Good goat times today. A bit cold, cold wind and a little rain. But some sun too. Sounds like Danish summer to me. Lots of nice visitors at the fence. One kid exclaimed, upon approaching the goat pen, “ARE THOSE REAL ANIMALS?!”. Haha. Yup. No animatronic goats here. That’s why it’s nice to have playgrounds like ours, gives kids the chance to get out and be around real animals. That’s good for everyone.
Not good for me was sitting next to Nuller and Sassy when they decided to butt heads. I don’t know who hit me, it may have been both. But I got hit right in the arm, and you know a goat heatbutt hits hard. I’m going to be feeling that tomorrow. In fact I’m already feeling it. Feels like i got kicked in the shin, only it’s my arm. Also, I managed to punch myself in the face. Getting greens in the morning. I was breaking off a braench above me and I had to pull hard on it to get it free and then suddenly it broke free and my fist connected with my face as if I was trying to Mike Tyson myself. I’ll be feeling that headache right above.. *checks wristwatch* now. But hey, this pucnhing bag had a good day with the goats anyway.

And here’s Mia with another round of visitors. I’m sensing a theme… Mia hanging with her head out of the fence begging for food. Mhm. The kids were getting grass for her and also petting her. A lot. I heard the guy saying something like how impressed he was with how tolerant she was being, haha. He also had to tell one of the kids to go a little easier on her, I think the kid was poking her a lot in the face. But she’s great with that, she never lashes out at the kids even if they’re a little rough.

Don’t know if it’s because of all the punches I took today, but my hands and legs are cramping like crazy. Maybe it’s because I walked to my parents and then home after the goating, instead of taking the bus. i’ve taken my turmeric and magnesium and done stretches, that usually helps. But not so much today. It’s rare that my hands get like this. Feels like the fingers are clawing together and then cramping. Grumbleth. Maybe I need more hydration. Better get the blender and make a pizza smoothie.

Well I was planning to go see the goats today, but despite sleeping a LONG time I still woke up feeling pretty broken. So no goats today. By now though I feel considerably better, so I should be goating soon. Note to self: Don’t punch yourself in the face.

For the premium subscribers, a little deleted scene. Me unlocking the gate in the morning. Nothing too interesting, but I like Nuller’s bleating in the background. He’s an impatient and demanding boy.

Rest in peace Bernard Cribbins. I must admit I did not know him from Doctor Who or any of his other many fine credits. I knew him solely for his absolutely wonderful portrayal of troublesome hotel guest Mr Hutchinson in one of my favourite episodes of one of my favourite TV shows, Fawlty Towers. And absolutely delighful performance. I still often think of his line ‘I’m not a violent man’ after beating Basil to the floor with repeated punches. And Basil croaking up ‘yes you are’ from down below the counter. Unforgettable.
A long and prolific life, we should all be so lucky.

No luck today either.
It would be funny if Mia had dragged the tub there herself so she could get up and check if there was anything on the roof, but alas I was the one who put it there. And then turned around and there she was.

Good goat times today. A beautiful hot sunny day. Lovely to be out goating. We had some visitors, some goat escapes, I did some construction of platforming, I started feeling woozy and had to eat one of the goats’ apples which Sassy thought was very inappropriate. But hey if I die of sunstroke you won’t be getting anymore treats, Sassy, so fair’s fair.
Unfortunately I have a personal issue weighing heavily on my mind right now. I’ll try to put on a happy face on the facebook, but if I’m even more absent or absentminded than usual that’s why. i’ll try and talk about it when I can. Love you yall..

Well, on an unrelated personal matter. Just got some good news from dad. His dementia evaluation thing has been moved up. He’s going to be going in about 4 months. So probably December this year. Which is a big improvement from November next year. So that is good news. So we’ll see how that goes and what they’ll be able to do for him to help manage things and such. It’s something. I’m glad we pushed for him to try to get a faster appointment.

This is the construction I did yesterday in the goat pen. Hauled in a couple new pallets and then put this old door as a slanted platform. I was hoping to see some jumping off it, but that didn’t really happen. But there was a good deal of goats sliding down it because apparently it’s a bit slippy. It’s a pretty good position for me to lie on on a sunny day, right in the glow. But we’ll see if i change things up.

Sky is a good girl, she knows she’s not supposed to leave the goat pen. She’d never do that…
or maybe she’s just a thrillseeker, she only likes going out when she’s not supposed to.

Dreamt last night that my dad bought a new computer for the family, but it was a much worse model than the one we already had.
May have been inspired by the tech support I do for dad.
But I can’t figoure out why my dad was an old asian man in the dream?! I.. I got nothing.

