ood goat times today. Still cold. But we got a good deal of sunshine today, which helps. It’s Fall vacation in Denmark, which funnily enough means LESS visitors than normal. Since the new neighbour school is closed. But we did get a littel group, I think two adults and two kids. They got to feed and pet the goats, so that was good for all.
There was a major giant huge change at the playground today. I will tell you later with a photo. Sorry about the clickbait, but you know how it goes. Okay okay, it’s nothing impoirtant or exciting. It involves sunshine, though.
Stay tuned, don’t touch that dial! And now a word from our sponsors. Soup. Soup, it’s what’s for dinner.

Here’s the big change. Can you tell? Haha. I moved the bench. Jeanette actually suggested it last week, to move the bench into the sun. But I declined. I didn’t think it was necessary, and I liked the bench where it was, at the base of the mountain, close to the goat house and the gate. But, the cold got to me. So I dragged the bench to the far side of the goat pen today. And spent some really lovely time sitting there in the sun with the goats. I would rather be sitting closer to the goat house and fence and gate, but the sun doesn’t reach there anymore. And I’m going to need the sun, when it’s there.

Dang. Seems like tomato season is over. The last week or two the tomatoes have been pretty bad. I have been eating lots of maters. Guess I’ll be leaving them to the goats now, until next spring, if we make it that far. I’ll miss ’em.

Oh Luna. After I moved the bench I spent a good long time sitting in the sun with the goats. And of course the kids got sleepy. They usually take a nap after we’ve been running around for an hour or two. I love when they use me as a pillow. Their little eyes twitching. I could feel Luna’s breathing slowing down. And then a couple of times her heart would start beating faster, like she was dreaming of chasing butterflies. The sweetest is when they make little noises in their sleep. Tiny little dream bleats. Doesn’t happen very often. I got a couple from Luna today. And once from Bella. Bella’s voice is a lot calmer than Luna’s. And her sleep-bleats were like tiny little baby bleats. So darn adorable.

Off to the doctor’s office today. For a yearly checkup. I think it’s been more than a year since the last one.. kind of been skirting out on it, along with all the other health stuff. I have barely been functioning, it’s been a bad year and a quarter.
We’ll have to see what the blood and urine tests say, but I am expecting that my blood sugar levels have skyrocketed. I have been eating very poorly, stopped exercising, put on like 15 pounds. Yeah it’s not been going so well. The nurse was quite sympathetic and understanding when I mentioned some of the stuff that’s been going on. We’ll see what the results say and what they’ll want to do. Not looking forward to it.
Another notable thing today was that I used my new bus card for the first time. Rejsekortet. The travel card. As I mentioned a while ago they are phasing out the machines that let you buy tickets with cash in the busses. And I go by bus so rarely that it would be stupid to have one of the longer running passes that I’ve had in the past. So I had to come up with an alternative, and I was really worried about that since everything is digital on apps and phones and whatnot these days, which I can’t use. But turns out the travelcard isn’t and app. It’s just a card. I guess there’s a chip in it and you hold it up the readers in the bus. It sounded super easy on paper, but it was still causing anxiety for me. I kept pictuing myself there in the bus getting the ANGG REJECTED noise instead of the DING ACCEPTED noise. I looked at several videos on youtube just to make sure how to do it. But it went fine. It’s literally just holding the card to the machine and both my check-ins and check-outs worked as they should. So that’s good. This is a case where the change is actually good, it is way cheaper and easier than the cash ticket. The ticket machines are also anxiety inducing for me, because there you have to insert coins and make selections in menus. Way harder. That troubled me so much that I used to get my dad to come along when I needed to get cash tickets. The travelcard is so much easier, as long as it works anyway. I am sure I will always have some anxiety when using it. Being blind and social phobic is not a fun combination, it leaves you feeling helpless a lot.
But anyhoo. Glad that’s done, sometimes change isn’t bad. But you just have to drag me kicking and screaming into it. We’ll see how the test results go next week. I would rather have been goating today, but oh well.

