Looks like the playground is back in business. Seems like it’s been back to normal this week at least. Fingers crossed. Sigrid is back from a month’s vacation. Nina was back. Hans was there. Bodil and Sif stopped by. Her friend Åse too. Almost like the good old days! It’s just really good to have the goats out and well taken care of. I noticed that Mia seems to be missing a tooth or two. On her lower front jaw. I told Sigrid about it so they could keep an eye on it. I wonder what happened. Were they knocked out somehow? Or fell out? I just hope it’s not a sign of some problem. But she seems fine enough. Although it makes it a littler harder for her to attack apples head on, since goats don’t have upper front teeth either. Good thing she has me to help her.

My mother is back from the hospital now. I found out when she called me while I was sitting with the goats. I had to go do a little tech support on the new computer. But I’m glad she’s back home. She’ll be off work for a month. Hopefully she’ll be back to normal, then.

I also got news about Medium and Large. They’re still doing well and having fun at their new place. Growing big! And they’ve gotten new names. I always thought Medium and Large would be temporary names, so I’m good with that. They’re now called Lucy and.. Bob! I’m not sure if Medium was named after our Bob, but it seems a fitting tribute. I’m just really glad we got them such a good home and that they’re thriving there.

I miss Bob, though. Palle is super sweet but he’s not much of a troublemaker. He has nudged heads a little tiny bit with Kamel but that’s about as rowdy as he gets. I love him, of course! But I wish I could have seen him grow up with Bob, I’m sure they could have caused trouble together.

I made a little tribute video for Bob. I’d been kinda waiting for inspiration to hit and the moment I heard this song I knew it had to be. Youtube messed up the synchronizity a little bit, but I’m still really happy with it. I love how it starts with me shaking hands with baby Bob. And ends with him at the exit sign. The circle of life.

I miss him, my lovely boy.

Onwards with some pictures.

The birds may have flown and our big rooster stolen, but there’s still fowl at the playground. Is this a hen? Or a chicken? Or rooster. Or… I don’t know. I like the punk rock hair, though.

And balancing.

He may not be much of a troublemaker but Palle is really good at photobombing. Sneaking into the background of pictures. Here he is trying to steal Kamel’s glory.

Mia looking very sweet.

And digging in the hay.

Buddies.

And a goatlog from the week. You can hear Kamel being hoarse at the beginning. I think she just so adorable like that. Her voice quickly got back to normal, though. There are also visiting kids petting the goats and goats jumping on my back and all that stuff.

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

The playground has been closed for vacation this week. Not that that’s been much different from how it’s been lately. Alice’s son Mads (I think, I’m so bad with names. Face blindness makes it really hard to remember people) came and let the goats out in the mornings. So I got some good time with them anyway. And Mads seemed really nice and friendly. A couple of nice days with sun. And one with rain. Looks like next week will be mostly rain. I don’t mind the rain really. It’s the temperatures that bother me. I can haz summer plz?

On Tuesday I went with my dad to the hospital to see my mother. I’m not a fan of going out to new places with new people and talking and all that. But I thought it would be the right thing to do. And she seemed happy that I came. We met her out in the hall, walking around. So that’s good.She’s getting better. She might come back home in the beginning of next week. With a little luck. Although she’ll have to be on sick leave for a month, my dad told me. For her legs to heal up. Yeah, it’s been a bad infection. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Other than that there’s nothing new I think. Let’s go photo.

Mia gets an apple too.

And her chin scratched.

I may have a problem…

And a goatlog from the week. Mainly a visit from the Appleman. Plus other funstuffs.

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