Damn. I hope some day we’ll all be in a little rowboat together. Nothing to fear, nothing to doubt.
With love and sadness for those we have lost.

I was shocked today to find out that our dear friend Tanya Clough has passed away. I knew she was ill but I had no idea it got this bad.
Just want to send my love to her family. She was one of my favourite people on here, one of the special ones in our goat circle. I know she was very loved. I still can’t believe it. It just seems so unfair.
I will miss you, Tanya. Hope you are in a goat place now.

Good goat times today. I was feeling really down because of the sad news yesterday, I realy just wanted to go to bed this morning and sleep all day. But that’s not what Tanya would have wanted. And I know being with the goats is about the only thing that can make me feel better. So I forced myself to go, and I’m glad I did. Being with the goats is always good. I love goats, and goat people.
A nice warm day, and all the usual fun with the crew. Bleats and treats and berries and visitors.
And I finally found dreamcake in the supermarket afterwards, so I’m going to be self-medicating with that for dessert.
Thank you everyone for the comments on the post yesterday. Tanya was loved by a lot of people.

Here’s Sky having some breakfast. I’m really glad the morning guy is mindful of making sure she gets some too. She doesn’t get as much as the others usually, but she gets enough to be well fed enough and happy. She may be small but she’s still pretty chubby. Someone may be giving her extra treats..

I’m about to head to bed, as you can see I’ve had an exhausting day.
Thank you to everyone who leaves comments on my posts. I’m not feeling super talkative right now (for a change) but i appreciate you being in our perfect circle. Don’t know what I’d do without you.

Mia is wise to the fact that I often put foodstuff on the roof of the shelter before handing it out.
Unfortunately the concept of time is a little fuzzy to her, she doesn’t understand the difference between ‘foodstuff before handing it out’ and ’empty container after having handed out the snacks’. Which is why she’s staring down the empty container that used to be full of pumpkin seeds.

Good goat times today. A hot day. Above 20C/68F, haven’t had many days like that yet this year. But it was a humid heat, borderline unpleasant. You could tell too. Sassy took several breaks to go under the goat house and hang out in the cool down there. And we had birds using the goats’ waterbucket as a birdbath. And of course lots of sitting around. The goats always sit down lazily when the sun shines, but you could tell today that they were panting in the heat. Mia almost shivering.
It started raining when I was on my way home. It’s been very dry so I think the rain is a good thing. Despite what the goats tell ya.
Lots of cuddles and treats and bleats, the good stuff.

Sassy keeping cool under the house. I haven’t seen her going under there for a long long time. It’s usually Sky’s safe spot.

I dreamt about dreamcake. I’m not sure if that’s dream inception or cake inception. Anyway, the cake is real.

Shoutout to my dad for bringing me a dreamcake. He was doing some other errands and was good enough, after some mishaps, to get sme a dreamcake. I exercised hard today and recorded a new record low weight for many years, so I decided I deserved more cake. Always more cake.

It always amuses me when they get in this position, down on their front knees with their rears up in the air. It often happens when they’re trying to dig into my pockets when I’m sitting on the ground. Here’s Milo trying to get to the last crumbs in the pizza box.

Good goat times today. It was a lovely, warm day. The weather forecast says colder days ahead but today did get upwards of the 20C/77F range and that was quite something. Lots of lazy lounging about. Also lots of exasperated sighs and trying to chase Milo away from thecamera. And Mia continously not wanting to sit where I wanted her to sit. It’s almost like goats don’t know how to take direction, whodathunk. But it felt like a summer’s day and that was very nice.
I’m pretty worn down though. Not sure if it was the warmth or lack of sleep and breakfast but I felt pretty drained. I think my blood pressure may have dipped because I keep getting blurred vision when I get up after sitting or when I lean down. Almost to the point where it felt like I might black out. And the walk home was a zombie march of no energy and bac back pain. And I threw up a little when I got home. Except there wasn’t reallya nything to throw up, other than that one peanut I ate because I thought that might give me a little extra energy…
Still feeling pretty weak, but I’m gonna grab a bite and just relax and I’ll be fine. That’s what you get for chasing Milo around on an empty stomach.

If I’m gonna pass out this would be a good place to do it.
Feeling considerably better after eating some foods. Gotta remember to give myself treats too.

Bit of a goat butt parade.
Btw I heard a kid walking by (lots of kids going by on the path down past the goat pen, I think today may have been some kind of exercise day) I heard her say that ‘the big white goat’ was a boy. And she was quite insisting on it. Not sure what Mia would say to that…

I’m not sure what happened to Sky here, but she let out one of those wails that means something is wrong and it’s no fun. She may have got her leg stuck between one of the rocks while one o the others were trying to gore her. I hate hearing that kind of wail. Thankfully she was okay, I went off to check on her of course.

fyi there are goats in the latest episodes of Barry. So if you didn’t believe me when I said it was a great show, well that’ll teach you to doubt my supreme wisdom.
Wait, did I have breakfast today?

Well, I took a little trip to my parents place. Not for a good reason, unfortunately. My dad called me and told me that their computer kept saying they had a virus. Oh dear. So off I went. As I suspected there was no actual virus, just some mal-advertisement thing that says ‘you have virus, click here to scan and then pay us to fix it’. I did a virus scan which came up clean and then i did my best to get rid of it. But every dang time I got up to leave and told my dad to just check that it was fine, the darn thing came up again. so that was a fun couple of hours working on a computer not set up to my visual problems. In the end I just had to give up and tell my dad not to click on any of it, just close it if it came up again. i’m going to make a clean firefox portable install and hopefully that will stop it. My mom’s firefox apparently does not do it.
Of course i missed the bus there by 30 seconds so I got a 40ish minute walk. And of course i left my jacket at home and of course it started to rain. Then a long walk home. And then I went to do some shopping and brought a couple of bags of empty bottles. And ofcourse th the bottle machine was out of order, again. So I got to drag the bags around the store with me. I wanted to buy some dream cake to make myself feel better, but there was nothing in the baked goods dept. And in the bakery outside there was a long queue and there was also a long queue at the service place where I had to pick up a postal package. So I gave up on the dream cake and dragged my empty bottels home and this was not how I had planned to spend my day.
I’m feeling a bit cranky. Just tired and frustrated. Modern life is rubbish.

There’s a lot to be angry about. I wonder if the world is ever going to be better. It doesn’t seem like people want to do what it takes, and it’s not like you could get everyone to agree on what to do anyway. We’re all sinking in the quicksand while arguing if we should grab the lifeline or if the lifeline is a trick from the lizard people or if the quicksand is just fake news and we can pray it away. I don’t think the world is going to be okay. I don’t even think I’m going to be okay.
Anyway, there’s a lot to be angry about.
