Good goat times today. Started out quite lovely and warm with a good deal of sunshine. Later on we got a little rain. But summer rain isn’t so bad. (The opinions stated herein do not necessarily reflect those of the goats). Today’s a holiday, so I didn’t see any staff. But we did get some visitors who delighted in feeding the goats. And I had a good timeout, sitting on the bench with Mia lying next to me on the bench and Mio planting herself on the ground in front of us. A38 sitting in the shade on the other side of the pen. I very nearly dozed off myself.
Oh and the goaties, all of them, have learned to get through the boarded up gaps in the fences of the pen. Both the old one in the mud and the new one by the bench. They just slide under the new boards. Even big old Mio can manage to limbo underneath. Haha. So they can go back and forth through the pen and the pasture as they wish. It just takes a little snaking on the ground.

Good goat times today. A lovely, warm morning. Sun shining through a thin veil of clouds. A little windy. But these are the days when it’s a real pleasure to walk along the highway with an audiobook in my ears.
Arrived at the playground just as some kids were helping feed the horses and goats before they were let out. Lots of excited, little voices. Then outside and having fun with the goats. Today was a quiet day. Lots of relaxation. Cuddles and scratchies and yawns and just sitting back and enjoying the weather and company. The bubble is real.

I understand why some people refuse to think climate change is real. It’s kinda like how I refuse to believe that pizza will make me fat. Some truths are just too inconvenient. It’s easier to just enjoy the pizza and then regret it all those last 5 seconds before the heart attack. Only with climate change it’ll be your grandkids regretting it.
And I’m sure you can find some charismatic guy on youtube with a fancy graph explaining why climate change is fake. Just like you can find someone explaining why the Earth is flat, how god planted those dinosaur bones there, why the flag on the moon shouldn’t have waved in the wind. These days you can believe anything you want and you’ll be able to find the proof. There are probably people who still cite Alex Jones as fact even after he’s admitted in court that he’s just a ‘character’ and he had to retract that story and so on and so on. So let’s just have another slice of pizza and not worry about it.

I’m off for a trip to the moon. Or what dreams may come. It’s thundering outside and I just read a report that there’s been another shooting in my neighbourhood. The second in a few days, along with lots of other trouble. Sigh. But at least no victims, so that’s something. Even Denmark is crazy.
Hmm, now conflicting reports about whether anyone was hit or not.
And I think to myself, what a wonderfu

Well, I figured out the brightness problem with the photos. Somehow I had managed to change the colour setting from super vivid to something else, which caused some of the washedoutness and brightnessness. So I’ve been shooting with that the last couple of days. Oh well. That’s what you get for being too blind to read the menus on your camera. At least it isn’t broken.

Good goat times today. Another lovely, sunny day. It had rained overnight, though. So there was a bit of mud and wet grass. But not enough to really bother us. The goats still sliding under the fence to go where they pleased. Except when the horses got in the way. I was pulling down some branches for the goats and the horses wanted in on the deal. The goats were not pleased with that. I don’t like when people try to eat my food either. I might headbutt you.

Truly Trump is a fine Christian. Following in the footsteps of Jesus, who as we all know always referred to Peter as “Dishonest Pete” because he would deny his name. And let’s not forget “Betrayin’ Judas” as Jesus would often call him. And did he not tell the fable of the Good Samaritan who was all “You’re not of my religion so I will not help you. Samaritans first!”. And let’s not forget all the sexual harrassment lawsuits they had to settle with the sinful women that Jesus ‘helped’. When you’re the messiah they let you do that sort of thing. And did you see the crowds at his crucifixion? What a witch hunt, truly the most persecuted relative of a deity ever. And you know who got two scoops at the last supper? And so on and so forth.

Just started editing goat footage and suddenly memories of my dreams from last night came flooding in. In the dream I was taking photos of Mia’s eyes. I think I was scared that something was wrong with her and I wanted to document the appearance of her eyes to see if they were changing. They were all crazy shapes and colours, though. Peculiar. Anyway, back to work.

Currently reading (almost finished) Easy Street by Ron Perlman. Now there’s a name that takes me back. I think I saw him first in City Of Lost Children and Alien 4 and for some reason that tangled him up with Jean-Piere Jeunet in my head. So for a long time I actually thought of Ron as some kind of weird French actor haha. Amusing now reading the book and he’s a good old F-bomb dropping muthasnorkler. Actually the first time I saw him must have been in Beauty and the Beast, but I didn’t know that was him for a long time. I loved that show back in the day. That was back in the day before the internets and I had no idea about all the stuff going on in America and tv and movies and such, back when there was one episode a week and then it was suddenly gone and no idea if it would be back and no way to find out and no idea who that guy in the beast makeup was. It must have been one of the first, if not the first, of its kind of shows I ever watched. The sort of fantasy/scifi dramas with ongoing storylines. The fantastic. I can’t think of any earlier shows like that that I would have watched in Denmark. Otherwise it would have been cop or lawyer or doctor shows probably. It was nice reading this book now learning that the show was actually award winning and fairly well respected. Since I had no connection to America or big media back then I never really knew. I was afraid it was considered snorkly schlock or something. I feel like watching it again. They rebooted it a few years ago, but even with Kristin Kreuk in it I still just couldn’t get into it. Hashtag not my Vincent.
I found out about his autobiography because I started following Ron on twitter recently. Lots of F bombs and Trump roasting. I love Ron. I wish I could post the Legacy chapter here. Good advice for the kids today.
Anyway, that’s my book report. Please can I have my cake?

