Oh my. We had a lovely start to this week. Hot and sunny. It was upwards of 20 degrees at times. That’s summer. A little bit of summer in April. What a treat. I went and got a hair cut on Monday and for the first time this year I left the house without a jacket. Definitely T-shirt weather.

It’s just wonderful, sitting in the sunshine with the goats. Lazy, yawning, snoring goats. We had visiting kids too. I got to play tour guide for them in the goat pen. Did tricks with the goats, much to their delight. A couple of girls started calling me “goatman”. Goatman, what’s that one called? Goatman, can I give them this grass? Goatman, can I ride a goat? Lots of fun!

The weather has cooled down a little again now. More normal Danish spring weather. But I hope the summer will be back soon. It’s May!

I spent all Friday working on my computer. Windows stuff. It took a lot longer than I had expected. Succesful in the end, though, so I was happy about that. But then I got back on Facebook and saw that the playground had updated their page with a bunch of photos. And they had let the goats out of the pen. Must have been the first time this year. I was a little sad that I’d been sitting in front of the computer all day instead of being out in the green with the goats. But oh well, there will be plenty of green days ahead.

And here are photos.

I forgot this picture last week. I found a Shaun the Sheep toy in the goat pen. Sheep in the goat pen, that way madness lies!

Every time I go to get my hair cut I walk by this church. It’s such a nice and peaceful sight up on the hill.

Herman sitting in the playhouse.

Tempting Kamel with a raisin.

Aahh, summershine. Sit back and bake.

Mia on the bench. I love the way she sits there.

What’s going on down there?

Mio in the sun.

Me and Mio.

The two darlings.

Herman with a mouthful.

The Palleface.

Sif the Ewokdog enjoyed the sunshine too.

Goofy Kamelface.

Kamel enjoying the sunshine.

Sweet Mia and me.

You’re still looking at me, right?!

She’s still quite wide, Mio.

Psst. Got any raisins?

And finishing with a couple of Palles.

And a goatlog. With all the sweet summertiming.

And that’s all for this week, folks. See you in the next one.

Another pretty uneventful week gone by. Quite mixed weather. We had some grey and rain. But we’ve also had some brilliant, sunny days. Tuesday in particular was very lovely. It was so warm that I had to take my jacket off. T-shirt weather for the first time this year! The weekend has been really warm and sunny too, which is good for exercise. I think it will get a little colder again next week, but hopefully the t-shirt weather will be back soon. And that’s the weather report.

Nothing new really from the goat report. Everyone getting along. Mostly. The playground was closed again on Monday because of Easter holiday. Again I went and let the goats out so they could have some time in the fresh air. Herman tried to put the moves on Kamel which resulted in 10 minutes of everyone running around in circles. I think they were glad to get out in the pen!

On the home front I have added a couple of new things to my health regime. Quinoa and beets, more precisely. Since brussel sprout season is over (I can’t believe some evil scientist hasn’t genetically modified it to be grown all year or something. I’ll be trying frozen ones, though) I was looking for alternatives. I found a “quinoa salad”. I remember coming across quinoa when I was doing research for how to get protein before going vegetarian. But for whatever reason I never tried it out. I didn’t really have high hopes for it this time either, but it turns out I really like it. So that’s good. I don’t like beets much. My mother used them a lot when I was growing up, but it was never something for me. It still isn’t, really. But I treat them like brussel sprouts. Swallow them down raw with water for health benefits. I don’t have the time/energy/desire/skill to really cook them or make them delicious. But it’s okay. Hopefully it’s good for me!

And now on with the pictures.

Herman the man.

Herman bleating.

Haha. Kamel looking goofy.

Mia looking pretty #1.

Mia looking pretty #2.

Mia looking pretty #3.

Palle and Mia.

Foreground Palle.

Mio in midbleat.

Sunny Kamel.

Haha, I love this. Mia was standing on the wooden staircase and she started digging in the wood like they dig in the ground before sitting down. I thought to myself I thought “you’re not going to sit there, are you Mia?”. But she did. I can’t imagine it’s the most comfortable place to sit. But it’s a nice, central position. You can see this in the goatlog below too.

Reception is a little fuzzy, we might have to adjust the ears.

Audio is coming through loud and clear, though. Baaah!

T-shirt weather!

Palle and grandmama Mio.

And some bird photography.

You can see them at the end of the goatlog. The one on the right was being a right jerk to the other one, haha.

And videos. First the goat circus from Monday. Everyone running around. Always fun to watch.

And the goatlog. A bit of T-shirt weather and fun with the goats.

And that’s all for this bleat, folks. Hear you in the next one.
