I think my exercise mix is probably different from most. I tried looking at some of the traditional music people use, but it doesn’t really work for me. It’s not enough to have a thumping beat or be loud. I need some emotional connection too.
Like this one that came on today, always makes me happy. My favourite airplane song, other than The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right).

I spent almost 24 hours in bed. I know it’s a luxury to be able to do that. But then in a sense it’s a luxury to have a life that demands you can’t. Depends on how you look at it.
I had a bunch of great dreams. I won’t bore you with the details. I dreamt about playing Championship Manager 01/02. Which is kind of funny. But I spent many many hours playing that when I was younger, so I guess it’s imprinted in my subconscious somewhere.
I sometimes feel the desire to play it again. The dream made me want to, so when I got up I actually tried loading it up. it runs on my new PC, but I couldn’t get past the first screen. There’s stuff that’s hard to do when you need to run with special settings. My screen resolution is so low that the buttons you need to press to start the game are placed so low that they go off the screen and you can’t click on them. I suppose I chould change my resolution to play, but then that would affect everything else. And CM is not a ‘pick up and play for 10 minutes’ kind of game. It’s the kind of game you can be playing all day while doing other things.¨
It’s too bad. I would have liked to play it. I would have liked to be in the crowd of a Kent concert. I would have liked to do a lot of things. Sometimes I wonder what could have been. What I could have been. How things could have been.
But I guess instead I dream.
I was frustrated the other day, watching TV. That thing the other day when I felt like watching Fringe again. I wonder how much I can follow now. I watch shows now and even if they aren’t terribly complicated it still gets hard to follow. Even after watching a show for several seasons it can be hard to tell people apart, and hard to remember what’s going on. I don’t know if it’s the face blindness or bad memory or both, but things don’t stick as well. It’s frustrating to be watching something you’ve been watching a long time and still be lost.
And seeing the world evolve into tiktoks and smarthpones and apps and things you can’t do. Feeling left behind. Not to mention the war and disease and religion and pain and suffering and hatred and crypto and greed and
Sometimes I wish I could live in a bubble circa 1995. Or grow wings and fly away.
Anyway, there’s no point to all of this and I do apologise if you read it all. Maybe I should go back do writing on livejournal more often.
I’m thankful I got the goats, and you all. Thanks yall.

Good goat times today. A lovely, sunny day. Upwards of 15C/59F, although colder in the morning. But it felt like a spring day. And the greens are starting to sprout. Not enough to start picking stuff for the goats. But it’s nice to see it start to bloom. And lots of lazily sitting around in the sun with the goats. Along with the usual headbutting and treatgiving. All in a day’s goating.
Pop quiz: Can you guess who escaped from the goat pen?

If you guessed Sky, then you are correct. I heard Milo bleating like something very unfair had happened and I looked over and Sky was walking around on the other side of the fence. She’s just impatient for our special time I guess. In the photo I have joined her outside and she’s getting an apple, with several upset bystanders looking on from the confines of their tortorous imprisonment. It pays to be the little one when squeezing out a fence. I hope I managed to mend it this time.

Ouw my legs, I’m starting to regret this whole exercise thing.
Nah, I’m enjoying it. Mostly. Dropped another kg in a few days. Not bad. Almost celebrated by ordering pizza. But somehow refrained. What a boring, thin life it will be!

Good goat times today. Another lovely, sunny day. A cold wind in the morning, but it’s really starting to feel like spring. I love it.
We had a big brawl today. Mia and the newb squad knoking heads and humping. 4 way action. And then Milo walked over to Sky and they started butting heads at the other end of the pen. Must be spring.
We had some nice visitors at the fence too. Two or three young mothers with kids. And then suddenly the gate swung open. One of their kids had grabbed the stick I put in the lock to keep it shut. I usually just put a stick in it so I don’t have to mess with my keys and locking and unlocking while i’m there. With the stick gone, the gate swung open. The humans were quite surprised. But so were the goats. So surprised that no one took the chance to run out. And I got up from my seat real fast to get it closed haha. So no escapes. Not by Sky either, even though I caught here over by the fence looking like she was searching for that escape hole she found last time. Guess I managed to mend it ok.

Alright, I’m going to head to bed. I’m pretty tired. I have been doing stuff for 4 days in a row. I know I sound like a wuss, but I usually take some ‘days off’. Goating, exercise, goating, exercise. I actually threw up when I got home today, I’m not sure if it’s lingering stuff from when I was feeling off and queasy, if it was from being out in the sun with my back hurting a lot, not enough sleep. I don’t know. It was one of those things where you’re really throwing up a lot of stuff you ate, but stomach acid. Pretty nasty. My throat is still sore from it.
Anyway, not feeling too bad. Had something to eat and my tummy feels ok, so now I’m just going to go sleep perchance to dream. Oh who am I kidding, I always dream.

