Good goat times today. Managed to drag myself out. The depression has been pretty bad lately, I just wanted to go back to bed and not face the world. But I know it’s always worth it to see the goats. And it was. Of course. I always feel best there.
A warm day, summerly in the sun. But with occasional rain showers. Made for some funny scenes when the goats were up on the pallet mountain and then the drops started falling and they all scattered and ran for shelter. And then the rain would pass in a few minutes and the goats would come out, like nuclear war survivors from their fallout shelters.
Funniest was when Mia, Milo and Sky headed for the goat house, but I went and sat down in my groove next to the shelter. When Mia saw that I hadn’t followed them to the house, she looked at me for a second like “Dang it” then she quickly tiptoed out in the rain and over to the shelter. And chased Sassy, Lily and Nuller out of there. They then went to the goat house, which meant Milo and Sky had to clear out of there and went to join Mia and me in the shelter. Musical goat chairs. But mostly it was sunny and lovely. ItS always better with goats.

I’m really not interested in the olympics. This whole thing about nations competing.. I don’t like it. It’s 2020, wait it’s 2021. Wait what year is it? Anyway, how the fork come humanity is still dividing itself like this. What even are countries? Why do we divide ourselves with religion and race and colour and shrty made-up lines on maps. Drawn by blood and hostility and hatred and inequality. I know some people, especially Americans, are very proud of their country. And hey I love Denmark. I’m proud to be Danish . But I don’t think Danish peiople are better than others, other than Swedish people (sorry running joke, DANSKJAVLA). But yeah. The [my country] First thing is the very worst of humanity condensed into a racist slogan. If you think people born in your country deserve better lives than people born in other countries, stop and think about why that is. I still remember an ex-friend on here, in one of the hurricane flood catastrophies, proclaiming that they hope ressources and aid wasn’t wasted on the ‘illegals’. The mega-churches not letting in the refugees. It still kills me that a lot of christians don’t understand the good samaritan. We are all divided so much that there’s really not hope for humanity. We’ll never get along. I didn’t get my student loan debt removed? Then you shouldn’t either! Because life is a competition and I can’t win unless you lose. My gold medla means nothing if I’m not standing on the highest podium place looking at the silver and bronze medals below me. What’s the point in being good and going to heaven if I don’t know that there are people burning in hell? You can’t let the riff-raff into heaven. We need a touch of class. Basil the god hath spoketh.
I wish we could see what the world would have been like if we’d all started and remained together. If humanity was united. We’d probably still find ways to muck it all up. But it would be intereseting to see how it would go if we could reset things from now. But people don’t want to wear a mask, people don’t believe the climate is changing even while oceans burn, corporations want to make people work their ashes off 7 days a week, even though a 4 day work week would probably be better for eveyone. Billionaires want to fly space dillerse into the atmosphere and then thank the workers who have to pee in bottles because they aren’t allowed to leave the assembly lines.
Welcome to the world, people are garbage.
Imagine if we dedicated ourselves to being better, instead of to being better than others.
Imagine all the forking people.

And now, the gold medal winner and undefeated reigning champion of my heart…. Mia T Goat.
Notice how she’s got that whole board space behind her but she still sits with her leg over the side. Good thing there aren’t crocodiles in that grass river.

Good goat times today. Comfortably warm, around 21C/70F. Cloudyhere and there, but lots of sunshine too. I brought a nice big green buffet for the goats, which they seemed to appreciate. Later on they were all quite tired and sat around half-snoring, barely even bothering to chew their cud. It’s a hard life.
I did some hard labour. That platform that I’ve been trying to stabilize, it’sbeen pretty stable. But I thought it could be better. I’d been toying with the idea of moving the big rock again. The one that I can barely budge even when using all my brute stength. Well I did manage to budge it, roll it around a bit and got it situated nicely so the platform is now stuck well between two rocks. Pretty good. It can’t really be moved from side to side anymore. Although it can still be pushed up, because it”s not nailed down at one end.
Oh and the reason I kept having to try to stabilize it is because the goats love rubbing up against the side of it when they walk by it. The push their whole body against it for a all-over scratch. But hopefully now it will stay in place. We’ll see.
It’s kinda nice rolling that big rock around actually. I’ll be feeling my muscles tomorrow. But there’s something satisfying about it. Mayeb it tickles the ..whatsitcalled. Cultural memory. The..species dna.. _I don’t know. Anyway, maybe it reminds me of my forefather neanderthals pushing rocks around. Or vikings building walls of rocks to keep the jætter out. Words flail me. Anyway, let’s rock.

Making sure Sky gets a share of the green buffet. She gets her own serving so she doesn’t have to worry about the others chasing her away.

Mia and Milo posing on the now stable (hopefully) platform. The rock under where Milo is standing is the one I moved. It may not look huge, but I tell you. I can’t lift it off the ground. At this point I was still rolling it around and trying to get various pieces of blocks and wood to come together to keep the platform from wobbling and things from falling. And also I had to take breaks to feed the poor starving goats.

