Good goat times today. Spring is a little on hold, though. Mostly grey and a little cooler than last week’s outings. But at least it’s not freezing. Got some good cuddles in with the 3 goatsketeers. And delivered water to the horses. Their big tub doesn’t get filled until a little later in the day, so if they come up to the fence I’ll take the goats’ water bucket and hold it out for the horsies to drink. I can go fill that water pretty easily. So that way everyone wins. Except of course tor the minute I’m out of sight while refilling the bucket. That’s always accompanied by loud complaints from the peanut gallery.

Time travels for no man. I am the ghost of pizza past. I am become sneeze. I am affordable gesundheitcare. Eye am sick. Follow the yellow brick road to a heart attack and a brain tumor and nothing but fear itself. I am fire and ice, ice baby. I an random function of the multiplier. I have no mouth and I must dream. I walk alone with you, I lost the thread. in a stack of needles, and pinheads, skinheads, dobermans and lynch mobs. lunch meat pond scum. I think I need a drinking problem. I’m going to go hide my head in the sand. Wake me up come armageddon.

I had a wonderful dream. It was a school reunion I think. Or maybe just a school party, back in time. In any case. For some reason Kristen Bell was there and was talking to me and seemed to know me and care bout me. And she complimented me and tried to make me feel good about myself in a way that I rarely do. It was almost like she was a surrogate for my Facebookerinos. She was also very pretty and being near her was a little magical. And then also for another some reason Carrie Fisher was there. Yes, I love dream magic. She was very sick, though. Very, very poor health. Like, close to death. I was sitting at another table but when I got the chance I went over and sat across for her just to be near her a little. And I got to say some personal things to her and kiss her hand before she left.
I just want to go back to that world and live there. Why do I have to spend time in this reality full of coldness and greed and blindness and anxiety and war and pain and loneliness and no Carrie Fisher.

Good goat times today. A beautiful day with lots of sun. I think we may have reached the magic 10C/50F. I can feel that change from struggling to stay as long as possible with the goats in the cold, to the struggle of getting myself to leave because I just want to sit longer in the sun with them.
Brought a couple of carrots that I handed to Black Beauty and Sille. Mia tried to get in on the action too, but then when I let her sniff at them she deigned not up to her high standards. And then changed her mind again when I went back to giving them to the horses. And then changed her mind again when I let her sniff at them again. “I Mean, yeah I don’t WANT them, but that doesn’t mean I want you to give them to someone else!”.Oh dear.
We had some sweet visitors too. A little girl came up to the fence and called out to me, asking if she could come into the pen. I told her she’d have to get permission, but I went over to her and got Mia and Mio to follow me so she could pet them through the fence. Actually she was hanging over the fence, practically falling over. She told me she was a triplet. One of them was in school, but she and her brother, I think, had some kind of health issues so they’d accompanied their mother who was visiting our place to check on one of the horses. The girl told me that it was her birthday soon, and then counted off the days until then. I asked her how old she’d be, but she couldn’t remember. Oh well. Haha. She asked about the goats and we talked a little. Then her brother came over and said hi. And the girl asked me “what was that one’s name?” and I said “Mio” and she said to her brother, who was standing right next to us “that one is called Mio”. And we repeated that for the two other goats. Eventually their mother came over, and we let them come into the pen so they could spend a little proper time with the goats. Sweet and fun. As they left their mother thanked me and wished me a nice day. And then the girl thanked me and wished me a nice day. It’s always nice when you can help kids have a good experience with the goats.

