Good goat times today. We got up to 20C/68F. And according to the forecast that’s the last time we’ll get there in a while. May be the last time this year. We’ll see. The grass was wet, we had more rain and thunder last night. But it was nice and sunny today. Out to the greens with the goats. A bunch of kids came to say hello. Asked questions and petted the goats. They were quite amused when I told them that Mia was about to turn 7. That was older than the kids, a couple of them at least. They were 5. And a half. Important detail. Met Anne as well, haven’t seen her in a long, long time. Almost wondered if she’d stopped. But I guess she’s just been at work later in the day, after I’ve gone home. I think I know why she was there early today, but I’ll show you that later.

Here’s why I think Anne was back / in early. The horses came back from vacation today.

Hey look! We got mugshots!
Haha. Well, that’s nice. I wonder how long they’ll last there. But it’s handy for people to see the names. And hey, it looks like they’ve gone with ‘our’ names! When the newbies arrived I kept asking Alice over and over “have they got names yet?”. Then we ended up just naming them on Mia’s page. And I stopped asking. I was wondering if they’d been given ‘official’ names at the playground. It would be a little messy if they had actual names that were different from our names. I’ve been a little vary when people ask what the newbies are called. Should I give them our names, when I don’t know if they might have actual different names? But No worries now. Except they’re spelling Nuller like Fnuller. I wonder if I’ve heard it wrong. Or if the F is supposed to be silent. Haha. Well, doesn’t matter. We’ll pretend the F is silent. They also spelled Lily as ‘Lilly’. But I guess that can be spelled either way so that’s fine. And they spelled Sky like ‘Sky’. which is nice, I haven’t seen it in writing before. It could have been Skye. But anyway, what’s in a name? A goat berry would still smell as sweet.

Here are the mugshots. I don’t know if you normies can even see them properly and read the text. Maybe I’ll try getting better shots of them next time.

Oh well. You didn’t just sell your soul for abortion and guns and bible. You also sold the world and the animals, but it’s fine. Hibernating bears deerve to be shot in the face, elephants deserve to be harvested for ivory. Endangered animals are sluts that let you murder them and pose for photos when you’re famous. Bang bang blame blame.
It’s like how seeing the dog get shot in the movies is always worse. I understand Republicans don’t care about brown people. Poor people. Women. But I don’t understand why you don’t care about animals. Supporting a president that makes the Environmental Protection Agency a joke, a force AGAINST the enyironment? Blabla. I’m sure Obama did shit that was bad for nature too. But if you don’t think Trump is a disaster for the environment then you’re a fucking moron. He values money and fame more than people, you think he even spares a thought for animals? It was kind of a joke how he was the first president without a dog, but yeah that joke isn’t funny anymore. The only reason you can’t find a Trump offspring posing with a murdered goat is because goats aren’t rare enough.

Good goat times today. A special day today. It’s Mia’s birthday ! I had to go back and check my records, because I think I may have said it was the 15th in the past. But it’s definitely August 14th. So a big happy 7th birthday ot my princess Mia!
I brought watermelons, as I like to do when celebrating with the goats. It hasn’t always been a big hit, so today I thought I’d go and buy the melons on the actual day of, so I could be sure they’re fresh. Went to the store at opening hour. Saw the watermelon, then saw a honey dewmelon next to it. Could not resist. Had to get them both. Forgot to facture into the equation that I had to walk an hour along the highway with two melons in my backpack. That wasn’t fun for my back… but I survived. And the goats enjoyed the melons, at least at first. They only finished about half of if, but the rest can be nighttime snacks for later. I also brought strawberries, which I don’t think they’ve ever had before. I gave Mia one in the morning to test it out. She loved it. Then later, after some greens and the melons, I took the rest out to film her eating them. She didn’t want any. Haha. She did come around when I went back in the pen and started giving them out to everyone. They all enjoyed them in the end, especially Sassy who followed me around and tried to convince me that the strawberry I was about to give to Milo/Sky/Nuller/Lily was actually for her.
Some kids came by too, and they saw the flag I had put up. So they asked if there was a birthday party. And then they sang for Mia. How sweet! And the mugshots are working well, it’s a good thing for visitors to look at and adults can explain about the names to their kids.
So that was great. Happy birthday, Mia!

Happy birthday, princess! Seven years… it feels like forever, in the best way.

Oh, when I said everyone enjoyed the strawberries… yes, that did include me. I managed to pop a few in my mouth while the goats weren’t looking. Yum. I can’t remember the last time I had actual strawberries. I’ve had strawberry flavoured things, but not actual berries. I forgot how it tastes like summer when they melt in your mouth..
Also, I mentioned that Milo was terrified of the flags. Occurs to me that we might want to issue protection flags to visiting kids and ladies in skirts…

Alright, I gotta go to the bed. I am tired. Dragging melons around, partying with goats. And I had to get the birthday party video footage edited so I could upload it to Mia’s page today. Normally it takes me a few days. But I wanted to get it posted on he actual birthday.
I may have to sleep for a long time. Please wake me with pizza and front melons if needed.

