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.

Good goat times today. A rainy morning. But luckily it cleared up pretty much right as a I got to the goat pen. So i got some quite nice time in sunshine with the goaties. After that I had to go do tech support for my parents. My dad had somehow managed to complete wreck his browser. Like, the exe file was 12 kb big. Don’t ask me how that happened. Luckily I could fix it by copying the exe file from my mother’s browser. I got them on seperate portable browsers, for just this kind of thing.
Then a walk home in minor rain. And then I made the mistake of leaving my jacket at home when I went shopping. And the rain started coming down pretty hard. But it’s alright. I like getting soaked as long as it’ not too cold.
All in a day’s work, and play.

Good goat times today. Managed to get out, despite not feeling well. Had to spend some time in the toilet first. I know, it’s cuter when it’s the goats doing it. And I felt like I might have to throw up. But I decided to get out anyway, and thankfully I felt pretty ok. Just happy to be with the goats. Mia managed to pull the treatbag out of my pocket at one point. Sending pasta and peanut flying around the goat house. Oh boy. I tried to recover as much of it as I could, but most of it ended up being crunched by happy goaties. Grr. Well, maybe I’ll try that tactic with the pizza guy next time…
I’m still feeling a bit wonky. I feel like I need to get something to eat, but also like I might hurl it if I do. So that’s fun. We’ll see how it goes.

That thing when you’re going grocery shopping and you have to return some bottles and the lady in front of you at the recycling machine has two big garbage bags full of small bottles. Sigh. And all you an do is wait. Silently wait. Wait for the machine to inevitably break down.
That’s always fun!
And then, believe it or not, I ended up behind the same lady when I was at the cash register. And the cashier was someone who seemed very new at the job and was working very slowly. Super! I ended up spending twice as much time standing in line as I did actually getting the groceries I needed.
It’s times like that it’s good to remind yourself that you’re lucky you can just go down and buy groceries without bombs falling around your ears or tornadoes or murderous heatwaves or christmas carollers.
Still, if you have a million bottles to return maybe split it into a couple of goes?
Oh and I’ve now had something to eat and so far I haven’t thrown up. So far so good.

Sky may be the littlest but she’s been feisty this week. Knocking heads with practically everyone. Even Sassy, whomst she normally runs away from immediately. And even Mia, whomst she’s usually very good friends with. Here it’s Nuller trying to hold his own against the little gladiator.

I’ve been trying for a few days to come up with something to say about what’s going on in Afghanistan. But words always fall short. Obviously it doesn’t matter what I have to say about it anyway.
But it occured to me that I do have something I can say. I can tell you about Abdul. A kid I got to know at the old playground. I’m not sure how old he was, 10ish maybe? He was at the playground a lot back in 2013-14. His family were refugees from Afghanistan. He was a really sweet boy. A good kid. You know sometimes you just feel like you can tell if a kid is good or bad? There were some kids were I got the feeling that when left alone with the animals they might tease them. Abdul was a good boy. Super sweet and friendly. Always good to the animals, always eager to help with them and learn about them. He especially liked the goats, and he would often come and spend time with me in the goat pen. Sometimes I got the feeling he looked up to me a bit, which was super weird because why would anyone look up to a moron like me? But maybe it’s because I’m not like most of the other grownups, I don’t run around in a hurry, I don’t boss them around. I’m better at listening than talking. I think some kids might appreciate that. But what do I know. In any case, he became sort of a little junior goat herder. He told me he loved animals, but they couldn’t have any where he lived now. I heard that from several kids over the years. They loved animals but lived in places where they couldn’t have any. And Abdul especially loved goats. He told me that his family had had goats back in Afghanistan. But at some point they had to let them go. I guess things became so bad that they couldn’t afford them anymore. That was the only time I really saw Abdul being sad. He was always happy and smiling, only when he talked about his family’s goats I could tell there was sadness in him too. I can’t imagine what it’s like being a kid going through all that kind of stuff. Whenever I hear people with opinions like [my country} First, I can’t help thinking of all the people you’re excluding. The people suffering from incredible oppression, hunger, persecution, war. If you’re looking at what’s going on in Afghanistan and you’re worrying most about what effect it will have on your country, Then maybe you should read your bible again or something. The refugees you don’t want, those are kids like Abdul.
And hey, I don’t have the answers to anything. What do I know about anything. I have been getting more and more depressed about the world and humanity and religion lately. I don’t know how to fix anything. I guess there is no way to fix it. Which is really sad. But I hope Abdul is doing okay. He must be close to grown up now. Maybe he can get a goat farm in the country some day. Imagine all the people.
