Tall just like a giraffe, you gotta climb to find its head. but if there’s a glitch you’re an ostrich, you got your head in the sand.

Having some problems with my bathroom light. I managed to fix it enough so i can get a new fluorescent rod thing inserted, but still no light. My dad is trying to help me, as always. I’m worried I’m going to have to have the super or an electrician come look at it, though. There’s no worse horror to me than letting strangers into my place. I wish they could send a goat. Quick, someone train a goat to fix electrical wiring and send him over.

Oh by the way, I can’t remember if I ever shared this. I know some of you have seen it, because you have shared it with me. A certain uncle Treatbag and a certain Mia goat is featured right at the start.

Good goat times today. It started out nice anyway. I brought greens for the goats again and they were very happy with that. And we had sweet visitors who got to pet Mia and they all enjoyed that. One of their adults asked me what goats sound like. Haha. That’s something they usually ask their kids. But this lady said ‘excuse me..” and asked me. So I had to do my best goat bleat, since the goats weren’t talking. Haha.
After an hour or two suddenly.. rain. Thundering down. Hard hard rain. May have been some hail in there too. It came down really hard, can’t remember the last time it rained so hard. So we spent some time in the goat house. And it didn’t stop. So I ended up having to walk home in the rain. Good thing I’d brought my jacket. I didn’t know it was going to rain, I had figured I’d wear my jacket in the morning when it was a bit chilly and then I’d throw it over my shoulder for my walk home when it’d be warmer, like I usually. But nope I really needed it today. Even waring my jacket I still go completely soaked. Oh well. If it had been a little warmer it would have been a lovely walk in the rain. It’s been a dry month of May so I guess it had something to make up for on the last day.

Here are the goats enjoying their greens before the flood started.
Sky has a private booth so she doesn’t have to contend with the riffraff in the main dining room.

Good news everyone! I managed to get my bathroom light fixed. Oh I am very relieved. I was dreading the idea of having to get a hold of the super and maybe having to pay an electrician and dealing with peoples.
Turns out it wasn’t a new lightning rod I needed. I know, that’s not what it’s called. Fluorescent.. rod? Bulb? Whatever. Anyway, turns out there’s a thing called a starter, I think in English. Behind the rod. I never ever knew that until I googled looking for advice on replace a lightning fluor rod. Shoutout to my dad for not only getting me a new rod but also a new starter. And shoutout to me for, after much fidgeting, managing to change the starter. I also managed to fix the rod socket. When I took the old one out originally I somehow managet to get it jammed around so a new one couldn’t be inserted. But I managed to get that unjammed, get a new starter in and get the new rod in an oh what a relief to see the light flicker on.
It’s not easy fidgeting with that stuff when you are 80% blind and you don’t know what you’re doing.
This is one of those things where 90% of people would think “this is nothing,e easy as pie, not even worth thinking about” but to YOU it’s a big deal. I’m sure we all have those things. Things that feel like a big accomplishment to you even though you know it’s not really a big deal.
Anyway. I’m just glad it’s done and I can stop worrying about it. I have a functioning rod again, you’re welcome both of you.

Not R.E.M.’s most famous song about rain, but I always loved this one. i loved Reveal in general. I kinda admire rem for becoming one of the biggest bands in the world and then going weirder ways instead of chasing the top of the charts. New Adventures in Hi-Fi is probably my favourite of theirs.
Kinda reminds me of the pumpkins following that rat in a cage mega double album with a weird synth goth thing, my favourite Adore.
Anyway. I’ll take the rain, as long as it’s not too cold.
And now I’ll do some nightswimming, I know that’s not about dreaming but I always liked the idea of dreaming being nightswimming…

If you’re the rain king, then why can’t you turn off the rain? asked the goats.

Editing rain videos. I do love the sound of rain pounding on the goat house roof. A preview for the premium subscribers, including Lasse dialogue, performed by a professional voice actor. Although in this preview I’m using the original temp track by myself.