Btw, on the day after the seventh birthday of Mia, I should give a shoutout to Jen Diaz whomst was the person that created the Facebook page for Mia. Not everyone realises that, but I had no hand in it. If you know me, you should know that I never think I have anything of worth to offer and no one would ever be interested in anything I say or do or post. But Jen thought that Mia was as cute if not moreso than any other baby animal out there, so why shouldn’t she have a Facebook page of her own? With time it has grown into one of the most important parts of my current life and I have met so many good people through it, it’s been a source of support through hard times and a wonderful place to share the joy of goating and given me an ability to spread some positivity to people around the world, in my own little way. Not saying I make a big difference in the world at large, but the more positivity we send out the more it adds up. And it has added up a ton for me.
Thanks, Jen. I’m glad you did the thing.

Apparently Trump wants to buy Greenland. Apart from the fact that it’s dumb and not legal (shouldn’t stop Trump, am I right? *highfive*) it just makes me laugh. Can you imagine going from being part of Denmark to being part of America? Losing all the great health care and low crime and no guns and happiest country in the world, and going to the crime ridden gunmanic, racist, shithole America? I would feel so bad for Greenland!
(I’m kidding, Americans. You know I love you, as long as you conform to my views and beliefs).

Thank you everyone for participating in the thank you post. It helped steer my mind in a more positive direction. I never see any value in myself, but it feels good to know that there are people out there who get something out of my posts. It’s a reason to stick around.

Good goat times today. Twas a heavy thunder last night, and rain. But by the time I left home the sun was starting to come out. Only a drop here and there. And as the day wore on it got quite lovely. Might have reached the 20C/68F mark. Twenty degrees isn’t bad when it’s sunny out.
When I got to the goats, a group of elderly people were standing at the fence with them. As the goats saw me arrive they bleated and ran to me. Which amused the elders. “You didn’t even have to call for them!”.
We went out to the greens. Entertained the kindergarteners next door who petted and fed the goats through the fence. One kid was calling one of the goats “Mr Goat”, but I’m pretty sure he was talking to Lily. Another kid said “Watch out for the big goat, it’s very dangerous!”. Clearly someone hasn’t been face to face with the real threat. Mr Milo Goat.
But everyone was happy in the greens.

We spent a little time in the horse pen too. The horses are still on vacation. I’m glad the goats only do staycations.

Oh Oh I forgot. I ran into a deer today. I buried it in my back yard.
Just kidding. About running into it. But I saw it. I did. I swear. On my way home. Just walking away from the playground. Something ran across the path in front of me. It wasn’t very big, I thought it was a cat at first. But then out came something bigger. Now, I’m willing to admit that the fact that I’m 90% blind might cause some people to question my story. But what could it have been? It wasn’t a very big one. But bigger than Mia for example. My first thought was GOAT. But nah. It had a long face but the ears were… deerish. I wonder if the smaller animal was its baby? They came out from the parking space area of the residential area (the forbidden zone, you might remember from grandma videos). I wonder if they had been rummaging through people garbage there? Hmm.
I’m pretty sure it’s not the first time I’ve seen a deer. But the last two (I think) times it was fast and unclear in shade and I really wasn’t sure. This was running right across the path in front of me in sunlight. I’m pretty pretty sure.
Beyond the playground there’s a nature park area sort of thing. So I guess there are actually some kind of wildlife there.
Now I wonder if that dog scare we had in the alt pent was actually a deer? Remember that? I thought I saw a dog run along the fence. I still wonder if it was a wild or loose dog, why it didn’t clash with the goats when it managed to open the gate to the alt pen… maybe.. it was a small deer and it wanted to get in to the greens in the alt pen and then ran off when it was face to face with the goats?
I dunno man. But I’m pretty sure I saw a deer today. Unfortunately I had my camera packed in down in my backpack and it was gone before I could even think about getting it out. If only I’d had one of those smart phones with cameras.
Well anyway. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

By the way, in case you were wondering. Yes, we have super violent video games in Denmark too. In fact I believe the Hitman series is made by a Danish developer. If you want to look at whether video games glorify violence, fine. Just remember to go after Hollywood too, and all that. Just don’t bring it into the debate about mass shootings. You’re the only country with this problem
Only in the panhandle. And the walmarts. And nightclubs. And preschools. And kindergartern. And high schools. College. University. Concerts. You’re as likely to be killed by a toddler with a gun as by a refugee with a gun.
And so on and so forth. I blame Minecraft for the obsession with buildings walls. And Mario for the mushroom addiction epidemic. Monkey Island for the ebola virus.

So, I watched the new BH90210.
And that’s something I never thought I’d say.
If you know me, you should know I hate all the reboots and remakes and things. But I’ll admit, this isn’t the worst. If you’re going to revive an old show, this is a fun idea. I don’t think I’ve seen it done like this before. It combines two of my favourite things. Celebrities playing horrible versions of themselves. And nostalgia. I do have a lot of nostalgia for the original show. The first seasons at least. That was back when we had two national tv channels and shows coming in from America were often a big deal amongst the Danish kids. I lost interest in the show after the first few years. But I do have good memories of the first ones. And you know, crushes on most of the girls too. As a lonely boy with no kind of social life with real girls, that’s how it would often go. I don’t think there was ever a single actress that appeared on Buffy or Angel that I didn’t have some kind of infatuation with.
And that concludes chapter one of My Life As a Hermit. In bookstores this fall.
