The Fishslap Dance
February 29th, 2008Still a little unwell. I have slept a lot. A lot lot. I’m not sure if that contributed to my feeling bad, though. But on the other hand I’m starting to feel better so maybe the sleeping was good for me. In any case I’m not feeling outright sick, like the flu. So hopefully it won’t get any worse.
To keep you entertained while I sleep the days away, here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5vgVnuFdyw. Good old Mads, the selfish goat. I’m giving out raisin treats and he wants them all for himself. I just love those sounds he makes. The grunting/mumbling/groaning outbursts. And how his head swings from side to side, as if he can’t decide what’s more important: getting a treat or keeping Magnethe away from the treats. Oh Mads, oh dear.
I didn’t get a chance to check up on the goats today since, well since I slept of course, so I don’t know if there are any kids yet. But I have asked Per if they would give me a call if Magnethe happened to give birth on a day when I wasn’t there. And I’ve had no calls. So I assume there has been no birth. I said previously that I’d be surprised if nothing happened this week. But it looks like Magnethe is still dragging things out! I think she just likes the attention. Hehe. It’s odd to feel her stomach and realize that there are most likely three little kids rolling around in there, almost ready to come out. I almost feel like putting my ear to her side and see if I can hear them talk in there. They must be doing something to pass the time!
I’m not being silly, thankyouverymuch.
