Normally I love listening to the sound of falling rain when I am lying in bed. But not when there is snow outside. Then it is a bad sound.

Most of the snow was gone this morning. Only little isolated patches remained.

Oh well. I am glad we got some. Finally the temperature is where it’s supposed to be in the winter. No more global warming talk for a while. And a good chance of more snow to come soon. Not too shabby.

And of course I had no problems getting the goats to come outside.

All I had to do was show up, basically.

A little snow they can stand.

Mads looking at Alice. She was talking to Ahmed. He is a new intern. He’s going to be there for a couple of months I think. I hope they have briefed him on the crazy goat guy so he knows what to expect.

Not that you would ever catch me doing anything crazy!

After the playgrounding I went on my merry way and purchased Friends.

The One With All 10 Seasons. Crazy! I am aware that not everyone loves Friends. But once upon a time I was isolated in my room with no human contact and the only friends I had were on TV. And Friends was one of those shows. So I am glad to have it on DVD now. Truth to be told I wouldn’t have bought it if I had had to pay for it myself. But my mother had spotted the box at a “special sale for you my friend” price and wanted to give it to me for my birthday. Thing is that she didn’t have time or money (she just bought a vacation for her and my dad in the summer) to get it right now. And it was a special offer, it was likely to sell out if she waited. So we struck a deal. I bought the box myself today and then on my birthday I’ll get the money refunded. Good deal as far as I’m concerned. I mean, there are 30 DVDs in that set. Even with the special sale price it still must be the most expensive present I have ever gotten.

And now I can stay in my room and watch Friends nonstop for the next 7-8 months. There’s no way that can’t be healthy. I are smart.

Well, well, well. What did Plume see when he looked out the window?

Plume saw the first snow of the year, he did. Plume is a happy boy.

Okay, it has stopped snowing now. And we didn’t get a huge amount. But any snow is good snow. I hope it will last a longly long time. Long enough for me to go out and play in it and rejuvenate my inner child.

Me -> community.livejournal.com/mutts_comics/304101.html. Totally so much me yes.

The goats probably won’t like it though. I bet they’ll stay inside. I’ll have to see if I can drag them out tomorrow. I’m sure they have some inner goat kids that need to frolick in the snow too.

The advantage of being inside is that Mads is more likely to get sleepy. When the wind is howling and it’s raining or snowing. Then there’s not much to do but eat. And when the food runs out, have a good relaxation session.

I still love sitting down with him.

Sleepy Mads and Sleepy Plume.

Meanwhile Magnethe was munching hay behind us. A nice calming, soundtrack.

You know what I like? I like when Magnethe’s tail wags back and forth. Today she was standing up against the wall and her tail started dashing around and banging against the wall. Too cute. She usually wags her tail when she sits down too. And if she happens to sit down against the wall or against a bucket then you get that same slapping sound. Too cute.

Also, a new video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=uMc1YMkScBQ. Mads and the lemonade bottle. See how his tongue starts darting out. The funny thing is that he is normally terrified of liquids. None of the goats like the rain, but Mads reeeally hates it. When I sit inside I am usually sitting close to their water bucket. And if I even move my hands towards it then Mads starts flinching and backs off. Even the idea of someone splashing water on him is horrible I can tell. But if it’s in a bottle then I guess it doesn’t scare him.

Another thing I like is the goats’ tongues. When they have had a treat then their tongues start darting out like that. Licking their lips. I often can’t stop myself from mimicking it. So I’ll start slapping my tongue around on my lips. I’m sure if anyone sees me doing that then they’ll think I’m crazy. But ah, goat see goat do.

That’s it. Tomorrow I’m going shopping for Friends. Ooh, cryptic!
