Well that was.. weird. And a little scary.
I am not sure what hapened to me. I think.. I may have blacked out? Or something.
I found myself walking home with two trashbags and not really knowing where I was going or had been. I got up to my apartment and sat down and had to spend like 15-20 minutes just sitting there thinking, trying to find my way back into my head. I actually went and checked teletext on the tv to see what day it was…
I felt like I had been shopping, but I didn’t have any goods. And I had my trash that I normally throw out on my way to the supermarket. Felt really weird and disconcerting.
I had to piece it all together again. Tuesday. I had been to see the goats. Yeah. I hadn’t spent as long as I usually do, because it was raining so much. But I had been there, sat with them inside. I talked to Jeanette when I left, we’re getting ready to go get the bench at the old place and we’d discussed that.
And then I walked home in the rain. Down the paths. Got to my block. Up the stairs. Put the mp3 player and camera away. Got my bags of trash. Down the stairs. I’d checked the mail down in the hall, there was a pamphlet that I threw out. And then I got out and walked along the building and then… I don’t know.
The dumpster where I get rid of the trash is about halfway between my house and the supermarket. It’s just a minute’s walk if that. But I guess I didn’t make it that far. I have no idea why I turned around and walked up to my apartment. It’s just a fog. I felt like I’d been shopping. Or. I don’t know. I felt I didn’t know what to do next. I usually have my days planned out in advance, I need structure. Because of my eyesight and anxieities I don’t usualyl do things spontaneously. I felt like i had been picked out of my schedule and thrown back in randomly. I didn’t really know how to proceed now.
Very odd and unpleasant. But eventually I figured, well I don’t have any of the stuff I need to buy and I got these bags of trash, so I guess I gotta go out. Again. And I went and dumped the trash and went shopping and it all went fine. And I’m feeling pretty fine now. Just that odd feeling of.. what the heck happened.
My blood sugar is fine. Feel fine. Maybe a little groggy. I wonder if it’s brain fog, if i’ve had a bit of covid after all. A couple of weeks ago now I had that week i had to stay home. It just felt like a pretty normal cold. And then a few days ago I mentioned I felt the cough was coming back and my nose was starting to run again. But that never really got worse and just went away. But I don’t know. Maybe I’ve had some mild covid and this was some of that brain fog you hear people have in longterm complications. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just going crazy.
It was cold and rainy and I did get soaked and wasn’t wearing appropriate clothing. But you wouldn’t think that would just short-circuit your brain. Because that’s kind of what it feels like happened.
Well it semes like I’ve been able to type this out coherently, so I’m probably okay. Maybe it was just a glitch in the system. Maybe they rebooted my server of the simulation. I don’t know.
Probably fine.
But kind of weird and scary for a bit.

Milo wishes to register a complaint, RE: The weather

Just noticed, we passed 30,000 followers on Mia’s page. Not bad, not bad. The page readch was going down for a while, but then it started going up again, now it’s almost at 2½ million people for the last month. There’s 3-4 videos that are getting constant new comments. If I’m not able to look at it for a day then there are so many comments that I just have to give up going through them all. I try to keep moderating them to weed out the inappropriate stuff that some people post, thankfully there isn’t too much of that. But yeah if I get up in the morning I just can’t go through hundreds and hundreds of comments on several videos. There’s a lot of comments there aren’t in English too. So if I want to read them I have to wait for the translate button to do its thing. It’s super fun to get so much attention but it’s also a bit exhausting. I can only imagine what it’s like on the really big pages, like Esther’s. Of cours they hire, or volunteer, people to help manage that.
Anyway. 30,000. Whodathunkit. I’m just happy to be able to spread some goat love and positivity, it feels good. And of course it has made me some great friends who have moved over here to my personal page too. I am extremely thankful for that.

