Good goat times today. A lovely quiet day with nice sunshine. No visitors at the fence, first time since the first day or two. I did get to talk to Jeanette a bit. But other than that it was just a mix of relaxing with the goats and running around with the goats. Having all that open space is good for goat running, but I think the hill up to the goat house really does the trick. Having a hill to run up and down seems to really get them jumping and running. it’s lovely. I love how Sky will just run all the way up the hill. It just cracks me up when she keeps going all the way up, even when Milo just stops halfway. She also seems to like just standing on the hill and looking out. That often happens when Mia and Milo are in the goat house, she’ll be out on the hill and looking out.
I had planned to go chek on the newbs today, but given how I felt yesterday I decided not to stress myself out with double goat duty. I think, THINK, my brain fog has cleared. I feel… okay. I think. Just a little concerned. Because it was kind of scary to be honest. It felt like an attack of dementia or something and I guess it freaked me out a little. But I think I’m ok. Anyway, I will try to check up on the newbs asap to see if there are any news, and just to give them some loving. I owe them that much.

Oh yeah, I checked up on the stuff in the goat house that some of you wondered about. The plastic bags only have hay or straw, there is no feed for the goats to get into.
Clearly Mia feels there SHOULD be food for her to get into. But don’t worry, they can’t get at anything bad there.

The Danish version of Lynch bringing back Twin Peaks after 25 years. Lars Von Trier brining back Kingdom. Damn I’m looking forward to this. What’s it been? 28 years? I can still hear the theme in my head. I hope it will be creepy as fork. Although it won’t be the same without Ernst. DANSKJAVLA

