Can you believe, it’s been two weeks since I last posted pictures of the goats?! Whatta mistaka to make-a. I will now rectify this problem immediately.

There is Mads. You remember Mads? His tongue is poking out. That only happens when you hit the sweetest of the sweetest spots. I love scratching goats. Look at his eyes squinting heehee.

Thar be Magnethe. Shaking hands with the fence.

And Vanilje looking sweet.

A couple of kids at the fence. Vanilje walking up to see if there is any chance of food.

And a couple of parents introducing their little boy to Mads.

While Mads is away, Magnethe comes out to play. Up to the bench where I sit. Mads likes to jump all the way up on the bench and stand next to me. Magnethe usually just jumps up with her two front legs, keeping her back legs on the ground. That always presents her neck as an excellent scratching target.

More kids came, with branches and tasty leaves. Look at Vanilje’s eyes there, fixed firmly on the leaves. Mmm. And what cute spotted feet she has.

Mads taking his fair share. Well, fair by his standards. I have a feeling that Magnethe and Vanilje might not agree that it’s quite so fair. But none of them go hungry, that’s for sure!

I love them more than ever. They are so beautiful and sweet and funny. Maybe it’s my imagination, but I think I can tell that Magnethe is growing. How long before she has kids? A couple of months I think. She is wonderful. I can’t wait.

Happiness is a warm goat.

But don’t forget about my appartment. Are you tired of videos from it yet? If so, then skip this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mx5uVGCBzUk. Actually it is more about the music. The video itself is just 4 minutes of looking through my window. Unfortunately very compressed by youtube. But oh well, it’s a view. The wind in the trees and the kids playing. The music is another Smashing Pumpkins demo. Let Me Give The World To You. One of my favourite songs. Full of memories of my first times on the internet, of finding sp music. Of running my own mp3 site and just general mayhem and confusion. Those were the days. If you can stand Billy’s demo voice then check out the video and the song.

Also, today I finally managed to get into my storage room. Turns out I was missing this sort of wrench/key-majig that was needed to open the door. I called the housinge organization about it yesterday, and they promised to drop one off for me. And today it came through the mail slot. Have I mentioned that I like my mail slot? At the old house we have a mailbox but here it’s a slot in the door. And sometimes I’ll hear the sound of things being dropped through it. Today it was the key-thing. Yesterday evening an Ikea catalogue came. And of course sometimes nice pieces of mail. I got card from Skye, congratulating me on the move. Thank you! And today a note from the mail man that he had tried to deliver something from Corrie. Corrie and Skye, those were the days.

Anyway, that’s all for now. The goats say “hi”. And also “give me more raisins, Plume!”. But I’m not sure that message was for general distribution.

PS. “This here’s a new song called Plume”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ie8JFmu2GI. Plume live circa 92. Very raw, but it’s history it is.

I am tired. Sleep soon.

Today I got the bank stuff done. No worries. And I got myself a mini oven. So now I can bake, in theory. I also boiled eggs for the first time ever in the new appartment. That’s one of the nice things about moving out, suddenly lots of things are “for the first time”. Things you’ve done a million times before, but never in your own appartment.

Speaking of my own appartment, video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=U1BTyicfYx0. Two combined, from yesterday. First one is halfway through putting up the drapes. The rain outside. Unfortunately the rain doesn’t show up too well on the vid, so you can’t appreciate quite how nice it was. But it’s something. Second part of the video is with the drapes all up. Nice and dark. They aren’t fancy drapes really, I just wanted something fairly neutral that would keep out the sunshine and the peekers. I’m happy with them. And just for the benifit of Debster, there is a peek into the bathroom as well. If you watch carefully you might spot the goofball in the mirror… the music is a clip of my favourite song of the moment, Satellites. Some old Smashing Pumpkins demos were leaked recently. Satellites being one of them. It’s from the Adore era. Adore being my favourite album of all time. I am a sucker for Adore demos. Although Billy’s voice is an acquired taste, I realize. Anyway. Hope you enjoy the show. Pardon the mess. I had to take all the boxes down from the windows and I still haven’t figured out how to get into my storage room in the basement, so it’s all a bit messy at the moment. But now at least no one can see the mess through the windows!

Now me sleep yes.