Good news everyone! I guess I should start with the tldr.
We got a new home for Sassy, Lily and Nuller. That is the important part.
It was starting to look a bit dicey. The horses are coming back tomorrow as I understand it. And snl has to go. As I walked home today I actually thought I would be updating with mostly bad news. But then I got a call..
Well, I’m just going to tell you how the day went. If you want the tldr tldr check the first comment.
So I went and hung out with Mia, Milo and Sky. We had some fun. Sky had the zoomies and she was running up that goat hill and then up the ramp and then back and forth, up and down. She was panting with exertion. Little cutie.
Today was the day we were going to go to the old place to pick up the bench. We went off, me and Jeanette and Isaac. I am not sure i’m spelling his name right. He’s very cool. Super chill and laid back. He’s got a soft and mellow and really calm voice. Slow. He sounds like if there was a fire he’d just calmly, slowly, with a soft voice whisper… fire. Haha. I like him. He works indoor at the playground so I haven’t seen him much, but I remember Maja said he’d let the goats out for her because she wasn’t feeling so comfortable iwth it, so I guess he’s been around the goats a little at least.
We went off in Jeanette’s car, trailer attached at the back. We did take a wrong turn but eventually we found our way to the old playground. I said hello to snl, while Jeanette and Isaac lifted the bench out to the trailer, and we got the big black tub and a smaller through too. I thought about maybe bringing some more stuff, but it was a small trailer and I figured we’d leave it at that.
I felt a little bad about taking that stuff away from snl. But, first I don’t think they used the bench. Whenever I’ve been to see them after mms moved they have been sitting together inside the goat house.
And also, they wouldn’t have much time to use it now anyway. Since their deadline is pretty much up.
I talked to Lars and he said they’d found a farmer who was going to take them, but it fell through. And they were pretty much out of options. Again, the horses due to arrive back tomorrow. And they are not allowed to have that many animals. So. It was kind of dire. At this point I brought up my friend Angeline. Some of you know her on here too. She is super nice and she has an animal sanctuary. And we had previously talked about how she might come and get them as a last resort, if no other options were left. It would be very impractical, I believe she’s in Belgium. I think sh told me it would take her something like 8 hours to get to us and then the poor goats would have to be transported for 8 hours back. It would not be good for anyone and I don’t even know if Angeline would still be willing or able to do that. But as we were riding back in the car I thought I’d have to get in touch with Angeline and find out when I got home, because Lars let me know that unless they found something pretty much right away, then snl would be facing slaughter. I know, don’t even get me started ranting about that. Awful. We talked about it in the car, Jeanette was agreeing how awful it was. She can’t stand people who get animals and don’t feel responsible to take care of them in the longterm, she said. And then she brought up her neighbours. They had had goats before. The scary part is that their goats had all died from a parasite attack. Which is not the greatest thing to hear… but they’re good people, they still have animals. Mini horses amongst others. And Jeanette said she’d ask them if they felt up for having goats again. She said she’d try to find out today or tomorrow so I could know if I had to try and see if Angeline was still an option.
I got home and took a shower and missed a called. Checked my messages, it was Jeanette. She’d been in touch with her neighbours and they want the goats! In fact they had seemed eager to have them, Jeantte hadn’t needed to do any ‘negotiating’ or convincing. So Jeanette has given their information to Lars, at the old place. And they’re going to work out the gransfer. Presumeable next week. I am not sure I will be involved in the move. Jeanette said that she had pretty much left us out of it now, the family and the old place is going to work out the logistics and that will be that.