Good goat times today. Did double goat duty, old and new place. And got news both places. Unfortunately not the news we were hoping for. tldr in first comment.
Lovely sunny day. Grazed around with MMS. Sweet visitors at the fence. Kids petting the goats. A little girl going “she’s so beautiful she’s so beautiful she’s so beautiful” about Mia. Aw.
Talked a little with Jeanette. Apparently Mia and Milo had been a little rough with Sky yesterday, so much that they were a little concerned. I told her I wouldn’t be too concerned, they seemed perfectly fine and doing well together to me. I think it’s just that they have started butting heads a lot more now that they’re feeling safe there. And Sky is still lowest in the hierarchy, so I think it’s all within normal behaviour. We’ll keep an eye on it.
Eventually I worked up some courage and asked if Malene was around. She was in a meeting, but Jeanette went and checked if they were having a break. And then Malene came out. And I asked if there was any chance they would consider getting SNL to the place. And well you can probably sense where this is going. There is no chance. SHe was sympathetic to the fac that we’re still looking for a home for them, but there were rules and regulations and square footage and unfortunately it can’t happen. I get the feeling they are happy having 3 and have their hands full with that. She was telling me how they had a hard time getting them inside yesterday evening. Apparently Milo barked at them! Hah. But Malene likes Milo, they seem to be getting along well.
So well, that’s disappointing, but I was expecting it. It’s really too bad because the place is so nice and I would have loved to have the whole gang there. I wished I wished, but it wasn’t enough.
I also asked about maybe bringing the bench from the old place, and Malene said that shouldn’t be a problem. She said she’d call Lars at the old place and they’d work out the details. She was also again saying how happy they were to have the goats, and to have me there helping, and if there was anything I thought they needed to do just let them know. And she showed me a photo on her phone of a thing they wanted to build for the goats. Now because of my vision I couldn’t really see too well, but it seemed like maybe a slanted wall or something. Something for the goats to jump up on. I know they want to make more stuff for the goats, they’ve been talking about some kind of ladders at the fence, I’m not sure if it’s for kids to climb up and reach the goats or for kids to walk over and get into the pen with the goats. But I’m not sure what would then stop the goats from walking over it and getting out. But I’m sure they figure all that out. I know the plan is for them to let visiting kids get into the pen and spend time with the goats. Watch out for Milo!
Well we’ll see how that all goes. I had some trouble getting the goats in when it was time for me to leave. I still have to lock them in when I go, the fence situation hasn’t been fixed. Haven’t seen Jesper since that first day, I don’t know if he’s sick or I’ve just missed them. But anyway, as I mentioned the bus to the old place only goes once an hour. I spent so much time wrangling them goats inside that I very nearly missed it. In fact I only got Mia and Milo insde, but the as I was going to go try to get Sky, Jeanette came into the pen and I told her to just let Mia and Milo out once I was out of sight. And then I ran for the bus. And just made it with a minute to spare.
At the old place there was major construction going on in the stables building. Like walls torn down, loud machines, smoke and dust everywhere. SNL weren’t too happy with all that noise and commotion. But they were happy enough to see me, and the treats. I spent a little time with them. I still feel really bad, and guilty, even though I know it’s not my fault. I’m guilty that I can’t spend as much time with them as I used to. I just can’t sit for hours and hours in one place and then go sit for hours and hours at another place, day after day. I feel especially bad for Nuller. He’s not his usual inyourface outgoing self. Not that he sits depressed and lethargic, but there’s not the same energy. He seems to be the one who misses the others the most. Maybe misses me being around more too. He did remember how to shake hoof at least.
After spending some time with them I gathered up more courage and went looking for Lars. Went inside the office building and asked if he was there. A guy there showed me into his office. Asked if there were any news. On the list of possible homes I had given him last time i was there I had put a link to Dyrenes Beskyyelse. Animal Protection Denmark. The big animal protection assocation. And it turns out the goats’ case have been handed over to them. So they are looking to solve the issue now and find a home for SNL. I am not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand I have no doubt Dyremes Beskyttelse will do their very best, they have expertise and contacts and definitely would not want the goats to be put down. On the other hand it feels a little like the playground handing over responsibility to other and just not wanting to deal with it. Discarding the goats and letting someoen else deal with it. I don’t know. It does make it even more unlikely that I will be able to visit them wherever they go, chances of them being located close to me are not good now, and who knows if I will even be involved in the moving and if I will have any involvement at all with them going forward. I guess we will have to see. At the end of the day the most important thing is finding them a good home, and hopefully this is the right step for that. I will just have to believe in that.
Lars also asked if there was any news about the bench, last time we talked I had hasked if it was ok for us to take it. I told him Malene was going to call him about it. He said he’d just call her so they could talk, so whoever calls first it should be soon. I asked if it would be ok to take some of the pavement tiles too and maybe other things from the pen. He said basically ‘you’re in charge’. The only thing I wasn’t allowed to take was the goat house. Not that we could move that thing anyway. But yeah, looks like we’ll get the bench at least and maybe some other stuff. I’d like to take a couple of pallets and some pavement tiles so I can build a platform for the goats, like the one I built in the old pen. Feels kind of wrong to be taking it before SNL are gone though.. but.. they do have a lot of stuff in the pen to jump around on. And I think they spend most of the time in the goat house now. They spent some time under it today because of the loud machines frightening them.
Well anyway. Good times when I was with the goats. I wish the times with the humans had produced better results. But here we are. Just gotta deal.

Here’s Jeanette with Milo and Sky. She was squatting down and petting them and I thought I’d be sneaky and grab a quick photo, but just as I took it she was getting up and saw me. Whoops, caught. Well, she didn’t seem to mind thankfully. Just like Malene she seems to really like the goats, and I like that she stops to give them cuddles.

Good goat times today. I was feeling a bit rough yesterday, I think probably because of all the important humaning I’d been doing, it left me feeling restless and depressed and on edge. So today just a simple goat day with Mia, Milo and Sky. And no important talks.
Still had some nice unimportant talks with Jeanette. She was in the goat pen when I arrived. She remarked on how far away the goats seemed to be able to spot me and start hollering. “For a second I had thought they were bleating for me” she said haha. Yeah. Tey do know how to make me feel special and welcome.
Jeanette had brought a squash for them. From her own garden I guess. Apparently it had gotten too big. I didn’t know squash..es? could get too big. But the goats weren’t interested in it. I tried a few times, but no luck. Maybe they’ll want it later, after the treatbag is gone. But still, i think it shows, again, that Jeanette is very kind and cares about the goats. I really, really like her. She is sweet to the goats and to me and she’s pretty easy to talk to. I’m glad she’s there.
We had some nice visitors at the fence. Mia did her good petting goat thing. She has certainly proved me right abouth er being perfect for a playground. I am glad I convinced them to take her and I’m glad she’s living up to my words.