Moving the bench yesterday was not the only new place I sat. I don’t know if you can tell from the picture, but I am actually sitting on one of the platforms here. For the first time ever. It’s the platform with the less steep ramp. Although i did not climb the ramp to get up, I am not a goat. Unfortunately. I dragged the black tub over there and got up on that and then was juuust able to get my keyster up on the platform. Getting down again was tricky because I could only just with a lot of stretching reach my foot back down on the tub. But it was fun to sit on the platform with the goats. Maybe next summer I’ll get up there on some sunny days and lounge with the goat crew. Gravity is a harsh mistress though, I usually stick closer to the surface. Sometimes with my face plantedc in the grass.

Feeling a bit nauseated and tired today. Hope I didn’t catch anything at the doctor’s office. I was sitting at a table and the guy on the other side of it was sneezy and coughy. And he went into the nurse’s office before my turn. I’m sure it’s just the hypochondria and paranoia. Or maybe it’s typhoid. Hashtag pray for Lasse.

Of course when you put a tub somewhere, it won’t be long until there’s a goat on it. Here’s Luna.
She actually was up on the platform first, and then she wanted to jump down onto the tub. And she did that thing of walking back and forth on the edge of the platform looking down, like judging the distance and probability of surviving the giiiiant leap. Pretty cute.

I don’t get that chance that often, but I like to bear hug a goat. They’re not too fond of being restricted, so I generally don’t do it. Bella sometimes gets up with her legs up over mine, and she doesn’t seem to mind if I grab a quick hug like this.
Oh and I’m feeling pretty okay right now, pretty tired but it’s almost bedtime anyway. Don’t think I’m coming down with anything. Probably. Unless the typhoid is dormant and just waiting to kick back in . We’ll see. Hashtag pray for soup.

Good goat times today. It was a sad start to the day. I checked in on Facebook before leaving the house and saw the sad news of Esther the wonder pig’s passing. Shocking and heartbreaking. I think most of you knew Esther, certainly the ones in the goat circle of friends. I know some worked at the sanctuary and I think some found Mia’s page through comments I’d left on her page. She was something special, and the family and friends did wonderful things. As I’m sure they will continue to do, in her honour. The kind of stuff they did and the sanctuary they made and the things they stood for is exactly what I would have done if I was a better functioning and capable human, and had the chance. Animals mean everything, to the world and to the people in it. Don’t I know it for myself with the goats. Sad to see Esther passing almost exactly six months after Mia. Two big ladies. I had a slight taste of going viral with Mia, but Esther was an international superstar. And that was used to do great things.
But I won’t go on about it now. I posted a tribute on the goat page too if you want to read that.
The goats did their best to cheer me up today. They were running up a storm. Literally, it was storming. Cold cold wind. I was already sad about Esther and feeling slightly dizzy and off, and the wind was not helping. Not feeling great. But it was great to see the goats run. They were sprinting like i’ve rarely seen. The kids are so fast. And even Sky came running, dragging her saddlebags. Not as fast as the kids, but she got up to some high speed too. Certainly faster than i am with my saddlebags. So that got some laughs out of me.
I got to meet hte new leader, Andrea, again too. For the second time. Jeanette was showing her the storage room and giving instructions for feeding the goats. Andrea will be on feeding duty tomorrow. I am glad she will be ‘getting her hands dirty’ with that stuff, I think taking care of the animals is probably not in job responsibilities, but it’s good when the captain of the ship doesn’t mind helping with the oars. Or something. My impressions from our two first meetings is that she is super super sweet and seems to give off a gentle and kind vibe. So that’s good. She asked a bit about the facebokbok page too, so she knows about that.
Bless all the people doing good for animals. If we’re not doing good then what the fokfok are we doing here anyway.

That’s all for now.