I am just relieved that they’re going to have a good home. That is the important thing now, because we were getting close to a bad ending. Jeanette lives out in the country, there is not easy access by bus. And you know, it’s a private family. So I am not going to be able to just go visit. Jeanette said we might be able to arrange a visit so I can see where they’re living, but I don’t know if that will happen or if there will be more opportunities. I’m going to have to process my feelings about his, because not being able to see Sassy, Lily and Nuller is a very sad thing. But right now I’m just.. focusing on making sure they get to live. That’s most important. And it sounds like they’ll get to live with a family that’s used to having animals and are happy to have them. They’re not going to be tossed away or just live on some farm with no human closeness.
So yeah. I’ve known for a while that the chances of me still being able to see them were extremely low. I have had some time to adjust. I really wish we could have had all 6 at the new place. I really miss having that big group and all the fun that bring, all the love to give to all the goats. It’s hard to have to say goodbye. But it would be unbearable if they had been sent to slaughter. I know Lars did not want to do that, but I also have more and more been getting the feeling that.. he would have done it if he had to. I know we all have very different feelings about it all, but that’s what it is.
So hopefully that will all work out well. I could tell Jeanette was happy to give me the news. After I’d heard the message I called her up to thank her and we talked for a bit. She was happy to be able to give me the good news and she knew I’d be relieved. I am more happy than ever that we found our way into her presence and friendship. She’s been nothing but great. I fordgot to mention on Tuesday, in the rain, I was sitting inside with the goats. On the floor. And she called out to us and asked if I wanted her to bring a chair. Now I’m happy to sit on the floor and get dirty so I told her that she didn’t have to. But it just shows how nice and caring she is. She clearly wants the best for the goats, and for me too. I appreciate that a lot. It makes me feel that Mia, Milo and Sky are at their right place now, where they will be cared for well, and for their whole lives.
So yes, that was a big day. Did some tricky stuff, out socializing and doing stuff. Had to overcome my anxiety and go back in and talk to Lars a second time to make sure I had his number and everyhing in case I needed to get him and Angeline in touch. It’s always hard overcoming all my natural instincts to just run away. It’s not fight or fight, it’s talk or flight. But I always want flight. I’m glad sometimes I manage to do the right thing. It’s easier when you have nice people like Jeanette and Isaac on your side.
We got the bench and stuff back to the new place. I decide to go home then, since it had been a big day taking a lot out of me, and since I’d already had to put Mia inside once when we left to go get the stuff, I didn’t want to have to put her through the stress of it again once more so soon. So I let Jeanette let her out after I was gone. Would have been fun to see her reaction to seeing the bench again and the tub, she loves jumping up on that. But it’s just nice to have them back and we’ll get more time sitting together on that rickety old bench. An old goat and her old goatman on the old goat bench. I’m thankful the new playground wanted to help with that, it’s not like they had any obligation.
hooves crossed snl will be moved without problems and have a good life with good people. I’ve been feeling a lot of depression lately, maybe a good resolution for those 3 will help ease my mind. Although the missing them will probably not help. I am not sure when the move will happen exactly, I’ll have to try and see if I can get to spend a little time with them beforehand. I’ll do my best.
Send all your good thoughts for it all to go as well as possible. It was getting close to a bad ending, hopefully it will be a good one now.

