Good goat times today. Pleasant weather, for a change. Upwards of 7C/44F which is still cold for me, but it’s a heck of d ifference from freezing temperatures and cold wind and sleet and rain. A few drops today, but some sunshine too. Quite nice for the season. And the goats are good for any season.
I did have some mishaps. First my camera dropped in the mud. It was fine, but the lens cap fell off and I had to spend 10 minutes digging through dark mud for a black lens cap. At least I found it. Then I gave out some treats and Milo managed to pull the treatbag out of my pocket, so I had to try and save what I could before everything disappeared into hungry hungry goat mouths. Sheesh, little bandit. other than that it was a good time. Snuggles and treats and cuddles and bleats. And walking home like a mud golem.

Mia and the bandit. I wonder if she was the one who whispered in his ear… ‘psst, I’ll distract him you grab the treatbag, meet me in the shelter. Tell no one.’

Yesterday/last night I had one of my long dreamwalks. About 20ish hours in bed. It’s been a while since I walked so far so long. I love just drifting in and out of dreams. Warm under the wellness covers while the world is cold and dark. I was Han Solo in a new Star Wars movie. And I was flying. For a long time I flew around the world, defying gravity. It’s nice to have the freedom to just sometimes tear a day our of the calendar and just sleep it away. I know most people don’t have the luxury. And I know it’s not particularly healhy. But in my defense, oh look over there a three-headed monkey

Nuller and Sassy also like banana.

Has anyone seen a large sack of money? I was worshipping at one of Joel Osteen’s churches, as you know I often do, and I think I forgot my bag of unmarked bills. Let me know if it turns up.

Oh look who I ran into on my way to the goats today. It’s a snowman, that has somehow survived the warming weather and is definitely going to follow me around and kill me in my sleep.

Hmm. Can we identify a suspect based on this muddy hoofprint?

If you guessed Nuller, you are quite the Sherlock.

I had a little chat with Nuller and he humbly apologised for getting my pants all muddy and he earnestly promised that he definitely definitely defenitely will do it again as soon as I get them washed. A fair compromise, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Oh I forgot to post this one. Another chapter of “Milo tries to ruin Lasse’s videos”. At least I got about 5 minutes of video of Milo’s tail, so there’s that. Darn bandit.

Good goat times today. A sunny day! Sunnier than it’s been in a long while. Still fairly cold. But it was nice to see the sun.
And maybe it was the sun that got the goats all heated up. They were in rare form. The ladies must have been in heat. There was a whole lot of snorting and huffing. Little Lily is usually the worst and she was blubbering along like a buck almost. It cracks me up. And Sassy was humping Lily and they were sniffing Mia’s rear, it almost looked like they were trying to go to the milk bar. And Mia did her cute little whinny whine that she does when she’s definitely not happy with the attention she’ receiving. And Sky was screaming. Screaming. SCREAMING. Haha. Oh boy. It might be the loudest I’ve ever heard her. On and off all day. Screaming her lungs out. Poor girl needs a boyfriend. But there are no elligible goat bachelors around. Nuller was partaking a little in the huffing and sniffing. Milo seemed to be the only one who wasn’t affected at all. He kept a safe distance. ‘You guys do you, I’m just gonna stay over here and not get in your way’. Lots of silly fun.
It was nice to see a bit of blue sky again. Looks like the temperatures will be dropping now and we’ll get frosty again. I’m glad I got out and enjoyed it today.
And my neighbours will think I’m murdering goats in my apartment when I start editing the footaga from today…

I dreamt that I traveled back in time and met a young David Bowie. I told him about what a great legacy he would make for himself and how much he would mean to so many people. And he told me that I had visited him before through time. And he I hugged him really hard and it was really nice.

A little preview of a future video for the premium subscribers. Big bleat from little Sky. She went on and on like all day.

Let’s just quickly check in with Lily too.

Finally, let’s see what Sassy is up to.
If you thought these were amusing, well there will be lots more on Mia’s page in a few days.

Don’t ever tell me that eating vegetables is healthy. I just cut up my thumb pretty bad peeling carrots. A double cut too, because you know the peeler has a double blade thing. Ouch. Well I think I’ve stopped the bleeding. THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD ORDERED PIZZA

Managed to peel carrots today without going into a hysterical shock, so I guess Im not traumatized by my experience yesterday. My thumb still hurts, but it’s no the end of the world. I have had to cancel my plans to hitchhike around the world and visit all my facebook friends during the holidays. It’s simply not possible to hitchhike with this bloody stump of a thumb, I’ll scare the cars away! Maybe next year.
Anyway, time for vegetables yum.
Oh yeah I suppose I might as well do the health update too. I was supposed to see my doc this week to talk about the results of the xrays and lung test, but I kinda.. didn’t. I decided to go see the goats instead. All my test results have been great, I’m feeling almost normal. Maybe still a little more exhaused than normal when being very active, but I’m almost back to normal. I am pretty sure when I talk to my doc the result will be that we agree I had some kind of mild pneumonia possibly corona related maybe not and now I just gotta get back in better shape. I doubt they’ll want to do anything about the bit of lung tissue that was collapsed. I just gotta get back to normal life. I’m feeling fine enough for that. I’m pretty sure there’s nothing else left to do. I’ll try to see if I can see the doc before christmas, but the way her appointment system works is a bit weird and I don’t think I’ll be able to see her before the holidays. But like I said, I’m pretty sure it can wait till after the holidays just fine, there’s not much difference at this point.
Oh and my frostbite finger is good. The black spot is gone. There’s some hard skin where the black spot was, but other than that it’s normal.
So here we are. who’s got one thumb and will probably survive christmas and new years? This guy.

Bird is the wird. Our hooded crow magpies are still hanging around. I was handing out crackers to the goats and this guy was like “why not me?”

    Merry Christmas dear Lasse! Hope and your family have a pleasant celebration on the 24th.

    I sent you a Christmas card, so hope you get it before February! LOL. Takes forever for mail to get delivered here let alone overseas.

    Here’s wishing you a very Happy New Year, as well. Please give the goats some scratches for me when you visit them next.