Good goat times today. A cold morning. Had my jacket on, but I still got cold as the day wore on. May be time for longer shirts or blouses. I said to Jeanette I said “well now it’s 6 months until it starts getting warm again” and she went “Oh Lasse, don’t”. Haha. She was complaining about the cold too.
We had company of Jesper handyman all day today. Working on laying out the pavement tiles. Not just laying them down, he’s trying to make sure it’s all level because the hill is apparently quite crooked.
Of course he had some nosy goats ‘helping’ him. I tried to get them away so they didn’t get in his way too much. We had some nice chitter chatter, I don’t feel as comfy talking to him as Jeanette, but pretty good and he’s quite nice. Visiting kids today too. The newfeathers came into the goat pen again, but again just walking along the fence and pretty much walking right back out. Not mingling with the goats yet.
Nearly had a disaster today. I forgot my camera when I left. Whoopsie. I usually put it up on a shelf above the hayrack when I stretch after I arrive and before I leave. And I forgot to bring it with me. Didn’t realise until I was packing my groceries after shopping. Then I thought “hmm why is my camera box so light..”. Oh dear. So instead of heading home with my shopping I had to head back to the playground. I’m sure the goats were confused to see me, they were all on the platform together. First time i’ve come back after leaving them. I was only gone for about 30-45 minutes. And the camera was on the shelf in the dark in the goat house, so it’s not like there was a big chance someone would have found and nabbed it. And it was there just fine. No problem. Other than having to lug my groceries around for twice as long as normal. Of course on the day I decided to buy blubbery sodas. I found a new sugarfree soda, blueberry flavour. It’s pretty good, and my selection is so limited because I can only get the sugarfree ones. So I bought a 6 pack of half litre bottles of that. Along with a couple of squash ones. And then potatoes and carrots and other goods.
I deserve some soup now.

The goats weren’t the only ones helping Jesper. Henrietta Solo and Red Sonja got quite involved too. Jesper couldn’t quite figure out why they were so eager to get in his way. Until he realised “they eat worms, don’t they?”. Yeah there was a lot of interference with his work!

Good goat times today. Getting colder and colder, though. Down around 7C/44F in the morning. That is uncomfortable for me. Started freezing after a few hours of sitting around. I did warm up a little when I ran around with the goats, got Sky to do some twirls on the mountain and zooms around. That was good to see. I miss her and Milo speeding around on the mountain. Sigh. But yes, it might be time to start layering up. A lnogsleeve shirt and a t-shirt under the jacket. I get too cold too easily.
The goat running was fun though and we had nice visitors, as we usually do these days. Red Sonja made me laugh when she came running as fast as she could and started pecking at the cucumber in my hand while I was feeding it to the goats. Normally she just grabs stuff that falls, or I throw, on the ground. But here she was like a fourth goat during the feeding frenzy. She’s a hoot.

Now that I have to wear a jacket, it will be interesting to see how long the zippers survive. The kids are predictably obsessed with trying to eat them. METAL DOESNT TASTE GOOD.

I MUST HAVE IT ALL IN MY MOUF RIGHT NOU.

Got my monthly deliver of Pepsi this morning. Along with some other goods. I am really happy I started doing this. The delivery site had a sale on butter, so now I don’t have to buy butter the next month… hope it keeps long enough. Got sugarfree red and green soda too, along with the blubbery blue I bought in the grocery store. One of the things I missed when I had to stop drinking sugary sodas was the colourful ones. Pepsi Max keeps me going, but I always liked the brightly coloured sodas too. Nice to have some of those again. I don’t have drinking problem YOU HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEm I’m fine hiccup.

