Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. With temperatures just that notch above freezing that makes it all more bearable. Even the mud semeed nicer today. It was still muddy, but there wasn’t much water in it. It was more like dry mud than like the swamp we’ve been having. That’s how you drain a swamp! (Sorry, if I’ve been too political. But asking people not to post about Trump around the inauguration is kind of like asking people not to talk about the Super bowl around Super Bowl Day. Is Super Bowl Day a thing? I don’t know anything about Super Bowl ball. Anyway, I’ve only lost one friend over it so far so we’re coo. Honestly, I can barely keep up with Facebook anymore so maybe I should just start posting really offensive stuff until everyone has unfriended me. Hey, it worked in real life!).
I was the first to arrive, so I took the goats out myself. Went smoother than it’s gone before, mainly because I hooked Mia up on Mio’s leash and then had A38 on her own. So I more or less had them all under control as I took them around the building and out to the pasture. Got Mia to get up on the little cross beam again. She could be a tightrope walker, I think.
Got news about the horse situation as well, but I’ll write about that when I’m done self medicating with pizza.

That’s… okay. I guess.
In related news, I started listening to Carrie Fisher’s new book today. Narrated by herself Only shortly into it but she’s already made me laugh a couple of times. Sigh.

Not only is The Last Jedi the title of the new Star Wars movie, it’s also the name of one of the 20 old Marvel stories that were translated for the Danish Star Wars magazine. I remember reading it as a kid and actually being quite moved by it. It might have been the first Star Wars story to ever sort of emotionally touch me like that. As ridiculed as the old Marvel comics are today, they were my gateway into an expanded universe.

Oh hey yeah, I was supposed to tell you about the horses. I actually started writing this yesterday evening but then I collapsed in my comfy chair, with aching leg and sadness over the decline of humanity and the fact that I had eaten the last of the pizza and I spent the rest of the evening and all of the night having amazing dreams. But never let it be said that I leave you hanging.
*clicks ‘Post’*
Oh wait, the horses. I talked to Ophelia as I left yesterday. She was out with the new horse. And it is a new horse, yes. It’s called Black Beauty. ‘Surprise, surprise’ as Ophelia said. Not the most of original name. But it fits. And she seems very sweet. When I gave her carrots the other day she didn’t get too eager or pushy. Seems quite easy going, unlike someone else I can think of…
Yes, Mulle has left us unfortunately. Apparently the older horses were getting a little tired of her (and I think the goats agreed). She was kinda hugh-strung and apparently she’d been having some breathing problems too. So she’s moved to another place that’s a little better suited to her needs. I’m not sure if we’ll get to see her again, but I wouldn’t count on it. It’s too bad, because I really like her. She was a lot of fun. She had a goaty personality, as I liked to say. Even though I don’t feed the horses very often, Mulle would still always come over to see if I had something for her. Much to the terror of the goats. It was fun knowing her, I hope she has a good life ahead. Black Beauty seems like her complete opposite. Other than the fact that they both have a white stripe down the face. Ophelia said that a couple of the other horses may also be leaving later in the year, and that they’re looking into getting one or more new horses, some that would be a little more kid friendly. I hope Sille doesn’t leave. Even though I’m not super close with her, I’ve known her for many, many years since she used to live at the old playground before coming here.
We’ll see what the future brings. I think Mia and Mio are happy with the change. They were terrified of Mulle. And they did have some close encounters too where Mulle acted out a bit, so maybe it’s better for their safety too. They have a healthy respect for the other horses, but seem to co-exist better with them.

Got a message from someone who said they got goats because of my page. That made me rather happy. Spreading some good. Also said her boyfriend lives in Denmark, but I don’t think that had anything to do with me. Although I know I make Danish guys look hot AF. Watching me waddle around in 17 layers of clothes with mittens on… honestly, I don’t know how anyone could resist me. The only reason I keep refusing to appear on a Danish version of The Bachelor is that I know I’d crash their system with the millions of applications they’d get to be on my season. It would definitely be the most watched season of all time. Period.

Thank you, Facebookerinos, for making me feel good about myself today. You all get a rose. And one for your goats, if you have any. While the political goings on today have made me want to pour Rogaine on my head so I could quickly grow some hair to tear back out, at least you show me the kindness that I desperately need to believe still exists in this world. I’m going to go dreamwalk into the great, wide crazy. If you need to borrow some elderberry soup from my freezer just remember: The pincode to my alarm system is 00007.

Here’s my theory about SW8:
The Last Jedi refers to Luke’s students. We’ll get the backstory of his academy. And at some point he’ll make a speech where he says to them “You are the last jedi… and the first”. And then Kylo Ren yada yada Yoda.
Of course I could be totally wrong. It’s bound to happen SOME day.

