Good goat times today. The sun came back! And we got a lovely day around 21C/70F. Not super hot, but a lovely, warm late-summer day. Very good. Lots of sitting around in the sun. I brought a bouquet of greens for the goats in the morning, and just as they were digging in on the pallet mountain, a daycare group came to the fence to see the goats. So I had to fetch some greens and bring them over and put them in the fence so a couple of the goats would go over and eat their greens there and the humankids got to spend some time with them close by. “Thank you” their adult said. Maybe I should have asked if I could come home with them for soup in return. Ah well, too hot for soup today I guess.
Looks like we’ll be getting a couple more sunnday days, so that’s good. Summer is hanging on by the nails.

Not just kids visiting today, also this elderly couple. I think I mentioned them on Friday when they also visited us and I talked a little with them? In any case, they are very nice. I was sitting on the pallet mountain giving cuddles to Sassy who was really loving it, so I didn’t head over to say hi to the humans, but we did talk a little over the distance. Mia however walked over to them so they could pet her. Especially teh husband (if they were married, that is). I got the feeling that he may have been a little cognitively impaired. It was the wife doing most of the talking and he’d sort of repeat phrases she said. But it was very sweet how Mia went over and he seemed to really like petting her.
It’s always nice when people have good experiences with the goats, whether it’s little kids or elderly people, or anywhere in between. Heck, that’s whaT I’m doing basically. I’m handicapped, with a bunch of mental issues. Being with goats, and animals in general, is just really good for people, especially people suffering from health issues or mental issues. That’s my theory anyway and I’m sticking to it.
Now, stay tuned for my theory about brontosauruses.

Good goat times today. A gorgeous, sunny days. Upwards of 24C/75F. I did not think we’d have more days like this. I am thankful for it! So lovely. Now you’d think on a day like that it would be all lazy and nothing happening. But someone forgot to tell that to Sassy. She was in rare form today. It started with her doing the flehmen lip thing. She had just dropped a berry load, so I figured she’d caught a whiff of it and that was the reason she was doing it. I believe it’s often a response to smell? But maybe there was more to it. Because later on she started really acting up. She was humping Lily. Big time. It looked pretty redunk, she was practically riding around on Lily’s back, with her tongue poking out of her mouth. Sheesh, get a room! And then the headbutting started. She was butting heads with Lily, but mostly Nuller. And they went at it. And at it. And around and around. Fiercely and for ages. It so happened that the elderly couple I mentioned last time, they came by just as this was going on. So they got quite a show. And I told them a little about why the goats were doing this and what it all meant. And the lady asked if they weren’t baby goats? No no, just dwarf goats. Even Sky isn’t a kid.
Anyway, that was quite the happenstance. I actually started worrying a little, not about the headbutting but just about the all that exertion in the heat. Sassy was only taking occasonal breaks to start thrashing around plants and sticks. She really had a bee in her bonnet today. I went and got a fresh bucket of water, second of the day. And she drank about half a bucket (it seemed) and then went back to butting heads with Nuller. When they finally calmed down I sat down with her. She was panting so hard, practically hyperventilating. So I sat there and gave her some cuddles and made sure Nuller didn’t approach, just to give her the chance to calm down. She sure got her exercise today. And Milo and Sky said “At least she’s leaving US alone for a change!”. Although they did say it in a suspiciously shy, Danish accent so I don’t know, but this isn’t Look Who’s Talking so we’ll let it go.

Another thing that happend today was that Sky escaped. So we no longer have a Sky.
No no, I got her back. She slipped through a week part in the fence. Maybe she just wanted to get away from Sassy’s crazy circus row. I have started regularly taking Sky out of the pen in the morning to give her some special time, and some special treats, without having to worry about the others chasing her. But that’s through the gate. And supervised. She’s not supposed to go out on her own! I did my best to mend the fence and then got her back in the pen. Uncle Spoilsport!

Not just goat fun today. I got to hang out with Nala the barn kitty for a bit too. She was sweet and cuddly. Really enjoyed getting her neck and face nuzzled. When I moved to her belly it took a few seconds then I felt the fangs and claws. Just that subtle “I could hurt you if I wanted to” touch. Fair enough! Sweet cuddles, though.

Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. Up around 22/72 degrees. Might be the last day like that I get with the goats this year. I can feel the weather getting colder, and the forecast says as much. Hopefully we’ll still get some nice, warm fall days. But the really hot summer days are probably over. I can feel the encroaching depression of knowing we’re headnig into 8 months of everything getting colder and darker. I may have complained about the heat once or twice, but believe you me I wish we’d more of it. Sigh. So I tried to enjoy it as much as I could today. Sitting out in the sun with the goats as much as possible. On the bench, on the platforms, on the pallets. Until Mia had had enough and wanted to go sit in the shade of the shelter. Then we sat there. She’s the boss after all.

