Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. But very cold. Nights below zero and days just around freezing. The pasture was all frost today. It almost looked like it had snowed. I was greeted by bleats from the dark forest as I rounded the corner. It’s the first time in maybe months that has happened. I guess the frozen mud had allowed the goaties to roam back there again.
Got some fun horse yawns today. I was sitting with Mia and Mio when one of the big horses, Sille or Luna, came over. Mia and Mio backed off a little, but didn’t run screaming for the hills like they would have if it had been Mulle. Anyway, our big horse friend must have been tired because it aawned I think 4-5 times. Big horse yawns. Cute! Though, I still prefer goat yawns.
I heard Alice today, and saw Ophelia helping kids ride one of the horses. Didn’t talk to them, though. A couple of parents came into the pen and said hi to the goats. And of course asked if Mio was pregnant.
I am in a bit of an emotional pitfall at the moment. But seeing the goats is always so good.

Tuning out. When you can’t hide in a pillow fort, hiding behind your goats works too. Thanks for having my back.

Today will be a good day.
I didn’t make it out of bed this morning. Not surprising, the way I was feeling. And the dreams were so beautiful…
The good news is that my parents have cooked up a pot of soup just for me and my dad is bringing it to me. Spoiled like a goat. It may shock you, but I’ve gotten a little tired of elderberry soup. It’ll be nice to have mama’s classic soup for a few days now. Onwards and upwards.

Boiling up veggies for the soup. Stand by for soup coma. Please do not be alarmed if your Lasse emits a buzzing noise of wellbeing. It is a harmless side effect of the intake of soup.

Ugh. Gross. I’ve been switched from the good old Facebook messages to messenger. Why would you enforce messenger on desktop? It doesn’t even work on Pale Moon, so I have to switch to Firefox. And the layout is way worse for my bad eyes. And it autoplays videos?! ffs. Yeah, if I was bad at replying to messages before it’s only going to get worse now. Don’t expect me to be having regular conversations on messenger, guys.

In more amusing musings, it amuses me when someone follows me on twitter and I go look at their profile and it says something about how they’re entrepeneurs or twitter experts or seo experts etc. And I see they have like 1,200,000 followers. But they’re following 1,500,000 people. Yeah, you’re a real master at twitter. You figured out that if you follow a million people on twitter you’re probably going to get at least half a mil following you back. That’s not very impressive. I don’t think Kim Kardashian had to follow 60 million people to get her 50 million followers. This was less amusing and interesting than I had hoped when I started writing it. Ah whatever, I’ll just post it. Nobody will notice. I’m glad this inner monologue worked out so well. I’m a real Facebook expert

Tuning out for today. Feeling better tonight than I was last night. So that’s something. Maybe there’s still hope. *Checks fridge*. Yes, a couple of pots worth I’d say. Hashtag soup.

Oh hey, look what I got! Thank you, Keiko Murakami! Ahaha. Perfect. Scratch’n’sniff pizza stickers. Now I can smell pizza every day, without having a stroke. And pizza sticks! Like a dream come true. I wonder if I can dip those sticks in my soup…
Thanks a million!

Hypothetical question: is 2:37am an appropriate time to warm up a bowl of soup or na?

Good goat times today. Lovely and sunny too. And even a little bit warmer. Up to around 5C/40F. Just that little bit helps a lot. Although it gets tricky to find the right combination of clothes. Sweater? Hoodie? Skull cap? How many layers of shirts and blouses? If I dont wear enough then I freeze immediately. If i wear too much then I sweat and get soaked and freeze eventually. Today was pretty good, though. Of course the warmer weather meant the mud was back. Maybe the worst yet. Poor goaties. And poor me, stumbling around in it. My feet got stuck a few times, but I managed not to fall at least.
A group of kids came by just as I got there too. They asked if I could get Mia and Mio to come over to them so they could pet them. And of course I could. Meanwhile A38 stood in her sunspot and relaxed. The kids laughed when I told them her name. It’s funny, to non Danish people A38 sounds like an impersonal designation. But to Danish people it’s a funny name.
Brought some carrots, leftover from soup making, and gave them to the horses. Something odd though. I think.. Mulle might be gone. I thought I was giving a carrot to Mulle, because she had that white stripe down her face. But then I realised.. the horse I was giving a carrot to was much darker. Didn’t have that blond hairdo. Odd odd odd. I just checked my photos and yes, I think it’s a new horse. But where is Mulle then? I wonder if they’ve exchanged horses with another place. I didn’t get a chance to talk to anyone today.
Another clue that it wasn’t Mulle was that Mia and Mio were not panicking like all heck when she got near. They’re terrified of Mulle. But Mia actually stood up to this new horse when she got hear. Almost headbutting her. And then of course still backing off, because it’s a big horse. I think a little bigger than Mulle.
Either it’s a new horse, or someone dyed Mulle’s hair. Funny thing, my face blindness extends to animals. Which is why I probably don’t remember the name of your pet. Faces and names just don’t stick together in my head.
Well, we’ll see. I hope Mulle isn’t gone for good. I really liked Mulle. Hope she’s okay too.
Now it’s time for soup.

Here she is. Is this Mulle? I’m genuinely not sure. She seems a lot darker. Maybe she rolled in the mud. But. Hmm.
Oh yeah and do note Mio’s expression in the background. She may not be terrified like when Mulle is near, but she’s clearly not thrilled about the company.

Today will be a god day. As you all know, it’s a big, important day. Yes, that’s right. It’s my brother’s birthday. Happy birthday, brother.
I can’t think of anything else of importance happening today, so maybe I’ll just stay completely away from Twitter. Yes, that sounds like a good idea…
For those of you wondering how Peter is doing, I believe he just got through the last preparatory things for a kidney transplant, so now we just have to wait for one to become available. Which could be 2-5 years, I’m told. But he seems to be doing well with the dialysis.
And we live in Denmark which has pretty great health care, apropos of nothing in particular.

In other news, RIP Miguel Ferrer. I actually remember him more from On The Air than from Twin Peaks. I loved On The Air, it was so crazy. Maybe Lynch should bring that show back too. I really liked Ferrer, in many things. He had some crazy intensity and he made me laugh with seriousness. Gone too soon.

Had a bit of stomach bug last night. But I think the best way forward is to eat more soup. Better to be safe than to be sorry that I didn’t eat more soup.

In happier news, thanks a million to the wonderful Keiko Murakami for these two amazing Palle drawings and the Strawberry card! As if the pizza stickers and sticks weren’t enough!
You are one of the best people I know, Keiko. I know you struggle with the darkness too. I’m glad if my goatfriends help a little. Your drawings, especially the ones you know of Kamel and Palle, have helped me a lot too.
As long as there are still good people in the world then… there are still good people in the world.

Here are the other 3 horses. They stood for quite a while like that, all bunched up. Almost like they were presenting a united front against the new ‘impostor’ Mulle.

Back home from dinner with the family unit. Celebrating my brother’s birthday. Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday. Uncle Jens was visiting and we went to the local Chinese place. So good food. I even had some icecream for dessert. Yum.

This place, right next to the white door, used to be off-limits for the goats and horses. I think it was a little playpen where bunnies could be taken out. But that storm that messed with the fence to the goat pen, that let the horses invade, also messed with this fence. So now the goats and horses can go in there. The ground is more firm in there because it hasn’t been downtrodden and grazed by the horses. So it’s a little escape from the mud.

What makes me most sad of all is that in the future there will be no way to play “Two truths and a lie”.
Here are two truths and a lie about me
I once climbed Mount Everest.
I have never watched a Star Wars movie.
I live in a hut built by squirrels and then I ate the squirrels.