One from today’s exercise mix.
My throat started hurting last night and building up. But it seems to have cleared up today. I’ve been coughing a bit for a few days too though, who knows. But I felt good enough to get on the bike and give it a go. Felt good. Keep on keeping on.

Currently reading the autobgraphyish book by Tina Dickow, whomst I went to high school with before I dropped out. It was funny seeing her become a superstar in Denmark, and also getting a lot of recognition outside of Denmark.
I still remember fighting through the phobias and anxiety to go see her live shows a few times, standing after the show in the group of people waiting to get autographs and having her recognise and remember my name. That was pretty cool. Her latest record is her first in Danish and it’s gotten great reviews and I absolutely love it too. And the book is quite good too so far, it’s funny reading about places you know from your own past, namedropping places and schools that you went to yourself. And apparently Yoko Ono loved her cover of Working Class Hero.

Looking at old Tina stuff made me think of .. the 90s. Music. MTV. Puls on Tv2. Music programmes, youth programmes. I don’t even know if kids watch tv these days. I guess they watch.. tiktok. I saw that MTV are still holding music video awards, which is funny since they’re not a music channel anymore. Do bands still make videos for songs? Do they just go straight to their youtube channels now? I don’t know man. Everything is so different and I am old and confused. I was thinking the other day how I would hate to be born in this age and group in this world, but then to kids growing up now this is the normal and they’ll look back on how we used to have it and think that must have been hell. Can you imagine phones only being able to make phone calls, computer lessons in schools being one hour once a month and the rest was on PAPER with pencils and erasers, can you even imagine having to work out stuff in your head I can’t even.
And 30 years from now kids will be born straight into the metaverse mainframe simulation and they won’t be able to imagine having to turn on a computer when they have the computers implanted ni their brains at birth and they can watch music videos on the inside of your eyeballs. I was alive when Denmark had one tv channel and I experienced the hulabuloo when we got a SECOND tv channel and then we got cable and suddenly I could watch mtv and I got my first and only real girlfriend because she saw a letter I wrote to the MTV teletext pages called SPit It Out, can you imagine. I bet none of you even know what teletext is now, is there still a teletext button on your tv remotes? I used to check the soccerballsports news on DR teletext bpage 220 or whatever the page was. Now you just go to reddit or whatever sportsnews page you like, now you have all the news beamed into your frontal lobes, sponsored by gambling GET YUOR GAMBLING HERE 20 free spins guaranteed to win, don’t delay act now.
I could go on. For some reason this song popped into my head. Give us a ring-a-ding-ding, it’s a beautiful day.

Happy Caturday everyone. I hope it will be a good one.
I am, however, not well. I took a nap and yeah I can feel the stuff building up in my throat. Hurting. If I don’t clear my throat for an hour or two then I start feeling it.
I don’t really feel bad other than my throat though. I wonder if I’m at the beginning, middle or end of this thing I hope it won’t get worse. I also wonder if it’s connected to my brain fog day, last Sunday. I’ve been couging for a few days at least, maybe it’s all connected. Well, we’ll see I guess.

Happy Funday everyone. I hope it’s a good one.
How am I feeling? Well, my throat still hurts. But not too badly. It’s not like previous throat infections where I had to drink hot tea or something to clear it. Just clearing my throat normally seems to get most of the hurt away. But I can still feel a bit of an itch there. So there’s something going on. But my nose isn’t stuffy, I’m pretty sure I don’t have a fever, my appetite is there. No brain fog it seems, I was a little concerned if that would come back. Since it happened last Sunday after a long sleep, and now it’s Sunday and I had a long sleep… but seems fine. Had a good long sleep with lots of dreams.
The question is whether i should stay home for a while now or if I’m fine to go out. Other than the throat I feel like I’m fine enough for it. I guess I’ll see how I feel tomorrow morning.
Hope you’re all feeling alright out there.

Not quite sure how I’m feeling. Throat still hurting, until I clear it and then it’s just scratchy. I started feeling a bit woozy, or wobbly or other words with a w. Maybe just tired. I don’t know. Still not decided what to do. Stay in and sleep, go go out and goat.. I have an eye doc appointment next week, but my vision is stable so I might just skip it if I’m not feeling 100%. Don’t wanna spread germs around, even if it’s just a cold or whatever. Well we’ll see. W W Won’t we now.