On my way home from the goats today I got a phone call. I can’t see my phone screen when I’m outside in the sun, so I figured I’d better just answer it. An English speaking person speaking in a pretty thick African-like accent started talking. He asked how I was and started saying something about being from a newspaper. Eh, scammer. I checked my call history and I’ve had calls from that number like 5 times the last year. It was probably them last I got asked to answer a survey thing, did I mention that? Anyway. Hung up. Obvious scam is obvious. But the amusing part was when he tried to say my name. You know the Monty Python sketch? “No no no, it’s pronounced Raymond Luxury Yacht, but it’s spelled Throatwobbler Mangrove”. It reminded me of that. “Yes I’m looking for a Mr Lasse.. Linno…Thumbtwiddler Filet-Mignon”. I didn’t realise my surname was so complicated, he really did a number on it. I wish I had recorded the conversation so I could type out exactly what he said. It wasn’t even close. It didn’t even contain any Henrik at all.

Whenever I stumble onto Columbo on the televisual engine I always have a hard time tearing myself away. There’s just something about it that captivates me.

Snorkelpuffs. That was tough. First time this year that I exercised two days in a row. With snowpants, shirt, plastic bag, two space heaters and some glorious sunshines from outside. Kicked my ash. But good result on the weight. It’s that payoff afterwards that makes it all worthwhile god I wish I had pizza.

Started listening to Norse Mythology today. I love listening to Neil Gaiman, definitely one of the cases were having the author read the book is a big bonus.
So far I’m greatly enjoying it. It takes me back to when I was a kid in school and we learned about the norsy mythology. That was a typo, but I’ll keep it in. The norsy mythology. I remember being fascinated by it at the time. Also by the whole idea of the ancient Danes believing in it. Hearing the thunder and thinking it was the gods. The gods and the giants and worms and wolves and snakes. There was also a Danish animation movie called Valhalla that was a really big deal back then. It was like a Disney class (more or less) movie and I remember being fascinated with that too. You didn’t get a lot of movies like that from Denmark. So I’m happy to re-acquaint myself with the myths, and hearing them from such a great storyteller. Gaiman always reminds me of how I used to want to be a writer.

Good goat times today. Although the weather got cold again. Cold and dark with some rain later on. I thought we were heading for spring… Hope we’ll get there soon.
When I got to the goats I realised I’d dropped one of my mittens on the way. I had to go back and look for it. The goaties were not happy about this particular decision of mine. “YOU JUST GOT HERE, WHY ARE YOU LEAVING ALREADY?!”. Even A38 was bleating after me. I managed to find the lost mitten and came back carrying treats so I think they forgave me. I also had the delight of seeing Black Beauty roll around on her back in the mud. If it wasn’t so cold I would have been tempted to join her. Looked like fun. Messy, but fun.

Good goat times today. In fact wonderful weather. According to the forecast it was 10C/50F – 13C/55F. I think that’s a record for the year. It was so warm that halfway to the goats I had to take off my little scarf. For the first time since I don’t know, October? And for the first time since the snowdays I found the goats out in the horse pasture. The mud dried up enough for them to go out. So I got a running bleating greeting from Mia. Love those. Later on we took a run through the pasture together. She almost started bucking around like Palle. And even later I got a sure sign that it was warmer, because the goaties started sitting down to relax. I rarely see them do that when it’s cold. Nothing better than sitting down in a pile of goats and just relaxing. I don’t think it’s going to stay this warm from now on, but it’s a nice sign of things to come. We’ll get there. To sunny days and beyond.

Wait, let me write a grocery list. Starting with one of every pizza, including the ones that haven’t been invented yet.

Good exercise today. Weight is slowly but surely dropping. I’m at the lowest since October, so that’s good. The holiday bulk is gone. Well, the 2016 holiday bulk. Last year was so traumatizing that I never really got rid of the 2015 holiday bulk. So there’s still aways to go before I’m in a good spot. But at least back to feeling fairly comfortable. Just gotta keep going. And when it gets warmer and I can have good tomatoes and cucumber it’ll only get easier. I’ve gotten used to using a stopwatch program on my PC instead of the computer on the exercise bike. So that’s good too. I do miss being able to see how many km I’ve gone, but I think it’s actually working better for me to use time as a measure of what I’ve done and still need to do.