The pizza guy was on the phone when I opened the door for him today. “My girlfriend says hi!” he said and pointed the phone at me. Haha. I think they know me pretty well at the place I regularly use. I used to use web portal and order from different places through that. But then I found this new place that I prefer and now I order straight from their own website so they don’t have to give a cut to the portal site. And they give free delivery from their own site, so everyone’s a winner.
Especially me, the guy with the pizza.

I heard fleetingly out of the corner of my ear that some international scientist person had stated that out of all the countries in the world, Denmark was the one that had handled the pandemic the best.
Now I don’t know if that’s accurate, and you’ll always have things that are debateable. Certainly there are people here who aren’t happy with how it’s gone. We had a little… mink thing.. that was rather disastrous. But all in all I can’t think of any country I’d swap places with during this.
Now I’m not saying that to brag or anything. Part of being the best in the world is also being humble and only occasionaly point out on Facebook that you’re the best, humbly.
No I just wanted to mention that we have sceptics in Denmark too. People who are against the vaccine and all that. And one o the persons who think they know better than science is a young lady. I believe she started out as a singer, but now she’s more of a reality star or blogger or influencer or somthing like that. But the thing that really baffles me is, she famously changed her name. She put a Z in her name. Because.. because numerologi. Apparently putting a Z in her name was neccesary for her to become fulfilled and succesful. And it just, it just says so much about humanity, that a person who thinks putting an extra letter in her name will change her destiny, that that person also thinks she should give medical advice and question the science during a global pandemic. Can you imagine basing your health care choices around the opinions of a reality star who thinks the number of letters in her name changes her chances of succes?
Maybe if we changed the pandemic to CovidZ it kill less people?
Anyway, I just wanted to rant about that on the internet. Now look. I don’t know anything about numerology. Other than that it’s mumbo jumbo and wrong. No offense, if you believe in it. Humanity as a hole is pretty much wrecked because of the things humans believe in, I guess it’s just in our nature. Maybe we should change to humanitzy.

An other thing to add to the list of stuff that scares Milo: My backpack.
The other day I picked it up when it was time to leave and I waved it at him and he was like nope, I’m outta here.
It’s not a problem when it’s sitting in the hayholder where I put it in the morning. Then he likes to try to get into it and steal treats. But I guess when I pick it up it looks too much like a ghost or whatever. He’s a goofy kid. He likes to pretend he’s a big tough guy, I mean he IS the oldest male in the flock, but as soon as I pick up a brush he’s all nope. And as soon as Sassy looks hi sway he’s like nope. He’s a funny cat.

I sleep when the need arises. I dream when there’s nowhere else to go. You can’t escape your self. You can’t outrun your past, you can’t catch up to you future. You’re spinning in circles, pining for the fjords. On top of the world ma, dizzying heights below the surface. Running water, crawling bugs, walking backwards, a slight inconvenience, an impolite ransacking without a warrant, police state of mine. Keep it going, free the avalanche, rock the boat. Come come on, where are you goin with this? What are you running to and from. Lasse had a little lamb and everywhere Lasse went the butcher was sure to go.
Szhirley, you can’t be serious.

Good goat times today. A grey day with sporadic rain showers. I miss summer already. Sigh. Back to my old fashion style. Mud McMuddypants. Although now it’s starting to pay off that the playground staff took my pavement tiles and put them down on the mud path. Much nicer to walk on them. Still, the goats are never happy when the ground is wet and muddy. Especially Sassy. Her old-lady hooves are too fancy for that stuff. I almost thought she might be sick, but no she was just being a little gloomy. The others will usually deal with it for treats. Sassy, not so much. Good thing Muddypants Delivery Service goes right to the front door. Don’t forget to tip your delivery person! Oh wait, this is Denmark. We don’t do tipping. Better not try to tip the goats over either.
Good to hang with the goats. Just when I was leaving an elderly couple came to the fence and said hi to the goats, and me. They seemed very nice and we talked a little and wished eachother a happy weekend. Lasse’s tip of the day: be nice to people, and they just might be nice to you.

There was a kindergarten/daycare group of kids visiting the goats on Friday. After they’d had a bit of time with the goats, their adult said “okay we have to go back for soup now”. And I was sorely tempted to squat down and put on a kid voice and say “okay miss, I’m ready to go”. Of course I would have had to take the goats with me and that probably would have given me away. Still, I could go for soup.

Magnethe visited me in my dreams last night. I’m always happy to see old goat friends. Magnethe was the first goat kid I ever met. One of the biggest ‘aha’ moments of my life. Arriving at the playground and seeing that little brown furball in the door of the train cart / barn. I had no idea her mama Mathilde was pregnant. Once you’ve experienced the joys of goat kids there is no going back. We had many goat years together, befoer Mio’s family line took over.
