Well, I was planning to write something about my mood. Causes and effects. But then I accidentally ran into Ghostbusters on the telly. And you know me, I can’t say no to Bill Murray. So now it’s late and the mood talk will have to wait.

Possibly to tomorrow. Although I’ll need to spend some time cleaning up the appartment too. I will be having my visitor on Monday. Two in fact. I talked to Trine at TMU about the whole thing. She’s the one who arranged the visitation application. And she asked if I wanted someone from TMU to be there the first time. So I thought that over. On one hand the more people the worse I generally feel. But then this visitor person is a complete stranger and it might help to have someone I already know there. That’s the conclusion I came to anyway. I know Trine from TMU and she is very sweet and friendly and supportive. So I hope that’ll make the first time easier. And then I think the plan is that the visitor guy will come once every two weeks and help keep me socially active.

Scary!

Had a nice time feeding the animals today. Brought some hazels and the goats were duly excited. Of course the goats are crazy about all food in general. But I can tell the hazels are among their top favourites.

Afterwards I sat down with Nina and enjoyed the thoughts of having my own cat soon.

She’s a sweetie. I wonder if the scent thing is going to be a problem. She likes rubbing up against me, making her marks. I wonder if I shouldn’t let her do that when I get my own kitty? Maybe some of my books can answer that.

C’est tout pour aujourdhui. Ah oui. Belle nuit.

It’s hazel time.

Hazel nuts have dropped from the big trees round the back of the playground. I found out by accident. I was sitting on the bench with the goats. And a boy came over and fed them something. I didn’t know what it was. But it was crunchy, I could hear that. At first I thought maybe it was hard noodles. But turned out to be hazels. So I went and gathered nuts. Filled up a plastic bag. And the goats went wild. They love their hazels. They could have emptied the entire bag if I’d let them. Especially Magnethe. She’s loves them, it’s like seeing a drug addict. More more more!

Even the buck loved them. Once he figured out that cracking them revelead a tasty inside. I love the sound of cracking nuts and crunchy chewings.

And the goats help my mood tremendously. It has been swinging lately. But it always swings up when I’m around them.

Here’s to goats.

I like my new camera so far. Apart from the video mode. If you record in highest quality then it can only do some 20 seconds. So I have to set it down to 15 fps instead of 30. Annoying, but live-with-able. What’s worse is that you can’t zoom when doing videos. Not optical zoom. You can only use digital zoom, and everyone knows digital zoom is horrid. It’s not acceptable quality-wise. So that’s a bummer. Now I’m wondering wether I should keep my old camera for making videos. Or try to sell it to get some cash. I’m not sure. I’ll ponder.

Now it’s the weekend, and all it brings. I’ll be feeding the animals tomorrow. I’ll bring a few hazels for them. Treats all around.
