Easter Funnies

April 20th, 2014

It’s been a pretty quiet Easter. Oh yeah. Happy Easter to everyone to whom it may apply. And happy Wester to the rester ya.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer. With a fair bit of sunshine. I put my winter boots away and stepped into my shoes instead. Without woolly socks. And also a springtime jacket instead of the winter coat. Oh it is lovely and I do enjoy it. Let’s hope the temperatures keep rising. Gimme some summer. I’m glad winter is over.

The playground is closed for Easter. When I got there Thursday morning the goats were enjoying fresh hay. So that meant someone had already been there to feed them. Which also probably meant that they’d have to stay inside for the rest of the day. I felt bad about that. It was a lovely day outside. So I decided to take them out. I normally don’t do that when the place is closed and I’m on my own. But I had a good time with them in the sun. Went and got new branches for them to munch on. Mia was hollering after me every time I left the pen. I forgot how loud she can be. They were all well pleased when I returned with fresh branches, though.

And that’s about all. Let’s get to a goatload of pictures.


Kamel chewing.


May have to practice my photography a little, missed most of Mia.


That’s better.


Mia walking the plank.


Mia and Palle.


Just Palle.


I love that face.


Is he behind me?


Herman taking a break from his chores.

Old lady Kamel.

Mia and clingy human.


What are you doing out there, Palle?


Herman battling a carrot.


Queen of the world.


Sweet face.


Mmmwah.


Baah!


What?


Buddies.


Waiting for me to get back in the pen.


Floppy ears like Easter bunnies.

And a goatlog, with all this and more.

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

The Rain In Denmark

April 13th, 2014

Good news from the playground this week. The place won’t be closing. It’s almost for sure now. Apparently there was a big crisis meeting of politicians and everyone agreed that closing the playgrounds would be nuts and it’s been in the papers now so it would be hard to go back on that. Keep your fingers crossed. But it should be okay. What a relief.

Another nice thing was seeing Per again. He stopped working at the playground quite a while ago. But he’s back. Temporarily. Until he finds something else. He seemed glad to see me, and I know I’m happy he’s around again. It’s nice having someone with experience of the place. He was already busy fixing things and such. Good guy.

We had a rainy day too. Mio and Herman ended up in the little playhouse together. That was quite amusing. Bodil remarked “there isn’t enough room for any funny business in there, is there?”. Nope. Mio isn’t running away from him much anymore. Just the little worried bleats when he’s near. I didn’t think she would stay in the playhouse with him, but I guess it was better than being in the rain!

Other than that, it’s pretty much business as usual. The weather slowly warming and the ribs doing fine. Aaand. Goats.


Sweet Mia.


Mio and human.


Mio and Herman sharing the playhouse.


Kamel sniffing the camera.


That’s about as close as she ever gets to getting up on the wooden staircases. Gravity always wins!


She’s a sweetheart, though.


So is Mia.


Heellooouw!


What you got there?


Precious.


Holding hoof.


Mia in the rain.

Hello, my name is Lasse and I have a coconut oil addiction. Amazon decided to discontinue their Free Super Saver Delivery to mainland Europe, including Denmark. It really sucks because I order a lot of stuff from amazon. I complained about it to their support and they gave me free shipping for one more order. So I ordered 10 tins of coconut oil. It’ll have to last a long time, because shipping is really expensive there now. Dang.


Feeding time for the goats. They prefer hay to coconut oil.


Herman standing in the wheelbarrow.

And a goatlog. Lots of rain and hay. I especially like Mia jumping into the wheelbarrow and then having to jump right out again. Whoopsie.

And that’s all for this hat, see you in the next folk song.
