Good goat times today. Quite lovely, almost like summer. There was a little weird vibe when I first got there, though. The goats were bleating at me, but it took some time for them to come over. And then when Mia made it over she didn’t want any treats. Neither paste nor raisins. That’s very unusual. And then I foudn there was a big, heavy rock lying in front of the gate. Which is weird because there’s a lock on the gate. I hope no one has been trying to mess with the goats. I don’t know. I managed to move the rock and get in and once I loaded up the fresh greens in the big hayholder Mia got eating and after she’d had greens she was suddenly happy to get treats again. I’d been gone for a week because of everything that’s been going on (more news on that later) so maybe she just had to.. get readjusted to me. Haha. There was also a guy walking past the goat pen with a dog almost right in front of me when I got there, the dog may have freaked them out some. Who knows. But things were quickly back to normal and it was just so good to sit in the sun with my lovebugs.
We had nice visitors too. There was a couple with a young boy and they were from California! Unfortunately I did not get to talk to them, even though I really wanted to. Damn this social phobia. Sigh. If only I felt as much at ease with humans as with goats… but I did hear them talking to one of the playground workers. They were from Pasadena. I think they said they lived here, but I’m not sure if they have actually moved to Denmark or if they meant they were living here for the vacation or something like that. They seemed very vacationy. They were talking to the playground worker about attraxctions and places they could go see. Only stuff within a 30 kilometer range though, because they went everywhere on bikes. I was finally starting to work up the courage to talk to them when they decided to leave. Their kid ddn’t want to go, he was having so much fun getting leaves for the goats. But apparently there was another playground that they wanted to visit. The mom said they’d have to come back for their bikes later so he could see the goats again then. They didn’t come back before I left though. I wanted to tell them that I have friends in California and that there are people all over the world following the goats on Facebook. They seemed to really like the goats so I thought they’d get a kick out of that and maybe want to check in there too. But oh well. Maybe they’ll come back to see the goats another time and I’ll get the chance to talk to them. They seemed really nice.

Lily! What.. . what the .. what are you doing?!
Haha. She started scratching the ground like they do when they sit down. Then she starated grinding her head against something on the ground, a root I think. And then.. she flopped over on her back and started wailing her legs around. That’s it Lily, you’ve had enough goatnip.

At least now we know what it’s like to live in a Sharknado movie.
Except, instead of sharks and tornados it’s… Trump and pandemic.

Here’s some more Lily rolling. Definitely gotta change the locks on the liqour cabinet.
Also, maybe rethink whether having a liquor cabinet in the goat pen is a good idea in the first place.

And on the homefront… more good news. Mom is expecting to be allowed to go home tomorrow. Looks like they got her kidneys going and everything is looking good. So that’s a huge relief. Let’s hope that’s a happy ending on that front. And then we need dad to get back in painfree state. And then cure the pandemic and we’re good. Thank you everyone keeping me sane, relatively. The Gorg-Henriksens appreciate it.
– love, Junior Gorg-Henriksen

Rest in peace Bent Fabricius-Bjerre, A wonderful musician and composer. One of the greats here. If you’re Danish and over the age of.. I don’t know, 20? There’s pretty much zero chance you’d never heard at least one of his compositions for movies or tv or else. Extremely productive, proficient and popular, and by all acounts a wonderful person.

Family update. Well, my mom didn’t make it home today. Apparently she was having some kind of twitchy feeling and they want to make sure there are no problems. But the kidney stuff is fine i guess and she’s hoping to come home tomorrow.
My dad seems to be doing a little better too. He’d been talking about expecting to have to have another operation, but now he says he doesn’t think so after all. Apparently physiotherapy and massages have been helping. They think he’s overworked his hip. So hopefully time and care will take care of it.
And that’s today’s report from the Henriksens, your family forced upon you by me.

Welp. I was planning to go fix my parents’ computer and then go see the goats. But this morning I was feel a bit nauseated and dizzy. Not horribly so but… these days it’s easy to talk yourself into feeling deathly ill… I’m already feeling a bit better I think, I probably could have gone without a problem. I’m sure i’m fine. But with everything that’s been going on I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry. So i’m going to go to bed early and just dream it all away. Hopefully there’s no problem.
I’m off to look up hypochondria in the dictionary.

Good goat times today. Had a long, beautiful dreamwalk yesterday and felt well enough today to head out. I’m not sure I’m feeling 100%, but close enough. First stopped off at my parents and looked at their computer. Was able to fix some of the problems, but there’s still some stuff I need to look into. But at least they can use their computer well enough now. Then off to to the goats. Grey and windy, but at least only a handful of raindrops. Peak Danish summer. But at least the company is great. Those fuzzy furballs. They sure kept me busy today.. but I’ll write about with picture aid later. Hope you’re all doing alright out there.