Good goat times today. I missed the sun, though. It was overcast all day. At least it stayed dry, and wasn’t too cold. There was some kind of hullabaloo going on in the area around the playground. Sounded almost like a carnival, there was some guy on a megaphone. And lots of kids walking around. Maybe it was the yearly exercise day for the schools? I don’t know. But lots of commotion and the goats very a little on edge. Unsettled. They can be quite sensitive to changes in the surroundings. But they calmed down soon enough and we spent some good lazy time together. I captured several nice yawns on camera, that’s always good. I love a good goat yawn.
Curiously, it seems like Mio has gotten tired of tomatoes. Maybe she got used to the imported winter ones. Now tomato season is in full bloom but she barely wants one, today she didn’t want any. Strange. Mia is happy to take up the slack, though. And she’s having an easier time eating the Danish summer ones, because they’re softer. Maybe they’re too ripe for Mio now. Peculiar. Her appetite in general is still as voracious as it ever was. Snarfing down all the treats I care to hand out, including some banana and cucumber leftovers. Go figure!

If you love goats, or other animals, just keep in mind that they’re quite dependent on the climate. Also on there not being coal in the rivers and not being shot in the face while hibernating.

Good goat times today. Lovely and sunny, though a bit of a cold wind on the walk there. The temperatures have fallen below 20C/70F again. But as long as the sun shines it’s still pretty nice.
Bad news, though. They boarded up the passageway I made. So now the goat pen and horse pasture is separated again. I think, at least. When I got there today the goats were actually out in the pasture. Whoever let them out in the morning wasn’t there when I got there. I’m wondering if they just let the goats out in the horse pasture. Or if they let them out in the pen and they were able to go to the pasture. The board they put up is positioned a little oddly, I’m wondering if perhaps the goats are able to pass through from the pen to the pasture but not the other way around. Hmm. Well, A38 can still pass both ways haha. Sometimes it pays to be a shortie. I guess it’s nice for her that she can have all that goat pen to herself with no menace from the big bully girls. But I’m annoyed. Humans suck. There are some other concerns too. I think I’ll have to try to talk to Finbarr, the guy who runs the place. I hate talking to humans. I spend most of my waking time trying to avoid it.
Anyway, the goating was still good. Lots of relaxing in the sunshine. Had some especially sweet and tender moments with Mio, resting her head in my lap as she slightly dozed off. Blissing in the sun. Just gotta try to keep my mind focused on the good things.

Heading to bed. Not feeling so good. Kind of having a crisis of faith, in humanity and in myself. The kind where you sit with your head in your hands and cry. I don’t like this world, I don’t really want to be a part of it anymore. I wish I could take my goats and fly away in a soap bubble.

Today will be a good day. I believe it, I really do. I felt awful yesterday. Like “can’t go on” awful. But then, there’s a freedom in feeling you’ve hit rock bottom. Things can only get better then. If nothing matters anymore then you’re free to do what you want without pressure. Might as well do something good.
Well, we’ll see what happens. I have been thinking about some things. Some things I want to change. Even contacted my doctor about getting back on anti depressants. We’ll see. For now I’m going to go exercise, because that’s one of the things that will make me feel better.
And thank you all for the support and sweet comments on last night’s post. It’s a blessing knowing you all got my back. Helps me keep going. Hope everyone else facing hard times will find their way too. Love you loves. Catch up when the exercise is done.

Ahh, the sweet scent of electrical fire.
*record scratch* wait, what?
Whoopsie. I knocked my glass of iced drink over while exercising. Annoying, but no big deal I figured. Until I smelled the smoke and heard an electric crackling over my MP3 player. Had to get off and unplug everything in a hurry, haha. I had knocked the liquid right into my extension cord with multiple sockets. Yikes. No fire, but it sure smelled like it. Oh well. At least the exercise was good and I have leftover pizza. Always look on the bright side.

Been a rough couple of days, but I think i’m moving in the right direction now. So that’s something. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and been there and existed. I wanted to share this thing that Rafael Lecuona DePiero sent to me. Especially the thing about thinking about things you’re grateful for. According to this article, even if you have nothing to be grateful for at all, just trying to think of something can actually have a positive effect. Not that that’s relevant to me, because I do in fact have things to be grateful for. Plenty. For starters there are the easy ones like goats, Facebookrinos and pizza. I’ve been trying to do this the last few days. When the dark thoughts creep in I go “Stop. What are you greatful for?”. I’m not saying it’s a jedi mindtrick that will fix everything. But anything to point your mind in a positive direction is helpful I think. So that’s what that’s what. Thanks for looking out, guys.