Had a weird dream last night. It was a family christmas, but Lady Gaga was invited. And for some reason she was super angry at me. I think I had made a comment about one of her movies being really bad? I had only been joking, but she’d taken it seriously. Also I feel like that whole thing is something I vaguely remember from a previous dream, but I’m not sure if I’m right about that. But anyway, it was a really awkward christmas dinner with everyone being happy and pretending nothing was wrong, meanwhilst Lady Gaga was just pissed off at me. Haha. And then I went outside, and I wanted to build a snowman with a “I’m sorry” sign to show her that well I was sorry. But there wasn’t enough snow to build a proper size snowman so I ended up with a tiny snowman. But then one by one memebers of my family came out and we started getting a really nice and big snowman made. I don’t think we got a sign done but then Lady Gaga came out and I’m pretty sure she forgave me, just before I woke up.
So that. ‘s a thing. I’m not sure why Lady Gaga showed up in my dream. I think she was actually dating my brother in the dream and that’s why she was at the family christmas, but I’m not sure about that. I also think she did the cooking for the dinner and wouldn’t let me have any because she was mad at me.
Curious.

Good goat times today. I managed to drag myself out of the trash compactor and get going.
A hot one. Upwards of 24C/75F. But with a harsh humid air that made it feel much hotter. Lots of panting today. The goats too. Phew. Every time they ran around for a bit they’d stop and pant. Probably the last hot day, though. Colder weather coming in. I just want a fresh 22/71 with a light breeze, is that too much to ask for?
Well, it was good to be with the goats again. And I also got to see Ophelia. For the first time in a long time, which she also remarked upon. And we had a good, long chat. Much longer than I usually have with humanpeoples. Even if it was all simple goat stuff we talked about. Like about when Mia was sick. Apparently it was a weekend volunteer who found her and called the vet. She couldn’t get through to their regular vet and another one didn’t handle goats and told her to google ith? Wtf. She ended up getting a hold of one that had to come in from quite a ways away. Apparently it ended up being pretty expensive. But I’m really glad she did it. I’m thanful she’s better now.
We also talked about Milo’s bandit reputation haha. And she went and got hay for the goats, and made sure to put some out in the shelter too so Sky could get some without having to fight for it at the hayholders. I’m glad Ophelia looks out for Sky too.
So that was nice. And then home for a cold shower and I may partake in some iced creamery soon.

And I met this sweet lady too. Nala the barn kitty. The humid heat seemed to be getting to her too, she was more interested in lounging around than hunting rats. At least for the moment.

27/7 2021

Despite the brutal humid hotness, I did do some exterior decorating. I found this wooden board in the goat pen. It reminded me of back at the old playground. At one point we got some boards like that. And the goats, especially Palle, enjoyed jumped around on them and jumping off them. I thought maybe this would work for that too, so I put it up on the rocks as seen here. It didn’t really work as I hoped, though. Maybe these goaties just aren’t as jump-happy. It was also too slippery because it had rained overnight. But even when it dried out in the sun, it still seemed too slippery. At least I got some cute bambi scenes of Milo and Sky sliding on it.
On the picture it’s Nuller striking a pose halfway up it.

27/7 2021

Well as I mentioned in the last post, keeping the board up against the rocks as a jumping pad didn’t really work. So after some experimentation this is how I ended up using it. I put it on one of the pallets on the pallet mountain. It sits well there, it’s a lot more stable and safe than the pallets. And I’m not sure how well you can see it, but I actually got a second board. This one was next to the goat pen but I managed to drag it over the fence and then I put that on another of the pallets. So now they are two nice, stable platforms on top of the pallets. I quite like it. Good for the goats to sit and stand on. Of course, i have no idea if the playground staff had any plans for those boards, so I may end up finding them gone at some point. But I hope they can stay.

Good goat times today. Considerably colder all of a sudden. Around 15C/60F and a rainy morning. Looks like summer is over for a while.
Some amusing stuff today. I discovered a new thing that Milo is scared of. My jacket. I wore it for the first time in months probably. But since the rain had stopped when I got to the goats, I took it off. And when I did I sort of waved it a little at Milo. And he bleated and ran away like I’d shown him a brush. Oh dear. Haha. I got him back with a treat, but I wanted to check if he really was scared of my jacket or if it had been something else. So I picked up my jacket again. And yeah, he bleated at it and rain out of the house and stood on the platform and pooped. I scared the poop out of him again. Silly boy!
And then later, Lily treated me to a doulbe toot salute. She sneezed and farted at the same time. Haha. That does not happen often, at least not in a clearly audible way. Maybe the third or fourth time I’ve ever seen a goat do it. Pretty hilarious. And half a minute later she was pooping. Thankfully she’d gotten off the bench before she started that.
So an amusing day. Got to talk a little with Ophelia again too, so that was nice as well. And when the sun was out it was quite lovely.

Slept for a long long time. Had a bunch of wacky dreams. Lot of them were quite dark and disturbing, but I don’t mind that. My favourite though, was the dream where Esther the wonder pig moved into my house! And she had piglets. Suddenly I had a house full of little piglets, and it was as wonderful as it sounds.
Just hope the goats don’t find out I dream-cheated on them.
