Guess what I saw today?<\/p>\n
I saw a great, big goat yawn. And a beautiful one it was. Magnethe let one rip. I love goat yawns. They are so funny and sweet. But I see them very rarely. It’s been years since I saw a really good one last. Not since all the eyesight business started at least. Of course that could be partially explained by the fact that I don’t go see the goats as often as I used to and that my eyesight has been so bad for periods that I could easily have missed some. But even before the sight troubles I stil rarely caught one. I can probably count the ones I’ve seen on two hands. I mean the really big, open wide llama looking ones. Today I got a really wonderful one.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t all wonderful at the playground, though. Grethe was not feeling well. She’s been sick. When I got there she was lying down. And she didn’t even get up when she saw me. That’s how you know a goat isn’t feeling well. If they don’t come running to say hello then something is wrong. When the guy who was feeding them brought in a bucket of food she did get up and sniffed at it. But she didn’t eat anything. So Magnethe got all the food for herself. And did not object to that. A little later I went outside, and Grethe did follow me out. And she did nibble a little at some old bread I had brought. And she did walk around a little. So I think she’s getting better. I was told the vet would come check on her later. So I’m sure it’ll be okay. Hopefully she’ll be back to full strength again soon.<\/p>\n
Nice goats. And I met nice humans on the trip too. Like the bus driver who welcomed me with a “come inside where it’s warm”. And the old lady on the trip home who came over and asked if I didn’t want a seat. And the other old lady who asked me if I needed help getting up the stairs. Nice and helpful people. I almost feel bad for walking around with the filter glasses and the cane. Because my eyesight has improved enough now that I really don’t need help. But I do still need to signal that I am sight handicapped, and the cane is really good for that. I still half expect someone to come up and say “HEY YOU’RE NOT BLIND AT ALL”. But then I’m always afraid of getting accused of stuff, even when I haven’t done anything. I was the kind of kid who’d turn beet red if the teacher was asking the class who drew the penis on the chalkboard. Even if I had nothing to do with it. I’d do really poorly in a police lineup. “Well, I don’t recognise him but number 3 LOOKS really guilty, officer”. <\/p>\n