Hey what’s this?! Yes, the goats are back in the goat pen again. Makes sense, the summer holiday is almost over and the horses will likely be back soon.
I must say, I’m almost a little sad about it. I enjoyed hanging out in the horse field. The goats had all that space (even if they rarely actually used that much of it). I loved seeing them come running in the morning. Running back with them to give them breakfast greens. Visitors coming along the fences. And in general I just don’t like change haha. I remember the good old days when the goats could freely pass between theh orse field and goat pen. Those were the days.. mental images of blisteringly hot summers with Mia, grandma and Yogi… Sigh.
Of course it’s the company that matters. We’ll have fun in the goat pen too. It feels pretty cramped now, not just because we’re used to the big field. Also because it’s overgrown with weeds and long grass, and some of the stuff in the pen has been moved by the construction work. I’ll have to do a little bit of cleaning up I think, although some of the things I won’t be able to move. Big rocks and stuff. Well we’ll see. Home is where the heart and goats is.

Slightly concerned about the rise of corona infections in Denmark. I don’t think it’s alarming yet, and there are still very few deaths. But the numbers are rising. The summer holiday is almost over, I think in a week or two. I don’t even know what the plans are for the schools here, if they’re going to open as normal or what kind of precautions they’re taking. We’ve been doing very well here, I hope people aren’t thinking it’s all done iwith. For all the stuff I say about wearing your dang masks, Americans, I have to admit.. I don’t want to wear a mask. I will of course, if they tell us we have to. But I understand not wanting to wear a mask. I hope we won’t have to.
Ugh. I was thinking about this all earlier today, and then I go to twitter and I see that Herman Cain fucking died of the corona virus. He attended a Trump rally without wearing a mask, now I don’t know if that’s where he got the virus. But that’s fucking nuts.
Also, I just got a package from China… no, not one of the mysterious seed packages that people are apparently getting from China. It’s something I ordered on amazon. It’s been underway for like a month. The virus can’t live that long right… maybe I’ll just keep the package quarentined for a bit…
What a forking nutty time to be a life.
Rip Herman Cain. I do not have a lot of positive stuff to say about that guy, but it’s still nuts and sad. Pandemic isn’t a joke.

Hey what’s this? I though the goats were back in the goat pen? This isn’t the goat pen?
Yeah, the goats escaped. It’s been so long since we were in the goat pen that I forgot I had to secure the lock on the gate. If I just close it then they can push it open. So I got to spend 30ish minutes chasing goats. Haha. The hard part about catching a goat is that once you catch a goat, the 5 others run off. You can’t leave the gate open and as soon as you open the gate to put one goat in, the other ones do their best to run back out. Eventually all six of them ran out here to the open area and beyond. I toyed with the idea of just staying out with them like we used to do… but I haven’t gotten the go-ahead to do that. Eventually I said fork it and I picked up Milo and carried him back in the pen, figuring I’d just end up picking them up one by one and carrying them all back to the pen. And then renting a forklift to carry Mia I guess… but once I carried Milo back the others came running back with us. Thank goat for flock mentality.
It was fun, and some visiting kids got to pet the goats and see them up real close. But it also was a little hard on my worn physique. My back is pretty hurting now. Oh those goats will be the life and death of me.

And from the homefront, my mother is now back home from the hospital! There are still some concerns, I think she’s low on calcium and something else. But she’s good enough that they sent her home. So that’s really good. Hopefully that’s the end of that issue and now we just need dad to get back to better health and then everything’s fine, it’s not like 2020 could have anything else in store tra la la!

Alright, alright. Goat content. Here’s a photo from the great escape. Of course the goats went right for the carefully planted greenery. Grass and leaves are tasty, but it’s even tastier if it’s something planted by the humans with the intent of caring for it and letting it grow. Mmmm, destruction of property!

Hearing a baby cry. Not sure if ghost or neighbours.
Maybe my neighbours ARE ghosts dun dun duuun. Although I’m not sure ghosts are physical enough to accomplish all that stomping on the floors..

Denmark has had its coldest July in 22 years. So I haven’t just been imagining it. The forecast for the next week looks pretty good though. Maybe August will be hotter.

Rest in peace Wilford Brimley. I loved that guy. So cool, so funny, so great. I am one of the 1.5 people in the world who unironically love the Ewok movies. He was in an Ewok movie! For that alone I love him. Also all the other stuff. From Ewok movies to Craig Ferguson’s diabeetus impressions, and everything in between. Just his name. Wilford Brimley. Can’t say that without a smile on my face. Well, today is the exception perhaps. But what a legend.
Wish I’d listened to him about the diabeetus when I was younger…