Here is Isaac and Jeanette, having loaded the bench onto the trailer, the tubs waiting their turn.
I sure am glad I talked about snl’s situation during the ride and that Jeanette wanted to help. It was sweet talking to her on the phone later, I could hear how happy she was to be able to make me happy with the news and how it meant something to her to be able to do that for me, and the goats. I am thankful that she cares about us old goats.

Some details from yesterday’s roadtrip.
When we got to the old playground and went inside to get the key to the goat gate (since I’d given mine back to Lars a week or so ago) we talked a little to a couple of the ladies who work there and were sitting inside. The first thing they asked was “How’s number 18 doing?!”. Apprently they have been a little concerned. I remember on the day we did the big move of mms, Anne had said how relieved she was that I’d gotten them to take Milo, she’d been worried they wouldn’t be able to find a home for him because he can be a little .. bandity. Well, he’s doing well at the new place. Jeanette seemed surprised that they were even concerned. She is aware that she has to be observant when they let kids into the pen with the goats, you kinda have to give Milo extra attention and cuddles. He doesn’t always like kids petting, especially if they touch him around the hind legs. He doesn’t like when I do it either. You know he has those ‘leg beards’ as I call them. If I try to touch those he will swing his head to knock me away.
But anyway, one of the ladies at the old playground said he doesn’t like kids and because she’s pretty short he’d been after her too, and she’d been knocked on the ground a couple of times by him! Wow. I had never heard of that before. I’ve seen him swing his head around when he doesn’t want to be touched, but that he’d knocked someone over, I would not have thought that! I’m pretty short, good thing he doesn’t mind me! And Jeanette wasn’t bothered, she seems to have a good handle on him too. So that’s something.
And then when we had talked about that another lady said “But Mia is sooo sweet, isn’t she? We really miss her”. Yeah. Everyone loves Mia. I definitely did not lie when I convinced them to take Mia, she’s a big lovebug and perfect petting goat.
Jeanette also told them about how the goats love me, and how they stand and wait for me when I’m not there and how they start bleating for me like a minute before I get there, like they know I’m coming from afar. Really sweet. You know I don’t have an easy time seeig qualities in myself, but my relationship with the goats is something I am proud of, for lack of a better word. I’m short but Milo doesn’t want to knock me out, that speaks well for me!
I have not heard anything new today. I have been home relaxing. It’s been.. a tough time. I assume no news is good news, snl should be moved next week. Hooves crossed it will all go well. Those 3 are very sociable goats too. In some ways they are cuddlier than Milo and Sky. MS like being petted, but snl really like just standing there while you just hug them tight and hang on to them. You can’t quite do that with Milo and Sky. They like being petted, but not held tight. I’m going to miss the double hugs with Lily and Nuller. Between two goats. Sassy doesn’t seek out the hugs as much, but if you give them to her she will stand there and enjoy it. Yeah, it’s really sad that I will not be able to just sit around with them. But I am happy they will get to live and be well.
Okay, I’ll stop blabbering now. Hey thanks all as always for listening and caring and showing love for me and the goats. You keep me hanging on.

Not feeling super well mentally right now, feeling cold and sad but hanging in there. I need the snl thing to go through, I can’t shake the irrational fear that the move will fall through for some reason. I just need it to work out.

Urk. I was getting ready to leave to go see the goats. And then my tummy exploded, more or less. Feeling okay other than that, but don’t feel like going out right now. I think the goats will have to wait. Might have been something I ate. Hopefully I’m not getting sick again. Send Nurse Bell to my room, please.

Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. I could have thought it was still summer if it wasn’t for the cold morning. It was lovely in the sunshine though. Eventually upwards of 15C/59F. And that’s about the maximum we’ll be getting now. It will get even colder soon. But still, as long as the sun shines it’s still lovely.
And in the goat pen, it looks like the stuff Jesper has been working on is done. Construction complete. A couple of platforms with some shelter. There’s a ramp leading up to the platform but… it’s too steep. Well, Sky managed to jump up and climb the ramp and got up on top of the platform! Aw, she’s a little mountain goat. But there’s no way Mia is going to be able to get up top. Too much junk in that goat trunk. Hmm.
Well, Jeanette had noticed the steepness too and we talked a bit about it. It hadn’t been her idea to make them so steep. We discussed if maybe making the ramps less steep would be possible, but I’m not sure if they can actually be moved and changed. I said, maybe put another less steep one on the other side. To which she replied “oh you’re so smart!”. Haha, yes yes. I’m a good boy *wags tail*!”. Haha. Well we’ll see. If their intention is to have the goats jump up top on the platform they’ll need to do something, change the ramps or add others. We’ll see if that happens. They’re still nice additions to the goat pen. The goats love scratching their bodies against the woodwork. And it’s a nice place to sit under on a sunny day. I’m not sure exactly how much shelter they would give on a rainy day. I think the goats may still prefer to sit in the goat house if it rains, but we’ll see about that too. I told Jeanette that it would be nice to add some pavement tiles underneath, because the goats love sitting on those and it’s good for their hooves to walk on. So she made a mental note of that and said she’d inquire. Talking about pavement tiles reminded me of the old pen and the things we were supposed to get from there. I asked about that, but Jeanette hadn’t heard anything about it. I told her that both Malene and Lars had said we could bring the bench. I told her how it had moved with us from Bispehaven where Mia was born to Kappelvænget and she agreed it would be neat to have it follow us to Gellerup too. I’d also like to maybe grab some pavement tiles there, at least the ones that aren’t fixed solidly in the ground by now. And that big black trough that they like to jump up on. I figure that could go beneath the tree and help them reach higher leaves. Well, I think Jeanette and I may go to the old place next week to collect some of that. She said she wasn’t good at backing the car up with the trailer, but we could drive there with the trailer and unhook it and move it by hand and get the stuff onboard and bring it to the new place. Hooves crossed we can do that together next week. that would be nice.
That black trough or tub, I like that too because it’s easy to move around and place my camera on. Speaking of, today I brought my old tripod for the first time since the move. It’s a cheap rickety one. But by now MMS are settled in so well that I figured I could begin to do a little filming of us just sitting around, especially on such a nice sunny day. And that was nice. But of course that also meant the continuation of that classic old saga. Milo vs camera. Had to run some interference a few times to get him away from the camera when I had it set up. At one point I had been filming for a few minutes of me sitting with Mia after I’d gotten him away from the camera. Well, when I went to turn off the camera I discovered he had actually managed to swivel the camera so all the film was just bushes and greens. Sheesh. Why is he scared of evertything BUT the camera?! Oh boy.
It was a nice day though. Some kids visiting the fence. Jeanette told me that she’d had kids in the pen again while I wasn’ there and that it had gone well. But she’s mindful that it helps giving Milo a lot of cuddles to distract him a bit, giving him attention helps everyone get along. And I had other nice talks with Jeanette, she remarked that I hadn’t been there Monday and I told her I had been about to leave home when I felt bad. And we talked about my eyesight issues too and how I was coping with that all and things like that. She asked if there were any operations I could get to help me. Nope. I can only hope for things not to get worse too soon. But again, she is so nice to talk to and she’s really mindful of the goats and their needs and mine too.
I asked her if they had given up the plans to mend the fence to stop Mia jumping over. She said that from what she’d heard it wasn’t deemed necessary anymore. Well yeah, that’s because I’ve been dragging in Mia and locking her up everytime I leave… it’s a little stressful on me, and the goats too I think. Well, we decided that she should be there in the pen when I left today to see if she could keep them calm and see how that would go. I haven’t actually tried leaving without locking Mia in since the first week. One could hope now that they’ve settled in so well she wouldn’t feel the need to escape and follow me.
Well, we tried. I am not sure how well it went. I could hear all the goats hollering like mad as I left, and I could hear Jeanette try to calm and preoccupy them. I figured I’d better just walk away as quick as possible and not turn back, because that would only make things worse. So, I don’t actually know if she managed to stop Mia from jumping over the fence. I am pretty sure if Jeanette wasn’t there Mia still would jump over though. So, I still hope they’ll want to try to fix the fence up. I guess we’ll see. There is still room for improvement. But I still get the feeling they are really happy to have the goats and willing to work on improving the things that need it. I am very happy that things turned out like this for MMS, not least because of Jeanette and how well we are clicking. Just need resolution for SNL too, I’m getting worried about that. But we’l see, we’ll see, we’ll see.

Look at Sky! She definitely are the champions! As I said in my goat day post, she really surprised me by getting up there. The ramp is way too steep for Mia, and even for Milo and Sky it’s tricky. There’s the same kind of steep ramp on the other platform and Sky tried getting up there too but only made it about halfway. We’ll see if they’re going to make it less steep or add another ramp or whatever. Otherwise the goats will be spending considerably more time BENEATH it than on top of it. But it’s still a nice place to sit and a good place to scratch your bum on. The goats, not me.

Sky, very proud of herself. And rightly so.