Good goat times today. A bit cold and grey, some raindrops now and then. But nothing like the flood last time.
I got my exercise today, chasing goats. When I took Sky out of the pen for some of our special time, well I guess I didn’t secure the gate properly because Mia managed to push it open. Zoom, she ran off towards buildings next to the pen. And then stopped and looked around with a look on her face like ‘hmm I’m not sure i’m supposed to be here… and I don’t think there’s any greens here’. So it wasn’t too hard to get her to run back towards the pen. But then she kept on running past it because THAT’S where the greens are, down by the path. Haha. So I let her enjoy her freedom for a couple of minutes while I gave a pear to Sky and got Sky back in the pen. And then I managed to wrestle, metaphorically speaking, Mia back in the pen. Freedom, enjoy it while it lasts!
And I think Nuller broke my rib. Nah, probably not. But I was sitting on the steps of the goat house and leaning back, to stretch out my aching back. And the little turd jumped up on my chest! Well, big turd. Thankfully he jumped right off. And I didn’t feel any cracking of ribs, like the many many times in the past when I have broken or bruised ribs. Haha. So hopefully I’m good. But he’s way too heavy to be standing on my chest. I might be sore tomorrow…
Speaking of my aching back, today I walked the whole walk home from the goats without taking the bus for the first time since.. well sometime last year. I have started doing my back exercises again. I stopped doing them at some point. I don’t know if it’s just coincidence but I feel like my back has been getting better after I started doing the exercises again. Maybe it’s also helped that I’ve lost some weight. In any case, it was nice to be able to walk the whole way and not have to keel over in pain afterwards. So far so good.

I’m getting a very fancy visitor today. The queen of Denmark.
No really.
Well, okay. She’s not coming specifically to visit me. But she is visiting my neighbourhood today. I’d offer her a cup of coffee, but I don’t have coffee. And she’s not getting my pizza.
I live in a pretty famous neighbourhood. Or, rather infamous. One of the most famous in Denmark. Because it’s a ‘ghetto’. It used to be pretty bad, but they have done a lot of things to change it. it’s very different now from what it was when I moved in many years ago. And hey, they might still decide to tear down the apartment block I live in, as part of the changes. Anyway. I hope her majesty has a nice day here. I am not a royalist. I am in fact against the monarchy. Not to be a sourpuss, but it’s an outdated instituton. We’re not some fairy tale kingdom, we’re a modern society. And the idea of families having multiple castles in a country with homeless people, well that just doesn’t fly with me. So I’d prefer to end the monarchy. That’s not going to happen, though. Because our queen Margrethe is amazing. Everyone loves her. And I like her too. She’s great for the arts and humanities and our reputation and all that. By all accounts she’s quite wonderful. That’s just not a reason to keep a monarchy. You should instead think about the opposite. What happens the day we get a queen or king who’s a jackass that everyone hates. Consider the monarchy then. I think a lot of brits are quite unhappy with their lot. Although they just had a jubilee or something.
Anyway. Abolish the monarchy and church, that’s my position. In case you were wondering.
And if the queen knocks on my door, well I guess I can show her some cute goat videos.

Dreant about David Bowie last night. He was in several venues. First he was coming out on some kind of club scene, looking really cool with some band member around him. And then he was standing up on giant outdoors scene and there was a massve crowd all around, must have been a festival or something, and he was screaming out at the crowd YOU’RE ALL SPARKLING.
Pretty neat. I’m still enjoying my Bowie journey a lot. I have been stuck on Station To Station for a long time because I’m loving it so much, especially the live bonus tracks. Good stuff. I wish I had more profesionally recorded Bowie bootlegs, I love listening to his live stuff. I have always loved listening to live music, but my tolerance to crappy audience recordings isn’t as high as it used to be in the old pumpkins days when I’d listen to any low quality recordings I could get my hands on.
Anyway, hope you’re enjoying the weekend. The queen sends her regards.

Here is Milo being a brave bandit and checking out the horrible ghost glove of terrible frightness.
A few seconds later he was backing off and bleating a complaint about how monstreous that disembodied hand was and how it offered him no treats, only threats of surely wicked violence and despair, oh my.
