We’re down to 7 degrees at night now? That is not nice, that is not nice at all. That’s so low that I have to close my air duct. Oh summer, I miss you already. I had been planning to work my butt off on the exercise bike, but I ended up spending months trying to fix my computer issues instead. Now the heat is almost gone and it’s much harder to work up a good sweat. Bummer.

Hopefully the computer troubles will be over soon, though. I fixed a lag issue. And also I’m sending the computer back. On Monday. Hopefully I can get a refund, at least a partial one. And then buy another one that’s better suited to my needs. And with the things I have learned on this one I should hopefully be able to run XP64 properly. And then everything will be fine and dandy. Like sugarfree candy.

A little goat video: youtube.com/watch?v=ZCYd6ySXjZA. Nothing special. Other than it being about goats. Which is always special. I’m sure you agree.

Election has finally been announced in Denmark. The opposition leads the polls. So I’m crossing my fingers. I don’t like our current government. Although it is amusing to watch the major meltdown they seem to be having in the campaigning. Politicians still make me cynical, though. The dishonesty and stupidity is amazing. I can’t stop picturing Benjamin Linus saying “we’re the good guys”. I think politicians lie more than Ben ever did.

Power to the goats.

Not a lot going on at the moment. Mostly just dealing with more computer issues. And riding my exercise bike. Visiting goats. American Gods on audiobook. Classic remastered Star Trek and the old, old black/white Doctor Whos. Seventeen different forms of medication. The weather not warm enough. Do they have welfare in Florida?! Almonds and pears for breakfast. Pancakes for dinner, but only today. I need to make appointments at the dentist and the doctor. I think the toilet is dripping, so I probably need to get the super to come round too. We have had rain and thunder. Lying in bed and listening to it makes me think of lying in my old bed, when I still lived at home. Falling asleep to the sound of rain and the leaves on the tree outside rustling in the wind. The tree has been cut down now, I think. Many things are very different. The rain still sounds the same, though.

And the goats are still great, that never changes. Here’s a little video: youtube.com/watch?v=ezsTVSlare0. Magnethe, Mio and Bob. Bobby is still small enough to get through the fence. Last time I went, I found him on his own outside the chicken coop, munching on grain on the ground. While the grownups were back in the fold. Much too big to get through any holes in the fence.

He’s getting bigger, though. He’s gotten a collar around his neck now. He didn’t seem to mind, but I’m sure he won’t appreciate it when he has to be tied down some day in the future. I don’t think he likes being in the fold that much, I think he gets a little bored there. He’s always looking off into the distance. Through the fence. Looks like he ponders all the great adventures he could get into on the other side. For now they just let him walk around where he pleases, when he escapes. I don’t think he wanders up into the residential block when he’s on his own. Usually I find him at the bushes or the chicken coop or pig sty, where the food canisters are. Growing boys need lots of food.

Oh, it’s a goat’s life for me.