Trying to find my way back to happier postings.
I’m just finding it impossible not to be sad and angry about what’s happening. And powerless. Also, we’re supposed to ‘tell it like it is’, right? Or are we supposed to shut up and move on? I’m getting mixed signals.
I don’t think everyone who voted for Trump is a bad person. But if you’re okay with what they’re doing right now then I guess I just don’t understand why you’d want to be friends with someone like me. I feel like the very core of my essence is in complete opposition to everyhing that Donald Trump stands for. I mean can you even for a second imagine Donald sitting in the dirt playing with goats? Do you think he’d hesitate for a second before sending thousands of goats straight to the slaughterhouse if he needed their land for a pipeline or a wall? They just signed away basic health care for kids and veterans, you think they’d give two s**ts about the wellfare of animals, or mentally/physically challenged people like me?
I know it doesn’t matter. Everyone has picked their own truth already. I will try to find my way back to my own truth, a happy one. i’d like that to be the core of my essence. Or the essence of my core. I’m just saying. I’m an (overly) emotional and dramatic person at times and I have so many feelings about all this right now. Sometimes they’ll spill over. So feel free to unfriend or unfollow me if you can’t stand that. You can always follow Mia’s page for animal happiness. There will be no politics on there at least.
Thank you for putting up with me. And also thank you to those of my friends who are posting the hard facts about what’s going on. I’m just emotionally rambling, I’m thankful for everyone who is dealing more rationally and factually with things. Even though I’d also like Facebook to go back to a happy place with only animals and kids and fun and memes. But I don’t want to close my eye to what’s going on.
Bla bla bla, I’ll post a picture of A38 in a minute to make up for this a little.

Here’s my old friend Sille. I’m not completely sure that she’s the same horse who was at the old playground when I started going there some 12-13 years ago. But she might be.

Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. But very cold. Nights below zero and days just around freezing. The pasture was all frost today. It almost looked like it had snowed. I was greeted by bleats from the dark forest as I rounded the corner. It’s the first time in maybe months that has happened. I guess the frozen mud had allowed the goaties to roam back there again.
Got some fun horse yawns today. I was sitting with Mia and Mio when one of the big horses, Sille or Luna, came over. Mia and Mio backed off a little, but didn’t run screaming for the hills like they would have if it had been Mulle. Anyway, our big horse friend must have been tired because it aawned I think 4-5 times. Big horse yawns. Cute! Though, I still prefer goat yawns.
I heard Alice today, and saw Ophelia helping kids ride one of the horses. Didn’t talk to them, though. A couple of parents came into the pen and said hi to the goats. And of course asked if Mio was pregnant.
I am in a bit of an emotional pitfall at the moment. But seeing the goats is always so good.

In more amusing musings, it amuses me when someone follows me on twitter and I go look at their profile and it says something about how they’re entrepeneurs or twitter experts or seo experts etc. And I see they have like 1,200,000 followers. But they’re following 1,500,000 people. Yeah, you’re a real master at twitter. You figured out that if you follow a million people on twitter you’re probably going to get at least half a mil following you back. That’s not very impressive. I don’t think Kim Kardashian had to follow 60 million people to get her 50 million followers. This was less amusing and interesting than I had hoped when I started writing it.

Good goat times today. Lovely and sunny too. And even a little bit warmer. Up to around 5C/40F. Just that little bit helps a lot. Although it gets tricky to find the right combination of clothes. Sweater? Hoodie? Skull cap? How many layers of shirts and blouses? If I dont wear enough then I freeze immediately. If i wear too much then I sweat and get soaked and freeze eventually. Today was pretty good, though. Of course the warmer weather meant the mud was back. Maybe the worst yet. Poor goaties. And poor me, stumbling around in it. My feet got stuck a few times, but I managed not to fall at least.
A group of kids came by just as I got there too. They asked if I could get Mia and Mio to come over to them so they could pet them. And of course I could. Meanwhile A38 stood in her sunspot and relaxed. The kids laughed when I told them her name. It’s funny, to non Danish people A38 sounds like an impersonal designation. But to Danish people it’s a funny name.
Brought some carrots, leftover from soup making, and gave them to the horses. Something odd though. I think.. Mulle might be gone. I thought I was giving a carrot to Mulle, because she had that white stripe down her face. But then I realised.. the horse I was giving a carrot to was much darker. Didn’t have that blond hairdo. Odd odd odd. I just checked my photos and yes, I think it’s a new horse. But where is Mulle then? I wonder if they’ve exchanged horses with another place. I didn’t get a chance to talk to anyone today.
Another clue that it wasn’t Mulle was that Mia and Mio were not panicking like all heck when she got near. They’re terrified of Mulle. But Mia actually stood up to this new horse when she got hear. Almost headbutting her. And then of course still backing off, because it’s a big horse. I think a little bigger than Mulle.
Either it’s a new horse, or someone dyed Mulle’s hair. Funny thing, my face blindness extends to animals. Which is why I probably don’t remember the name of your pet. Faces and names just don’t stick together in my head.
Well, we’ll see. I hope Mulle isn’t gone for good. I really liked Mulle. Hope she’s okay too.
Now it’s time for soup.
19/1 2017

.
Here she is. Is this Mulle? I’m genuinely not sure. She seems a lot darker. Maybe she rolled in the mud. But. Hmm.
Oh yeah and do note Mio’s expression in the background. She may not be terrified like when Mulle is near, but she’s clearly not thrilled about the company.

This place, right next to the white door, used to be off-limits for the goats and horses. I think it was a little playpen where bunnies could be taken out. But that storm that messed with the fence to the goat pen, that let the horses invade, also messed with this fence. So now the goats and horses can go in there. The ground is more firm in there because it hasn’t been downtrodden and grazed by the horses. So it’s a little escape from the mud.
