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.

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.

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.

Good goat times today. A bit of a grey and cold morning, but it warmed up later with a bit of sun now and then. No grand adventures today, just lots of good goat cuddles and bleats. There were some workers working the stables building next to the goat pen. You know, were the goats and horses used to live before the goats moved out into the goat house in the pen. It’s been empty in there for a long time I think. I think it flooded this winter too, when the faucet broke. One day there was a machine working all day, i think pumpking water out. Anyway, I’m not sure what they were doing today, but there was hammering and drilling and sawing and a radio going. The goats got spooked by the noise a couple of times, but it wasn’t too bad. Maybe tehy are going to fix up the place so the horses can come back after summer vacation? That’d be nice, I’d like to have them back. But I have no idea what the plans are for the place. We’ll see. Maybe they’re going to make it into an apartment FOR ME so I can live there and never leave, i just hope there will be room for a double bed for me and Kristen Bell and we’ll need a pizza oven and a home theatre and, please excuse me I have a lot of work to do.

My dad just came over to drop off his blood pressure measuring device so I can borrow it. Or, that was what he was supposed to do. Instead he handed me some money, that he thought he was coming over to give me. Some money that he more or less had already given me. He had no recollection that he was supposed to bring me the bp device. His memory is just getting worse and worse. I am really sad and frustrated that his dementia appointment thing isn’t until next forking year, I think November next year. I don’t know if there’s anything they can do at all. But waiting a year and half just seems unfair.
I keep telling him to ask his doc if they can’t do anything faster. He says he’ll ask, but I don’t know if he even remembers that… Even though he’s gotten into the habit of necessity of writing everything down in his calendar, well today was an example of even that failing. Maybe he wrote it down somewhere and.. forgot where. Forgot to check. Who knows. I can talk to him in the morning and if I talk to him again in the evening he will have zero memory of what we talked about. It’s just gone.
Especially scary when thinking of uncle Jens passing away from dementia related things. It’s hard not to think about whether, or I guess when, the time will come when he doesn’t remember us anymore… He’s still functioning well enough, working ni the charity thrift store downtown, doing anything and everything to help us all. It’s just a scary prospect.
Like my blindness, only going to get worse. Only a matter a matter of time. Which is why the long waiting list for the dementia clinic is so fkked.
Anyway. Just had to get that off my chest. Before my blood pressure explodes.

Good goat times today. A bit of a grey day, but comfortably warm enough. I did some gardening in the goat pen. Pulling up more of the stinging nettles in the places where we like to sit. I put on gloves (run, Milo, run!) but I still managed to burn my arm. It’s not too bad, but I can definitely still feel it. Oh well. We had some nice visitors at the fence too, a couple of families. And that boy who’s been around before, the one who comes with an older girl or guardian. Today it was a different one iwth him, a little older I think. The first thing he said when he saw me was “do you have any more pasta?”. He likes giving pasta to the goats. The lady with him told him that it was polite to wish someone a good morning when you first see them. I definitely get the sense that the boy is under some kind of tutoring or mentoring. And social skills are part of it probably. But he seems nice and likes the goats. Like one of the other times with the other girl he was with, today he was telling the new lady about the names he’d given the goats. I think it’s Milo that he calls Liam. Which prompted the lady to ask him if he knew about the local Liam. There’s a Danish rapper who goes by the name LOC, Liam O’connor. Apparently he grew up in our neighbourhood. Anyway, I prefer Milo’s bleats.
Other than that just a whole lotta goat fun to take my mind off other things.

They are still working in the stable, clearly. There was a whole lot of digging going on yesterday. If I remember correctly there was never actually a proper floor in there, it was just pavement tiles like outside. Maybe they’re putting in a proper floor. For the horses. Or for me and Kristen.

Slept for a long long time, sunny day and warm night, deep wonderful dreams. Unfortunately had to wake up to reality. Pesky reality. I don’t want to go on about it, you all know what you all know. You know when I talked about becoming a real boy, I wasn’t talking about gender. I was talking about becoming human. But you know what, maybe I don’t want to become human. Maybe I want to become goat. Bleat bleat, feed me.