Sky is on lookout duty.
It IS a bit high. Maybe it would be possible to lower the platform somewhat and make the ramp less steep. Well we’ll see I guess.

Oh boy, good news for me! I just got my yearly status for the utilities bill. As I mentioned recently I was very worried about this. I pay an estimated amount each month and then once a year it’s added up to see if I paid too much too little. And I was so worried that I would get a big bill because of the rise in heating and energy costs because of .. you know. The world. But I’m getting money back. Not quite as much as the previous two years. But still a fair little amount. And most importantly, not a big bill. What a load off my mind. I still have to be careful, it only covers up to the end of June. So the increased energy costs the last two months aren’t factored into this. Next year might be considerably worse. But hey, that’s a problem for Future Lasse. Present Lasse is just happy that he can still afford pizza. Thank goodness. Won’t have to cut the goat treat budget either. Phew.
Now I gotta go wipe off the cold sweat that sprung as I opened the email to check the budget.

Good goat timest today. Double duty, new place first then the old. All in a day’s work.
No Jeanette today. She only works 3 days a week. I have kind of been patterning my own visits after when she’s there because I just like being around her too. as well as the goats. Today it was Maja on duty, and she’s very nice too. But I think she’s a little more introverted than Jeanette, and two introverts don’t make for as much chatting. She’s very sweet and nice, but we don’t talk as much. I think she’s also not quite as comfortable with the goats. The couple of times I have been there on her days, teh goats haven’t been out yet when I got there. And she’s generally not around as much as Jeanette is on her days. And I heard her tell Malene as much, that she wasn’t as comfortable with the goats and that a guy, I think called Isaac?, had been letting them out. Apparently he’s ‘the goat whisperer’. Pfft, whatever. I’ll let them think that. We all know who the real goat whisperer is.
Haha. Oh yeah, Malene was there. Nice to see her again. The first thing she said as she came to the fence, after greeting me, was ‘oh those ramps are way too steep’. Oh yeah. Well it’s good they realise it. Hopefully it can get fixed. Jeanette told me the other day that Jesper the handyman was busy at another place he works, so it might take a while. But hopefully it will get fixed. Although Sky showed again today that she can conquer the left platform. It’s less steep than the right one. and she can make it up there with some effort. I suppose Milo could too then, but he doesn’t seem interested in trying. More scaredy cat then muntain goat, that boy.
Well, it was a nice time and another sunny day.
Then off to check on the newbs. They were in good spirits, thankfully. Since I no longer have the key to the gate, I approached the fence next to the goat house instead of where I usually arrive at the far end of the pen. They couldn’t see me from inside the goat house were they were resting, but after a bit of bleating back and forth they came out. And I climbed over the fence. And it just so happened that just then a daycare lady with some kids came by the fence, over by the gate. So I walked over there and got the goats to follow. They hadn’t wanted to get out of the goat house before I arrived, so the visitors were lucky. And the kids got to pet the goats. And I talked a bit to the lady. She asked if there didn’t use to be more goats and hadn’t there been horses once? So I told her all about what was going on. And she asked “whose decision was THAT?” in a slightly disapproving voice. Not mine, lady. That’s for sure. Some of the younger people using the playground and club will be happy to have the horses back, but there will definitely be people missing the goats. All the people passing through especially. I told the lady where the 3 other goats had moved to and she thanked me a lot for that and said she’d try and come by there, so maybe we’d meet again. She was very nice.
And then, a lot of cuddling with Sassy, Lily and Nuller. All in a cuddly mood today. It was so sweet, but it also made me so sad. I try not to think of it, but it’s just so unfair. I miss them. I miss having all 6 together. I miss all the cuddles and group dynamics. I miss the way things used to be. And as I’ve said before, I feel so guilty. I know it’s not my choice, but I can’t help feeling it’s something I’M doing to THEM.
I have been feeling really depressed around last weekend and the beginning of this week. I think it was the ‘the deadline is approaching fast’ thing that Lars told me. Got me extra down. I didn’t talk to him today, but he’s got my number now so I assume I’ll hear from him when there are news. It just sucks. Sometimes life blindsides you. A couple of months ago I had no idea how everything was about to change. I’m trying to focus on being happy for MMS and how good they have it now. But it’s just hard not being sad too.
Well, there was a lot of good goating today, so I try to focus on that. One day a day.

