I managed to talk to Trine at TMU today. And got my schedule changed.

No more Mondays off. That is kinda sad, cause there is nothing worse than a Monday morning. But on the plus side my hours have changed from 9-14 to 9.30-13. And still Wednesday off. So I get to sleep an hour longer in the morning. That’s nice. Hopefully that will help a little. I have missed some days lately and then there was easter and then the med thing and so on and so forth. So now it’s time to shape up and give it a 100 percent and other such inspirational phrases.

With all the grim things in the world, let’s have some happy goats.

They always have a good time. A video of Vanilje (mostly): http://youtube.com/watch?v=ilxZQyaHRl4. Different scenes. Not a lot of action. But slow grazing and chewing. And some dancing on two feet. Plus a funny ending where Magnethe and Vanilje team up and chase one of the lambs away. Good fun. If the video isn’t live on youtube then try it again later.

Speaking of happy animals, here is a video I like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tn5FHLk6Lw. It is a happy duckling swimming in a sink. Sweet and squeaky.

Thank heaven for small wonders.

From The Frying Pan

April 16th, 2007

Holy Moly. Someone pushed the summer button today. Surely the hottest day of the year so far. Not a cloud to be seen.

goats sheep

Almost too hot for me. But then I took off my jacket and sat down in the shade with Mads.

And then it was okay.

Winter seems far away. In both directions.

lamb

I love the tired looks of the lambs. Like they just woke up. Or are falling asleep. I do believe that is Dotty.

magnethe

That is definitely Magnethe, grazing. I went and got her a bucket of water. She was sort of wheezing? And with her tongue out. Like a dog, you know? Seemed to me that she could use something to drink. I almost felt like drinking from the bucket myself. Sweet, cold water. Luckily I had brought a bottle of lemonade so I didn’t have to fight the goats for the water. I did have to keep Mads off my bottle though.

vanilje

Vanilje. I like her shadow.

And that about sums up my day. Most likely my last Monday off. Tomorrow I really have to talk to Trine at TMU about my schedule. Less hours per day, no Monday off. That’s the plan.
