Good goat times today. Our sunny streak continues. Still very cold in the mornings, below freezing at night. But sunny days are always good. We had a bunch of visitors too, out enjoying the good weather and seeing the goats. Remember I mentioned a little girl called Emma who was running awy from her caretakers? She was there today. And she’s been there a couple of other times. And every time I eventually hear one of the grownups calling out “No, Emma, come back!”. Haha. She likes to try to run off.
We had another really sweet visitor that I think some of you will love, but I’ll tell you about that later, with photographic accompany.
Other than that, lots of debarking branches and lots of lounging in the sun. The playground staff has been clearing out some of the pile branch. It was getting really big and unwieldy, so it’s probably good that they’ve been cleaning it up. I wonder if they’ll end up taking it all away? I hope not. It’s nice to have SOME branches for the goats to nibble on and sharpen their horns on. But it’s nice to have some space cleared. And I think they put in a new pallet or two. Less branches, more pallets. Good for the goats to climb around on. And today Mia’s favourite place to relax was on the highest pallet. I tried a couple of time to get her to come over and sit on the bench with me, but no dice. She wanted to sit on the pallets. Probably because that was the perfect place for maximum sunshine. Like sitting on top of a mountain. So I went and sat with her there, even though it’s not very comfortable, at least for me. But I’ll never get tired of sitting in the sun and listening to Mia’s snoring with her head againt me. Perfect.

Here’s our little visitor today. Little kitty! We’ve had cats visiting before, but they usually run away immediately. This one was super friendly. It came over to me and let me pet it. I understand why you cat people love them. Of course goats are my great love. But there’s something super sweet and appealing about such a soft, little sweetheart. It was prettty small, I don’t know if it qualifies as a kitten or just a young cat.
The goats were not impressed, but not really too bothered either.
And hey, it just occured to me that I had that dream about cats turning into tigers and lions. I wonder if I summoned this ferocious beast…

Sorry, but at least it’s a change from spamming goat photos.

Hah, this cracks me up. Maybe I should be making a disgruntled kitten meme.
The kitten was actually very happy and friendly. At one point I was rubbing its tummy and it was doing that thing when the cat is lying on its back and sort of scrunching up with it’s paws. I wasn’t sure if it was going to try to scratch or bite me, but no it seemed to enjoy it. It was sooo soft. Soft kitty, warm kitty.

I can’t post on Mia’s page anymore. It wants me to do the publishing authorisation thing, and now it watns me to turn on location services on my mobile device, and I don’t have a mobile device so..
I don’t know if i’ll be able to fix this.
9/3 2021

So, this is probably a dumb question but… do smart phones use the internet? Like, if I get a smart phone do I have to connect to an The Internet? Does it work over phone…stuff? If I get a cheap smartphone and put in my sim card from my dumb phone will that just work? Will I be able to install the fb app on smartphone and verify my location and then never use the smartphone again.
Had a chat with fb support and he ended it with thanking me for remaining calm. Haha. I bet they get tons of abuse when they can’t fix peoples problems.

Hey, do any of you out there have an old used smart phone or device that you don’t use and that has no plan attached or anything and that you’d want to give to me? Do things like that even exist? Why can’t it be the 90s, everything was better then.
I’m looking at phones but it’s all new and smart and expensive and with plans attached and I just need something for 5 minutes every once in a while. GRumble. Anyone? I’ll reimburse your postage plust a little extra. Just needs to be able to install the fb app and take a sim card. I guess. Sigh.

An Android phone can use the fb mobile app right?
Now I know what my dad feels like when he can’t get the printer to print right or stuff like that. Haha. I need a son to do tech support for me!

Oh yeah i forgot I uploaded another goatlog earlier. Before everything imploded. It’ll probably be up to a week or more before I can post on Mia’s page. Assuming I get it fixed.

Well I got my new phone!
I unpacked it and couldn’t figure out how to open it up to put the battery in so I threw it in the trash and I’m ragequitting facebok.
Okay, the last part is a lie. For a phone designed for elderly and impaired people I wish it just had a big button that says OPEN on it. Haha. I’ll have to look at it later. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe i’ll have a look in the manual. I don’t want to break the thing apart.
And hopefully I can get the fb app to work and it can locate my geographical location, geographically. And then I can beam back to Mars and stop pretending i’m located on Earth!
11/3 2021

Apparently it can days for the geographic validation to go through on the fb. That’s not good. I cannot be using the phone for general facebooking. I was hoping I could just log in and it would see where I was and that would be it. I may have to take some days off facebook and just leave it on my phone until it validates. Or something. Grrurgh. I may also just dump Mia’s page. I started a new one already, I can just use that. I’d just have to make sure it doesn’t get popular hah. What a mess.