It just occured to me that Hayden Christensen has a sister named Hejsa, which means “hello there” in Danish, I have noted that before. But what occured to me is that Hayden’s name starts with Hay which sounds like Hey. I wonder if Hayden’s parents are super into greetings.
I don’t really wanna do a whole big review of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, I’ll just say that I loved it and had tears in my eyes several times through the final episode. I understand why some people have problems with the show, and with the Boba show, and with other things Disney are doing with Star Wars. As long as you’re not one of the racist bigot fans then your feelings are valid and maybe Disney Star Wars isn’t for you. That’s fair. i’ve had to accept that cuirrent Star Trek isn’t for me, I jst don’t want it. Which is why I’m glad I have The Orville.
Anyway, that’s all for this episode of Hello There.

Today is the 30th anniversary of one of the best days of my life. Denmark winning the European Championship in soccerballsports.
Now, I’m not saying sports is the most important thing in the world. But, like music and literature and movies and other artforms, it can give great joy and experiences. I’m not really a fan of the nationalistic side of it. Nothing worse than people saying [my country] first. Especially people who claim to have christian values and yet want to take care of their own and let their neighbours suffer. But I digress.
I’ve talked about this sporting even before so I’ll try not to go on for too long. But it was a magic even. Such a surprise, a sensational outlandish thing. Like the Harlem Globetrotters losing a game. Something that will never happen again. Because Denmark didn’t even qualify. We fisnished second to Yugoslavia in our qualifying group, but when they were excluded because of, well check your history books, Denmark got their place. No preparation, no expectations, players called home from vacation. As one of them famously said when asked if they could go for 90 minutes (which is the length of a soccerballsport game) “Sure. 30 minutes in the first game, 30 minutes in the second game and 30 minutes in the last game”. Three games in the group stage you see. So yeah. Even under normal circumstances a tiny country like Denmark wouldn’t be given much of a chance. And it wasn’t a popular Danish side. We were coming off our golden generation in the 80s that played ‘champagne football’ and got the Danish Dynamite monicker. A new coach with a more boring style of football, new players that weren’t as famous, or good, as the last ones. It’s easy to forget afterwards, but it was not a very beloved team. Beforehands. But then it all somehow clicked and everything went our way. It was a different game back then. Another thing that made it special for me was that a lot of palyers on the team were or had been playing for my personal favourite club. And then there’s the added tragedy of Kim Vilfort, who scored the second goal in the final. He had to rush home because his young daughter was sick with cancer. She asked him to go back and play the tournament, he came back and scored in the penalthy shootout in the semifinal and then the goat that closed the final. And his daughter passed away a matter of weeks later. I still remember when I found video of the games with English commentator and when Vilfort scored his penalty the speaker went WHAT A MAN. And he is. One of my favourite players of all time, a fantastic human being and a great player. I can’t even imagne what it must have been like. One of the worst things that can happen to you as a human and then the unfathomable success of the tournament. And a whole country cheering for you. Must have been insane.
There have been other big surprises in soccerballsports history, but nothing like that will ever happen again. Even though right now we have a team good enough to almost make it to the final of a much harder European Championship. More teams in the tournament and stronger teams. But you will never have those circumstances again. And you will never have the first time again, the complete and utter shock and disbelief and exposive joy. It’s a different world now.
I have told the story before about how I was sitting on the floor in our living room watching the game and both time we scored I jumped up and hit my head on the lamp hanging from the ceiling. And later on I won some competition by writing about that, I forget what i won. Some candy or something.
Anyway. i am sure everyone has stopped reading 10 minutes ago. I just wanted to take the time to let myself remember it all again. I was 14 and I loved balls, the sport, and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Imagine loving something and then having it succeed spectacularly despite all odds against it. It’s not like the European balls championship matters. But then, lots of things that don’t matter are things that matter most to us.
And these days a lot of things that matter are really grim. So. Take joy where you can find it. I still get a big fat smile on my face when I go to the youtubes and look at clips from that tournament. I might have the panini stickers album lying around in some box somewhere. The 90s were the besties and I will never forget the summer of 92.
