Good goat times today. We’ve had some hot and sunny days, but today came grey and rain. This is the way, of Danish summer. Wasn’t too bad, and had some dry times too, even a bit of sushine. Of course the goats don’t like the wet ground. Had to coax them out in the morning. Treats usually work. And then we had a good time sitting inside while it rained, and a bit outsidw hen it didn’t. Not too bad.
And then I thought I made it home dry. I just missed my bus so I decided to walk. Halfway home the rain started again. And hard. So I got soaked in the summer rain, but it was warm enough that it was quite pleasant actually. I like walking in the rain when it’s not too cold.
Suddenly the sky lit up and then a giant boom. The loudest thunderclap I can remember hearing in a long long time. But then I’m not often outside when it thunders. It felt like it was right in front of me. The awesome might of nature. But, let’s get the sun back soon, please.

During one of the pauses in the rain we had a couple of sweet visitors. A young lady with a little dog. Here Sky is trying to make friends. Now, I don’t know much about dog language, I can only assume the dog lifted its hind leg as a sort of highfive gesture, and there’s nothing else to that…
Haha. The lady kept saying “watch out you’re going to get headbutted”. But the dog did not get headbutted. As she walked away the lady told “she usually gets headbutted” and laughed. I wonder if it’s Milo the bandit who has been defending the pen from the giant dog monster. He’s got a reputation of headbutting people, so dogs surely aren’t safe either.

Had a doctor’s appointment in the morning, before goat times. My blood pressure is good. A little low in fact, but they tell me that’s preferable when you got the diabeetus. Now we just have to see what my blood sugar is like. If it’s improved then I can keep going like this, otherwise I may need further action. It hasn’t been alarmingly bad, but with my relatively young age they want it lower. We’ll see.

Here’s another picture showing the size difference between Milo and Sky. Of course Sky is on a lower rock, but you can still tell she’s lil goater.

Good goat times today. Absolutely beautiful day. Upwards of 22C/71F and lots of sunshine. For Denmark that is high summer. Lovely. So warm that Mia kept retreating to the shadows and going inside to sit. Oh, the human wants to sit in the sunshine with me? Pfft, nuts to that! Yeah yeah. She’s an old lady now, can’t blame her for wanting to sit where it’s cooler. It was just lovely to have such a nice day with them. I hope there will be more of those this summer. You never know with the danish weather.
There was a kindergarten group walking down on the path past the pen and I heard on of their adults ask the kids “did you help catch the goat yesterday?”. Apparently one of the goats escaped yesterday. I wasn’t there yesterday, I don’t know how it happened. I would guess little Sky probably found a hole in the fencing to squeeze through. The fencing constantly needs fixing and refixing because the goats butt their heads on it and stand on it and it just gets battered a bit. But hey ho, all the goats were in the pen when I got there today so I guess they caught the escaper and fixed the hole! It’s a good thing the goats don’t have any interest in running any further than the nearest greens. It was probably quite the circus if there were kids there helping to catch the escapee. I can just imagine.

Goats relaxing in the shade. Mia was nice enough to give Sky a little rear-space. And the newbs in the shelter. Of course Lily and Nuller close, mama and her boy.

Been having long sleeps and lots of dreams lately. Nothing coherent enough to relate here, other than that one dream where Buffybot in a different dimension a had been left alone for thousands if not millions of years on an abandoned alien spaceship and now it was coming back to our dimension to take revenge on us all. So if you watched the Buffy back in the day, you’re welcome. And if you didn’t, well that’s your loss.
Hmm, maybe I could build a Kristen Bell bot…

Good news, everybody! My blood sugar is down. The doc still wants it to get lower, but they say that if I continue to improve then we won’t have to look at the new medications that they were thinking about maybe getting me on. So hey, that’s good. We’ll check back in fall and see what the numbers say by then.
It’s nice to know that I’ve been able to make an effort and make some change on my own. Definitely still room for improvement, but hopefully seeing that I can do it on my own will be some motivation to keep at it.

I get more and comments on Mia’s page in sort of Arabic writing. I forget or am too stupid to remember or know what it’s called. But you know. I usually press the ‘see translation’ button to see if i can make heads or tails of it. There was a comment just now on a baby pic that was translated to “She’s going to smash the ostrich”. Haha. I don’t know if that’s a bad translation or some kind of local saying or what. But it amused me nonetheless. Sometimes you just gotta smash the ostrich.

Nuller is not a good escape goat. I hadn’t locked the gate after getting water and he managed to push it open. But instead of running out he just stood there like he didn’t know what to do. Maybe it was because his mama wasn’t with him. If it had been Mia or one of her adoptees they’d been running out.

Well, it’s not a good day in Denmark. There has been a shooting in a shopping mall. Police confirm multiple people have been hit, I’ve seen reports of one dead but nothing confirmed about fatalities or injuries. Or anything else really. It’s reported that there’s a suspect in custody, but I’m not sure if that is confirmed either.
Shootings are very rare in Denmark, and when they do happen it’s almost always internal gang conflicts, it’s not something that happens to random strangers who are just out living their lives. I can’t even think of anything else like this happening here, not like this in what seems to be a completely random place.
There’s a Harry Styles concert tonight in that area, but no connection to that.
Just gut wrenching. I’ve heard reports of 3-4 shots and 6-7 shots fired. I can’t help thinking if this was America it could have been some semi-automatic weapon and who knows how many bullets everywhere. I can’t imagine living in a society where shootings are just something that happens more or less every day. Having kids in schools needing to be prepared for it.
I just feel kind of sick. I hope it’s not going to get worse. It’s bad enough already. Hoping for the safety of everyone out there.

Fuck. Police has confirmed there are multiple deaths. Hopefully there is only the one perpetrator that they have in custody. Obviously police is on high alert and working hard to make sure everything is under control. It’s a dark day in Denmark.