Thank you for subscribing to my Indiana Jones blog. Here is the final update.
I watche the two last movies. As I had suspected I liked Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull a lot more on my second viewing. Just watching it in proper quality obviously makes a big difference. It’s a pretty fun adventure. It’s got some nice archaeologist Sherlock Holmes stuff. I don’t personally mind the interdimensional alien thing, in fact that sort of thing interests me more than religious artefact stuff. I know a lot of people have isseus with the fridge thing, but eh I don’t mind that either. It’s certainly no worse than jumping out of a plane on an inflatable boat and rafting straight into an unlikely plot. There is stuff I don’t like, and it’s kind of the same as with Dial of Destiny. There are characters that are kind of annoying, and there are characters introduced who we’re told are important to Indy’s life, but I just don’t.. feel it. It’s kind of inevitable given the long breaks between the last movies. There’s a lot of history that you don’t get to see you just get to be told and then you have to accept that. Like McHale and Shaw. I just.. don’t feel it completely. I wish Brody could have been there, I loved Brody. At least we got a nice nod to Brody and Henry Senior. But yeah, there’s some of the implied history that just doesn’t quite land for me.
And then there’s Mutt. And honestly I’m not sure if I dislike the character or if it’s just because it’s Labeef. I can’t shake the prejudice against him.
And then there’s a problem I have with almost all the movies, and it’s due to my bad eyesight. They all have these highspeed action chase sequences. And it’s just not great for me, because I can’t keep up. I think the mine cart sequence is one of people’s favourite scenes in Temple Of Doom, but for me it’s just a blur. You could cut most of that stuff out oft alpl these movies (except Raiders, Raiders is perfect) and I’d enjoy them more. But I know that’s not really a fair criticism.
But all in all I enjoyed Skull to a fair degree, don’t quote me on that out of context. Not as good as the original trilogy, but not as bad as its reputation. And I have seen a lot of people say that recently, so maybe its reputation isn’t actually that bad. People just can’t let go of the fridge.
And then Dial of Destiny. And my feeling about that one is.. about almost the same as Crystal Skull. Except probably a little worse. It’s got the same problems of characters and action sequences. But it’s got some fun stuff too. And there’s just a joy to seeing Indy, because I love that character so much. Getting to see him again was a treat and I appreciate it. I don’t mind seeing him kind of old and broken. Just like I didn’t mind seeing Luke old and broken in The Last Jedi. I would rather see them in their prime, but when you make the movies so much later after the originals, I find it almost more interesting to see tehm slightly failed instead of just having fulfilled all potential and being succesful in all they’ve done.
I loved the first flashback scenes with younger Indy though. Deaged Ford worked for me. I’d take a whole movie of deaged Ford just having more adventures.
It was fun seeing another Mikkelsen. Our Mikkelsens get around.
I could have used some more fun and adventure, some more archaologist detective work. Loved the ending, loved seeing Sallah.
All in all I had a good time, but it is my least favourite of the movies. My ranking goes; Raiders, Crusade, Temple, Skull, Dial. And you could slot the Fate Of Atlantis adventure game in around Temple too if you wanted.
So that was my Indy journey. I’m happy I went on the nostalgia trip, and watched the new one. For years I haven’t really been watching movies. I’d like to do more of this. There are several other franchises that have new movies out in recent years that I haven’t watched. Ghostbusters Afterlife. The Matrix Ressurections. Terminator Dark Fate. Several Jurassic Park movies. Clerks 3. I want to go back and watch the old ones and then the new ones. I want to watch Conan movie with Momoa too, even if the reviews were awful. But first watch the two first Arnie ones. It’s a fun thing to watch the old stuff you love in preparation for the new chapters.
It’s something to do.
No more cosplays though.

I didn’t just get pepsi and groceries delivered today, also got pizza delivered. The new place uses a delivery platform where you can follow the delivery guy via gps. I like that. Even when it’s something good that’s being delivered, my anxieties always kick in when i’m expecting someone to come to my apartment. Being able to keep track and see exactly when they’ll be here helps with that. And it also tells you the name of the delivery person. Guess who delivered to me today? .. Lasse! Haha. I was half expecting a clone to show up at my door with a pizza. Unfortunately, it was not a close. Just another nice Lasse. It did make me think about how fun it would be if I had a clone army bringing me food every day. I wonder if Kamino delivers…

