Out And About

March 25th, 2008

My body is feeling much better. The arms still a little sore, but not much. I can open cola bottles without pain now.

I’m very tired, though. So not much blogging going on. Just want to mention that the playground opened up after the Easter holiday today. And we celebrated by letting Magnethe and the kids loose on the premises. It was so great, seeing the kids run around and explore the place. They have so much energy. I love the randomness of their runs. Run to the left! Run to the right! Run back from where you came! Jump! Jump! Run to the left! And so on.

I made a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPAX58QS0pE. As you can see, Magnethe has not forgotten where the food is stored. I love that clapping sound of the lids. Although she’s not supposed to serve herself like that.

And now sleep me good.

Attack Of The Kamikaze Goats

March 24th, 2008

Hello. I just flew in from Mars, and boy are my arms tired!

No, no. But seriously folks. I woke up this morning with my arms aching even more. Oh boy. I hope they don’t fall off.

I was so sore that I almost contemplated not going to the playground. But then I realized how silly that would be. And then I went to the playground.

Today is the last day of the Easter holiday, so the place was closed. But Jannie was there, feeding the animals. And I sat down with the goat kids and had a jolly good time. I sat down on a stool, and you know, the higher you are the more they want to get on top of you. It’s crazy. They just hurl themselves right at you. And they keep coming. Over and over. A relentless assault.

Little puppydog goats..

It’s sweet when they drink. Little milk moustaches.

That’s about it. Tomorrow the playground will open again and the kids will get their first proper taste of the snow. Should be fun, I hope. Fingers crossed, if my arms don’t fall off.