BREAKING NEWS
I managed to open my phone and put the battery in. I am a tech guru, bow down before me!
I’m going to let it charge fully before I start messing with it. I may even wait ill tomorrow because I just.. can’t. You know? Disappointment is always inevitable so better postpone it #PositiveAffirmationalInspiration

Meanwhile, here’s a little funny goat video in case you’re missing those. I threw a pasta wheel for Milo, but accidentally hit him in the head. Good thing he has horns. And that it wasn’t a tomato.

Great. Just great. Managed to get on fb on my phone. With a lot of trouble. But it won’t receive the confirmation code that fb says it sent to my mobile device. And I think it’s because the phone has the fb lite app. Of course I had to go and get the oldfolks phone that runs a proprietary OS that isn’t android or… the other one. FB said it needed android or .. the other one. So that means.. I wasted my money and time and effort.
Now I have to see if I can return the phone and get some money back, and deal with people in the process. Maybe I can swap it for an android device, but I’m probably not that lucky. So it’ll be another week before I get stuff fixed, if I do at all.
I am very tired of it all. Stressed and depressed.

Spent about 26ish hours in bed. Just because of the sadness and depression. I love my dreams when I sleep that much. But I know it’s not very productive to escape reality. Probably doesn’t work well in the long term. I feel worst about not seeing the goats. Gotta do better for them.
Thank you all for all the love you show me, and them.

Happy to see Jason Sudekis getting a golden globe for Ted Lasso. I can’t think of anything more deserved, except for when Ted Cruzy mistook a beehive for a glory hole.
Oh wait, I think that just happened in my dream last night.
Anyway, if you still haven’t Ted Lassoed then I highly recommend you Ted Lasso. And happy to see Jason get it, apparently he’s going through some personal stuff, all the best to him.

Good goat times today. Finally back out where I belong. And a beautiful day. Lots and lots of sunshine. Still cold, though. Only barely above freezing in the morning. At times I regretted only having a t -shirt under the coat. But it was good to have some sun nonetheless. There were several groups of visiting kids when I arrived in the morning. Gleefully watching the goats. They got a bit of a show when Milo decided to mount Sky. Milo, not in front of the children! Oh dear. Sky was very vocal today too. She’s always chatty, but today even more so. Starting out with her normal bleats but then instead of stopping just going on even louder. She’s so funny. She was trying to go to the milkbar under Mia too at one point. Mia was not amused. Unlike me.
At one point I was standing in the goat house with Mia and over on the bench someone was sitting, I think it was Lily or Sassy. Mia looked over at them and let out kind of a huff and then she slowly, very delibrately, walked from the goat house to the bench and then nudged the one sitting on the bench with her nose and pushed her away. And then she jumped up on the bench and sat down in the sun. Pretty clear who’s the boss in the goat pen.
I went over and sat next to her. Relaxing in the sun with Mia’s head resting on my arm, listening to her little snores. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Aww no… rest in peace Wild Bill the goat. I had some… complicated issues.. with his human, at times. But I never doubted her love of animals, or how important Bill was to her. And I know that pain all too well. Heartbreaking worldstopping ache.
Sad news.

We’ve had a lot of sun this week. That’s probably why I was able to get Danish cucumbers in the supermarket yesterday. Mm yeah. Just the other day I wrote on the twitter how I was looking forward to getting good cucmbers and tomatoes. It will probably be a while before they get really good. But I love semi-local cucumbers and tomatoes. So good. Just don’t tell the goats I’m going to start eating their tomatoes. I’ll have a mutiny on my hooves.

A cat picture just triggered a memory of one of my dreams last night. There were cats… but they turned into tigers and lions.
That’s all I remember. I’m pretty sure there was much more to it, because I remember waking up and thinking about how I had to write about it… but now it’s all gone.. other than little cats turning into big tigers and lions.