Good goat times today. Tiny bit warmer, with some sunshine. Nice to sit in the sun with the goats for a bit. I got warmed up by doing some goat exercise too. The kids started running around and I thought maybe I could get them all worked up so I ran around with them for a bit. And it worked, they started sprinting around. Lots of fun. Sky was sprinting up the hill at the goat house and went so fast that she kinda skidded along on her knees. I almost felt bad for laughing at her. But she was fine, just her dignity bruised a little. It’s hard to keep up with the yungins!
Jesper continued his work laying out the tiles, and we had visitors feeding and petting the goats again. The kids got to go on an egg hunt too, Sonja and Henrietta had layed several treats in the goat house. One egg was smashed though. Not sure how that happened. Certainly not pointing fingers at anyone. LUNA. Ahem. She’s still after the feathers when they come near her soemtimes. Sometimes I’ll sit with her on my lap and one of the feathers will pass by us on the ground below and she’ll swing her head like she’s trying to hit them down on the ground. Oh dear. She leaves them alone most of the time though. And they clearly know to be careful around her. While with Sky they can literally eat from the same food bowl as her in the morning. No danger from her.

Visitors today. The lady there with Jeanette comes by often with her kids, not sure if she’s a teacher at the school or if she’s a daycare or other sort of thing. But she’s really nice, she laughs a lot and likes the animals and taking the kids in to see them. Nice to see Sky getting some love there too. She will often hang back and stay with me, while Bella and Luna will immediately run to the visitors because they’re eager to get the carrot snacks that Jeanette prepares for visitors to hand out. Sky isn’t so eager for that. Jeanette will usually come over and see if she wants some, sometimes she’ll take some, sometimes not. Carrots aren’t her favourite snack.

I don’t know if you know this about me, but gosh darned I love Ghostbusters.
It’s been a long time since I last watched it, probably a decade. But I have watched it many times. I loved it when I was a kid. I think I was a little scared of it the first time I saw it, I remember that opening with the librarian ghost scaring me. And there was definitely stuff that went over my… head. But I loved it and had it on VHS and watched it many times.
And rewatching it today, Friday the 13th, was great. Just like Raiders Of The Lost Ark, it just holds up. It’s just so good. It just works, all of it. I wouldn’t change a thing. There’s just something about those old movies. The combination of nostalgia and the slower pace, the practical effects.. are they practical in Ghostbusters? Or is that.. a form of digital. But, not CGI is what I mean. You know if they made it today it would all be CGI and some of it would undoubtedly look more realistic, but it would also just be.. so CGI. It would move fast and it would all be different. The old movies just have to move in another way. The gargoyle dog things, you can see it’s stop-motion. But I still vastly prefer that to most modern CGI effects. If you made it today it wouldn’t be as good. Ahem. I haven’t watched the reboot. I don’t have a problem with an all female Ghostbusters cast, but I have a problem with them rebooting it and using the same title. Thankfully the reviews were so bad I don’t have to feel guilty about skipping it.
The whole cast of the original is just fantastic. But watching it again now I really appreciate Rick Moranis even more. I just love him in this. He’s so oddd and funny, annoying yet endearing. The gatekeeper and the keymaster, I just love it. There’s a couple of scenes where Moranis and Sigourney Weaver are out in the hallway and it just made me think how much I want a sitcom of those two living in the apartment building, like Seinfeld and Kramer.
I played the old Commodore 64 game Ghostbusters too, although I was bad at it. But I still recall outfitting the car and driving around and trying to catch ghosts. It’s one of the big C64 games.
Next up is Ghostbusters 2, which I have watched a lot less and barely remember. I know it’s considered considerably worse. I think I convincced myself that I liked it back in the day. We’ll see, but I’m looking forward to Afterlife.

There goes the path. I think Jesper is done with it. There are a few blocks left over, Jeanette said something about maybe putting them out right outside the goat house. We’ll see. I know Jesper was putting out sand too, hopefully the gaps won’t get too muddy. We’ll see how it all works when the weather gets wetter.

Here are the leftover pavement tiles. Jeanette may still take some or all of them and put them right outside the goat house. She did find an old pallet in one of the other animal houses. Brought it to the goat house. And asked me if I wanted to mess around with it. I’m glad I get to have some say and be heard and the chance to do things. I like finding stuff an apprropriating it for the goats. I put the new pallet under the tiles that Luna is standing on. To get some extra height to the few remaining tiles. Since Bella no longer seems to want to sit in the hay box, I left it turned upside down there. More stuff to jump around on.