The newbs entertaining at the fence.

The newbs were in good spirits and seemed to do well. There was however a lot of noise in the stables building next to them. At one point a loud saw thing went off and Sassy quickly retreated to underneath the goat house. It’s sort of funny that this is the spot Sky would beeline to when she wanted to be safe from especially Sassy. But when things get real dicey they all seek refuge there.

Once again Sky is on top of the world, and the little people can only look up with envy.

Hanging out with the newbs. It’s a quite unflattering photo for my personage, but i wanted one with me and the gang.
I also was going to link the video I just posted on Mia’s page from the visit today, but for some reason no posts on the page are loading so.. if you want to watch the newbs you’ll have to go check yourself I guess.

Good goat times today. Fair bit of sun, nice and comfortable fall day.
It was a Jeanette day today, so I asked her how it had gone on Tuesday, when we did our little experiment of her staying in the goat pen when I left to try and see if that would help the goats cope.
She said it had actually been pretty unpleasant. Mia had kept trying to jump the fence, so she had had to keep getting in the way, and they’d all been screaming after me. So, it does not seem like Mia is going to have less seperation anxiety even though they have settled in well by now. So I’ll have to keep locking them up when I leave. Hopefully the idea of mending the fences is back on. When I left yesterday I locked them up and told Malene to let them out when I was gone. She seemed surprised to learn that Mia would still jump the fence. Hopefully now they are aware again and we can get the fences heightened, along with the ramps to the platforms un-steeped. It’s a stress on me and the goats when I have to lock them up. They are not dumb. They know exactly what’s up when I try to lure them inside. The only time they won’t come running for a treat is when they know i’m trying to get them to go somewhere they don’t want to be. Sigh.
But it was a nice day other than that. Jeanette had brought some trimmings from her own place and the goats enjoyed the nice leaves and branches. And we had some visitors, a couple of kids came into the pen to meet the goats. Very sweet. And then a guy recognised me. “Oh, the camera man is back!”. He remembered me from Bispehaven. The old old place. Apparently he had seen me a lot back then. I’m nto sure if we ever spoke or met really, I can’t recognise faces anymore and my memory is bad. But I had left an impression on him I guess. And we talked a bit about the goats and the playgrounds. Very nice.

Hello goat!
A little visitor saying hi.

Sigh. In less good news… I have started coughing and my nose is running.
I’m feeling completely fine actually. But I have been coughing enough that I can’t write it off as just random. Yesterday when I rode the bus to see the news, a lady was coughing right next to me. I BET IT WAS HER. Ugh. Well I guess we’ll see how it goes. I just got better from the thing a week or two ago with my throat.
Maybe this won’t get worse. Maybe it’ll be fine. i definitely won’t be spending the weekend coughing and snotting and feeling miserable, that’s for sure!
Sigh. Send soup.

The three, digging into the trimmings that Jeanette brought from home. She told me she had googled some stuff before bringing it to see if it was okay for the goats to have it. i appreciate she cares about the goats.

Well I suppose I should share some better news. My brother had a checkup at the hospital and apparently all the tests were good, all the values were great, blood pressure, kidneys all that. So that’s super. He might be the healthiest of us now, despite the transplant and all. But we’re dragging ourselves along, as best we can.

how am I doing? Better, I think. Coughing a little. But my nose isn’t running. I feel like I’m a little better than yesterday, and I was fine other than the coughing and slightly runny nose yesterday. So that’s good. I had kinda thought I’d wake up and have a real cold today. But maybe I’ll be fine, just fine.
