Los Cazafantasmas
I bet you are all tired of hearing me go on and on about how I’M MOVING OUT IN FIVE (5!) DAYS. So today I will just post some goat pictures. Maybe that will stop you all from complaining all the time!
Sweet Mads. Always greets me like that.
And I give him good headrubsies.
Magnethe took the bench while Mads was preoccupied with my leg.
“What do you mean ‘my nose looks biiig’?!”. Don’t worry Magnethe, it’s just the angle…
Vanilje running towards me. You can tell she is running because the chain is in midswing there.
Her horns are still growing. I don’t think it will be too long before they are fully grown and grand like Magnethe’s.
And she loves being scratched between them. I think it’s her favourite spot.
Mads again, with Magnethe in the blurry back.
Kids came by and started giving leaves to the goats. As always the goats were very pleased with that.
Not least Mads. He ran back and forth and chased the sisters away so he could have all the leaves to himself. Finally the girl there in the picture asked me if I couldn’t get him away so they could feed Magnethe and Vanilje too. She spoke English, the girl. I lured Mads away with raisins from my pocket. And everyone seemed to be happy with that.
A mouthful of leaves for Magnethe.
I hope you’re all happy now!
PS. When I say there is five days till I move I really mean more like four. Because Friday is pretty much over. And then it’s just Saturday and Sunday and Monday and Tuesday and then I’M MOVING. Oh Em Gee, I can’t believe it.
PPS. I’m reading two books at the moment. I thought I’d just brag about that because I have never done that before. At least not since I was a wee kid. Usually I focus on one book and finish it before starting another. But I’m all in a reading mood now so in addition to my “angel book” I am also reading Bob Zmuda’s “best friend tells all” biography about Andy Kaufman. I’m taking it with a big grain of salt, but it’s still fascinating. I love looking up old clips of Kaufman on youtube. I wish I had “been there” when he was around.
PPPS. I got a package from my ISP today. Router and other stuff. I was quite happy to get that. I was a little worried that there might be some mishaps what with me having a present and a future address. I was worried they’d send the package to the new place and it wouldn’t be deliverable because my name sign isn’t on the door yet. But thankfully all seems to be going smoothly.
PPPPS. On Monday I’m going to the housinge organization headquarters to give the form that states what name I want on my name sign. I have resisted putting “Plume Ploomay” on it since that’s not really my legal name and everything.
PPPPPS. I have been very tired and sleeping a lot, both at day and night. I wonder if it’s all the excitement and nervousness about the move or if it’s because I’m a little sick or something.
PPPPPPS. The weather forecast says rain the coming days. But not rain on Agust 1st. That would be very nice. So we don’t have to move stuff in the rain. I’m hoping very much that my dad’s friend Oluf will be able to help us on the 1st already. He has agreed to help us, so that’s a big help. I like helpful people that help, that’s very helping of them. Help, I need somebody help!
PPPPPPPS. Don’t forget Vanilje:

Our goatzies have been eating apple tree leaves like they’re candy. I wonder how long it would take them to eat the whole tree? They are better than rakes in the fall when all the leaves come down. They just scarf them up.
If it’s not mountain lions we’re hearing about, it’s the “Elvis” sightings in town. Yes, I saw Elvis today in our local convenience store. They have a big cardboard sign with Elvis on it for some kind of promotion. And one of the restaurants has “Fat Elvis” ice cream. We’re going to be some kind of tourist attraction yet. Now if we only had aliens and crop circles we’d be on the map!

Debster – The goats don’t even need a snake to tempt them with apple (leave)s.
Funny you should mention (and meet) Elvis. I was just reading about him in the Kaufman biography.
Do you need a Plume to attract tourists to your town? I will gladly sit and give out autographs, as long as I don’t have to speak to anyone of course! Maybe I can have Mads sitting next to me so he can do all the talking. And by “talking” I mean “baahing until someone feeds him”, naturally!

Yes, I think a “Plume” would be a definite drawing point for tourists in our town. You can sit in front of the local convenience store. We can make up some signs for you to point to like: “Hi, I’m from Denmark . . . the country not the nearby town.” “I like goats, do you like goats?” “Please give me some lemonade, I’m hot.”

Debster – I could use those signs on a daily basis really! I wouldn’t have to talk to people at all! MAybe I could make some signs for Mads too. “Please give me raisins”. “Please give me nuts”. “Please give me raisins AND nuts”. “GIVE ME THE DAMN RAISINS AND NUTS ALREADY”. And so on.
I find it fascinating that there is a town called Denmark. I wonder if there are any towns called America in Denmark? I mean, in the country Denmark not the town Denmark. It would be a bit odd if there was a town called America withing the town called Denmark. Hmm.