Rest in peace Nichelle Nichols. For me TNG was my first Star Trek, I only came to the original series later in life, so her history making was already made when I got to know her. But I can’t imagine anyone not loving Lt Uhura.

Here’s a bit of video from Friday. When I had to eat one of the goats’ apples because I was getting woozy. As you can tell, it was not popular among the goat demographic. If it seems mean of me, remember they get constant treats.

Good goat times today. It was a grey morning with a bit of rain. Which surprised me because the forecast had looked quite summery. But turns out the summery part only came in later in the day. It didn’t get really hot until I was walking home, typically! Haha. But it was pleasantly warm all day and the rain didn’t last too long. So it was nice enough. I enjoy the clippity clops of goat hooves on the wooden floor in the goat house. Especially when they suddenly speed up because someone has to the duck out of fodge. This is usually the newbies running when Mia arrives or Milo or Sky running when Sassy arrives. Suddenly the hoofsteps speed up, possibly followed by someone banging into a wall and then a blur of goat running past me to get out. It’s a dangerous life in the goat pen.
We had some nice visitors at the fence too. A fun little boy who seemed like a handful. He was quite loud and his mom had to keep running after him and trying to contain him. They had left his bike at the playground, but the boy didn’t want to take the 1 minute walk back where they’d come from. He wanted to go the whole way around the goat pen and the horse field and all that. Maybe a 10-15 minute walk, probably more with a little rascal like that. Haha. He got quite upset but eventually heis mom managed to drag him back the short way. He also got a poop show from one of the goats. He wasn’t really grossed out or excited by it though, just said “that one is pooping”. And his mom said “yes, all animals do”. And that was that.
But speaking of poop, another encounter at the fence was a guy from the community gardens across the path. I am pretty sure I’ve mentioned him before. His Danish is very bad. But he came and was trying to find out when the playground staff would be around. I told him I didn’t really know, I was just a goat helper. He picked up on the word for goat. And then he asked ‘what’s that called’ just as Sky was approaching. I thought he meant her but he went no no and was pointing at the ground. Then he leaned down and picked up a goat berry. Haha. He’s been asking before if he could have goat poop for his garden. Well, now I was a in a bit of a dilemma. What do I tell him that goat poop is called? I figured telling him they’re called goat beries might not be helpful haha. I ended up just tell him basically that they’re called ‘lort’ which is Dansih for shit. Slightly vulgar, but he didn’t really catch it when I tried more polite bæ and afføring. Hahah. Well, I don’t know if he’ll get any goat shit. Since they just poop all over the place it’s kind of hard to get any decent amount in one place. But good luck to him,.
When did my life become so poop centric?! Haha. I’m not pointing any fingers but…

Uh oh, we got another jailbreak. Milo may be The Bandit, but watch out for The Baby was well. Sky took a hike. Funny thing, I wanted to film her for a minute while she was out the pen. Then when I was going to go fetch her back in, she came up to the fence.. and managed to squeeze through and get back in the pen on her own! Haha. It’s like she has her little personal cat door. She comes and goes as she pleases. Well, I did my best to fix up the fence where she squeezed throught (it wasn’t the part that they put new fencing around) so hopefully she won’t be able to keep doing it. Sheesh. Next she’ll be digging a tunnel..

Good goat times today. Phew, it’s a scorcher! And i’m not just saying that. Turning on the news in the morning before headnig out they were talking about how we might set a new record for recorded temperature in Denmark today. Not sure if we’ll break it, but it’s a hot one. The forecast for my neighbourhood said upwards of 34C/93F. And that alone is extremely hot and rare for Denmark. A little cooler in the morning of course, and thankfully there was a good breeze and a bit of cloud coverage, which made it more bearable. But as the day wore on you could really feel that heat. Panting goats. Lots of relaxing. Sweet visitors getting greens for the goats at the fence. And treats of course, treats and cuddles.
And I made sure to eat and drink before heading out, so I didn’t feel like blacking out today. But the walk home was still quite draining. I love a beautiful summer day like this though. And now a cold bowl of koldskål for dinner. And probably some iced creams for dessert.

Well, it’s official. We got a new Danish heat record for July. I don’t think we’ve beaten the alltime record yet, but it could still happen today. It’s a hot one for sure.
I went shopping after the goat trip today and when I left the aiconditioned mall it felt like walking straight out into a carpet of heat.
Thoughts and sympathy for our friends in the southern parts of Europe, and Britain, who are having it even worse right now. At least in Denmark it’s just one day of max heatroom and then it’s back to just normal hotness, and in a few days we’ll be back down around 20/68.

Mia is wise to the fact that I often put foodstuff on the roof of the shelter when I’m getting ready to hand it out to them. So now it’s routine that she has to check to see if there’s anything good there. No luck this time, though!
