Sudden Heat
It’s thundering super loudly outside. Either that or the tapdancing elephants put on a ton of weight since their last lesson.

Good goat time today. Good golly miss holy moly. It got hot in herre. And out therre. And everywherre. Suddenly temperatures went way up. Upwards of 24C/75F- That is like high summer temps for Denmark. Out of nowhere. And only for a couple of days, then we’ll get back to more normal springtime weather. But it was nice to get a taste of summer! A good deal of cloud coverage too, so it wasn’t baking sunshine. It was a bit humid though. As I mentioned we had some heavy thunderstorms last night. Lots of water on the ground. Thankfully it stayed dry. Great weather to just sit around with the goats and do nothing.
Unfortunately I wasn’t smart enough to realise that. So I did more rock work. Remember a while ago I moved that big boulder over to secure the wobbly platform? Well, I wanted a rock on the other side to make it absolutely rock solid (hold for applause and laughter) . I managed to get another rock out of the ground, maybe because the ground was so wet. It was another one that was so heavy that it was impossible to lift, and really hard just to get it rolled over to where I wanted it. And then I spent something like 20 minutes in the heat wrestling that thing trying to get it positioned right. Unfortunately it wasn’t quite tall enough. I didn’t manage to get it how I wanted it. But I had to quit eventually. So tired in the heat and I managed to crush a finger to the point of bleeding too. Oh well. I’ll work on it again another day, preferably a cooler one.
And other than that it was just mostly sitting around with the goats, with some fence visitors to entertain too. Pretty pretty good!
I’m going to be wrecked tomorrow tho.

To be fair, I DID have a helper when I was wrestling The Rock. Sky did a great job supervising. I don’t know if you can really get a sense of how heavy that thing is just from the picture. Even if there were two of me we would not have been able to lift it off the ground.
Oh and, the water line is back! I’m not sure if I’ve even mentioned it, but with all the construction work that’s been going on, they shut off the outside water faucet. I tried it today because my arms got super mudded up from rolling that rock around. And it worked. Huzzah. I was able to clean the mud off. AND bring a bucket of fresh water for the goats on this super hot day. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go order some replacement arms at the Men-At-Arms store.

Look who stopped by today too! This is Nala, I have now confirmed. Little, sweet girl. She’s so cuddly. Jumped up on my lap and rubbed her head against my hand is just adorable.
I tried giving her some pear, since I had some with me today. She did not want any. She didn’t even seem to aknowledge it. I don’t know if she just doesn’t like it or if she’s not encountered the concept of humans giving treats before. The goats could teach her something.

Must admit I’m a little smitten with little Nala. She’s so sweet and cuddly. Let’s hope the goats won’t be jealous. Jealous? goats? Surely not!

Did you get the number of that donkey cart?
Feeling pretty wrecked, as expected. But I’ll freebase tomatoes and through it.

I thought it might be fun to film a little of me wrestling The Rock. Well, you can’t be right every time! Here’s a bit of fastmotion video, just a fraction of my attempt to get heatstroke.

rest in peace Johannes Møllehave. I loved him, growing up I always thought he was special and great to listen to it. He was a priest, among other things. I think if all religious people were like him, well the world would be in a much much better state. To me he’s like one of thos transcendental people, like Bob Ross or Attenborough or whatever, someone that you can’t help respecting and admiring and loving. Næstekærlighed. Fantastic grasp of language and words and kindness and love and enthusiasm.
I don’t know if kids today even know him, he’s been out of the spotlight with poor health for a long time I think. But I always admired him.

Good goat times today. Cool and grey. Temperatures about halfed since Monday. That’s Danish weather for you. But the company is always good in the goat pen. No Rock wrestling today. Just relaxing, cuddling, handing out snacks, entertaining visitors at the fence a few times. Not too bad. Did a bit of brushing again, which sent Milo running for the hills. Maybe I should tell all the ladies in skirts and neighbourhood kids to carry a brush around. The only defense against the dastardly Milo bandit.
Now it’s tomato time for the wrecked goat herder.

Look who I met in the morning! Sorry bout the bad quality. I had to stitch two screenshots together because I didn’t get them properly together in the frame. But I got to see both the barn kitties. Unless I’m mixed up, that’s Nala on the left. And Heino on the right.
When I got there in the morning I just saw Nala heading into the hatch. I meowed after her and she came out and got some cuddles. She’s a real sweetie. Heino arrived but did come over to say hi, he just followed Nala who headed back into the hatch. I don’t know if Heino isn’t so keen on cuddles or if they just had important kitty business inside. But it was nice to see them both together!

We all know that Milo the Bandit, outlaw of wild wild pen, is a menace to ladies in skirts and children everywhere. But did you know that he is also director of photography’s nightmare? It never fails, if he is around when I put my camera on a tripod (or other surface standing in for a tripid) he always has to go over and start messing with the camera. I can’t count the times i’ve had to go over and stop the filming because Milo knocked the camera. If I’m lucky he just pushes it so it points in the wrong direction. But you’ve all seen the camera fall fails when he just pushes it over. And of course then there are the time where he just ends up standing right in front of it and blocking the shot. We don’t want a video of your butt, Milo!
Well. Some of us don’t…
I love that kid, he’s so goofy. Maybe if I glued a brush to the camera he’d leave it alone..

I am really sick and tired of facebook. What is the point anymore when it just gets worse and worse. I’m not getting all comments/notifications on Mia’s page anymore either. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If it wasn’t for all the good people I’m connected to here I’d quit this garbage dump. Grrurgh.

Well the pictures I couldn’ts ee on my timeline are back, so I guess it was a bug and not a feature? I don’t know. Let’s see if they disappear when I upload a new photo, which is what happened last time.
Here’s Lasse and the Sky, no diamonds.
Oh and thank you everuyone the supportive comments. You all are the reason I can’t leave. JUST WHEN I THINK I’M OUT YOU PULL ME BACK IN AGAIN

Nuller on his rock. I actually tried moving that one too, when I did the rock wrestling. But even with the soggy ground and a stick for leverage and all my might, I could not get that one out of the ground.
Maybe it would have helped if Nuller had gotten off it first!
.. just kidding.

Well that was new. A phonecall from Jehovah’s Witnesses. Maybe they aren’t allowed to go door to door now. Slamming the phone down isn’t as satisfying as shutting the door, but I’ll take it.

I’m not saying it’s great animation, but i really like the old 80s-90s cartoons better than modern 3D animatin. Even if it’s just a glorified to commercial. I guess it’s the nostalgia.
Also, I like how every scene change is marked by a HE-MAN shout. Imagine if in a James Bond movie every time the scene changed somen narrator cried out JAMES BOND.
I might watch James Bond movies if they did that.