Good goat times today. A lovely day. According to the forecast up to 15C/59F, although it probably wasn’t quite that warm in the morning when I was out, and there was some cold wind and occasional cloud coverage. But still, warmer than most days we’ve had this year. And Easter holiday I guess, more young kids around than normal
Just when I arrived a young mother with a couple of little girlsand a baby in a stroller came over to the fence at the goat house. She asked if it was ok to give some apple pieces to the goats. I said sure and Mia jumped up with her front legs on the fence and poked her head through trying to get at them. Startled both the kids and the momma. She was holding out an apple piece for Mia, but she was doing it in the way where you try to keep your hands as far away from the mouth as possible. She admitted she was a little scared. Mia was trying to do the giraffe and get her neck as long as possible to get at the apple piece. But it wasn’t working out. Eventually the momma asked me if I’d show her how to do it. So she gave me the apple piece and I held it out in a flat hand and Mia gobbled it up immediately. Oh that wasn’t so bad, the momma said. I told her how goats don’t have upper front teeth, so unless you’re really poking your fingers into their mouth you’re not really going to get bitten. Her kids got a pasta wheel each but yeah they were too scared too and ended up throwing them into the pen for the goats to run after. Still, a lovely little family. The mother thanked me for the talk and wished me a happy Easter as they went along.
Later on I was sitting over by the gate with the goats when a couple of young girls came over. “You know you’re not really supposed to be in with the goats” one of them said. I told them I had permission because I was a volunteer goat herder. And that was ok. “They’re all so sweet” she said. And quickly followed with “except number 18. He’s the one everyone is afraid of”. Haha. Milo’s bandit reputation is still going strong. And he was quite the bandit today actually. But I’ve typed enough for now, i’ll tell more with pictures later. I’m starving and my legs are cramping. Gotta stretch and make food. Here’s hoping for more warm days soon, the forecast shows a bit of a cooling down again now. Come on spring, you can do it!

Okay, time for the Milo bandit story. In this picture Mia the sheriff is trying to school the outlaw bandit Milo.
They were really going at it. Like really. I think it’s only the second time, that I can remember anyway, that I’ve seen goats go at it for that long and that hard. It actually started with Sky and Mia butting heads. But then Milo butted in and it turned into long brutal duel. I actually started thinking maybe I should break them up before someone got hurt. Really hard headbutting and panting and running around with their heads together, I almost thought their horns had gotten locked together or something, but no they were just struggling. Mia running several steps back so she could get a running start to a rear up and headbutt. And Milo was making some guttural grunting buck noises that I’m not even sure I’ve ever heard him do before. It was quite the racket. I’m not sure what got them going like that. It’s very rare that Milo and Mia butt heads. Sky will butt heads with Miasometimes, when the hormones are acting up I think. But not often that Milo will do it. And not like this. Maybe I should start packing aspiring in the treatbag too.
But don’t worry, they were okay and eventually calmed down.

Had some good exercise time today. Up to about 1½ hour session. And dropped about 1½ kg in the last couple of weeks. Lowest recorded weight since some time in 2019. Not that weight loss is the main goal, I just need to get in better shape after the lung business, and get my clood sugar under control. But it’s always nice to drop a bit of weight, especially when t-shirt weather is coming up.
Also been enjoying my audiobooks. I enjoyed Klara And The Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro so much that I decided to finally get around to reading his Never Let Me Go novel that I’ve had on my list to read for years. Enjoyed that very much too. I can recommend them heartily if you like the sort of sci-fi that has some societal critique and all. Artificial intelligence and clones. I want to read his The Remains Of The Day too, but couldn’t find it in English in any of my sources. So i’ll have to keep an eye out for that.
And let’s not talk about the football.

Having some tummy troubles and feeling a bit woozy. Probably just because I didn’t have pizza yesterday. Or didn’t sleep.

How am I feeling? I’m feeling off. Not too bad. Not snotty or hurting. But there’s just something off. Feel a bit queasy and shivering.
I slept for a very long time and had a range of interesting, funny and emotional dreams. It’s all fading too much to make any kind of sense retelling, but oh boy I love dreaming.

Rest in peace Liz Sheridan. The last of the Seinfeld parents has passed. Her character wasn’t as funny as George’s mother, but I really liked her. And I also really liked her as Mrs Ochmonek on ALF. I loved ALF and that name Ochmonek for some reason just stuck in my head. I liked her a lot.

I feel like watching Fringe again. Walter is one of the alltime great tv characters and the father/son relationship with Peter and Walter was just wonderful, and then the cow and ‘Asterisk’ and scifi, it was so good. I wonder how it would be to binge those old shows. I’d like to rewatch Person Of Interest again too. And X-Files, the old stuff. And heck Lost. Again. Those shows that went on for years with 20+ episodes a season. With half a year between seasons and online fandom forum discussions. Feels like a different age, with 8-10 episodes per season and you know practically everything about a show before it starts airing. I remember when X-Files began the Danish tv station where kinda cageya bout it like ‘it maaaybe based on real events, it maaaybe not be entirely fictional’ and you didn’t have the internet, you were just a kid and you didn’t know andwhy WOULDNT the X-files be real it could happen you don’t know, it’s not like a secret government organisation would tell you the trutht it could be happenign why not.
Yeah. There’s so so much tv old and new I want to watch, so many movies old and new I want to watch, so many books old and new I want to read, and I end just watching youtube videos all day. It makes me a little sad. My attention span has just become OH LOOK A SQUIREEL

Just watched an episode of The Simpsons that featured a baby goat, andit was pretty cute. But shockingly inaccurate. They had it eating a fkn tin can, and other things that goats can’t/shouldn’t eat. Way to teach kids to feed tin cans to goats.
Maybe it was that diet that caused the goats poop to NOT BE BERRIES. The goat poop was actually part of the plot.
There was actually a bunch of stuff in that episode that was kinda sad and disturbing. There were teenagers pretending to be a satanic cult, literally saying they were going to sacrifice the goat. There was Martin going off the rails and breaking into a pharmacy to steal medication to deal his parents pressuring him and there was Lisa desperately wanting to experience what it’s like to be an only child because she’s so neglected in her everyday life.
Honestly, it was kind of grim. But the baby goat was really cute. Just wished they’d got the poop right.

When I set up the self-timer to take some shots I always set it to take 3 pictures in quick succession. Nice to have some choices and i just delete the worst ones. Sometimes you get a fun progression in the pictures. This is like a mini flipbook where you can see Milo realizing the camera is on. If i had set it to take 6 pictures then the 3 next would have been Milo’ face progressively filling the screen has he gets up close to ruin the shot. It’s always a race to try and get photos or video before Milo tries to ruin it. The bandit.
