just the nostalgia. Nostalgia is a powerful spice to me. Everything new sucks. The past is comforting. Well, the good parts.
Anyway. The original Scrubs was a special show to me, I watched it over and over, bought the seasons as soon as they came out on DVDs, which was a format that existed back then. I love all those character. I’m so glad Hooch is still crazy!
I am really sad that a particular character is only going to be recurring. He makes such a big difference, I want him to be in every episode.
I also very much miss Sam Lloyd. I hope they reference him at some point, I’m sure they must.
I also not that with my limited vision widescreen is a lot worse than 4:3. 4:3 is another reason that the past is better.
I am so glad they kept the Superman theme. I think it wasn’t in the trailer, because I remember thinking where’s the Superma bit?!
But I’m looking forward to watching more. Episode one gave me a huge nostalgia kick and a lot of feels.

I dreamt that I was on Facebook and I got that video selfie block again.
A nightmare!
I’m so glad fb is still working. It just means a lot to me to have this social flux capacitor. Being able to talk and listen, virtually speaking. Posting sweet media on the goat page and seeing people loving the goat girls.
Social media can be a horrible thing. Many people use it for evil.
But for me it’s a source of good. And I appreciate having it. I appreciate you all! Well, most of you *side-eye*

Been a while since I did a “what’s Lasse watching/reading/listening to”.
I had actually just started writing one when the big fb problems started, and it was left half done in a text file and is now out of date.
Anyway. This is just going to be me rambling about stuff, nothing of importance. Or as we call it in this establshment “The Usual”.
Things I have watched.
Three documentaries about artists. David Bowie, Mel Brooks, John Candy.
They were all pretty great. Quiet moving as you would expect. Three great ones.
The most recent I watched was the John Candy one. Back in the day I taped Planes, Trains And Automobiles from the telly, and that tape got a lot of use. It was a movie that touched me deeply. And Candy’s character, of course. Fat guy trying to mask a deep internal pain. Let’s just say I could relate.
But when I think of John Candy I most often think of Home Alone. His Polka character really made me laugh. Over the years I just randomly find mylsef going “polka polka.. polka” in my head in Candy’s rhythm. I love that bit.
Mel Brooks. Obviously a genius. Fascinating story. I don’t have as deep an emotional connection to him, I love a lot of his stuff.
And Bowie. Here’s what I got written in the before the fb shutdown:

I’m fascinated by Bowie. I know, I’m probably the only one. Haha. But I can’t help thinking about what he was like as a kid. Or anyone like him. David Lynch. These geniuses that create art that changes the world. If you were to go back and look at them as 10 year olds. In a group of kids. Would they stand out? Could you tell who would be the genius? Are we all geniuses? Are some people just born different and destined for greatness? Or is there something in all of us that could grow to such greatness under the right circumstances? And kind of the same question about evil people. The people who end up doing the most horrible things imaginable. Were they born like that? Or is there something like that in all of us that could come out under the wrong circumstances? Nature or nurture and all that. I find it fascinating.
But what do I know.
Watching the Bowie doc inspired me to get back to my Bowie musical journey. All the moving and depression and stuff kind of paused it. Last I left off was Black Tie White Noise. I actually quite like that one. From what I can tell it isn’t one of his best received albums. But I like it. There’s a sharp harshness to it that appeals to me. Jump They Say has stayed with me since I heard it the first time back in the day. Sometimes I feel like I’m standing on a ledge and there’s a crowd telling me to jump. Not that that’s a good feeling. But I love darkness and sadness, in art.
And now I have moved on to the next album. 1. Outside.
I have been looking forward to getting ot that one, because when that was released that was around the time I started becoming more aware of Bowie. When the youth programme Puls started and I finally started having a way to watch music videos. That was before I had MTV. And I clearly remember the video for The Hearts Filthy Lesson making a big impression on me. For decades there have been lines and riffs from that song running in my head. A dirty brutal song that I love.

So I won’t go on more about that. It’s nice to be listening to Bowie again.
Also listening to a couple of other things things I just got. The new Gorillaz release, The Mountain. I love Gorillaz. I love everything Damon Albarn does. And as a whitebred white bread Danish paleface, Gorillaz is just the right safe way to get me to listen to varius hip/hop and World Music artists that he collaberates with. Great stuff. I was going to write about my feelings on rap and hip-hop, but this is already getting way too long so I’ll do the opposite of And we don’t stop.
Also got Amiga Rocks Harder by Fastloaders. I backed that on Kickstarter. I also backed their previous two releases, C64 Rocks and Amiga Rocks. Properly composed rock versions of classic Commodore 64 and Amiga music. It forking rocks, yeah. Happy to back these projects and help them happen.
On the reading list, i finished Joe Hill’s King Sorrow. Liked it a lot. Parts of it I loved. As with a lot of his daddy King’s books, it started stronger than it ended. I feel like it could have been edited down a little. But still a good trip. If you like Stephen King and Joe Hill, then I don’t think it will let you down.
Then I moved on to Master Of Evil. It’s a Darth Vader book. I’m still a Star Wars kid. It was pretty good. Had some cool Vader vision scenes.
Then I moved on to another Star Wars book, a little middle grade book anthology of stories about Jedi and Sith. Nothing remarkable, but I’m liking it. I like Star Wars anthology books, little stories peeking around in the galaxy.
When I’m done with that I’m going to start the latest Dennis Jurgensen, because I must read all he writes.
And after that I’m planning to read The Shining. I am 99.9% sure I have read it before. But it must have been in Danish decades ago. And seeing as though i’m going through the old Stephen King chronology and reading stuff I have missed, I feel like rereading that in English.
What else? I have watched the two first episodes of the new Scrubs. I am still loving it. Still not sure if it’s really good or if it’s just my nostalgia addiction. But I feel like they have captured the spirit of the old series. I am happy to be watching these characters again.
Need to get back to Andor season 2, I kind of got halted midway through. Clearly that show was … prescient about our current world.
I think that’s all.
I have had an unhealthy weekend. I was supposed to exercise. Instead I ate a huge batch of cheese fries, and today cheese toast.
But on the upside, I no longer have that bag of fries in the freezer. I no longer have cheese in the fridge. I no longer have toast. And I scheduled a grocery delivery today and didn’t put any of the bad stuff in it. So I will be forced to eat healthier, at least for a while. I got a doctor’s appointment later in the month, I’ll try to make an effort to do better leading up to that. Haven’t measured my blood pressure in a while, but it was pretty bad last I checked and didn’t seem to be getting better even after getting back to exercising. So we’ll have to see how that all goes. At least the weather has warmed up.
Alright I’ll shut up now. You can take the cheese out of your ears again now.
