It’s been quite a lovely week. Lots of sunshine. Unfortunately I didn’t get to spend as much time in the sun with the goats as I had wanted to. I guess the playground staff were off on a course or something. For two days, at least. So I had to settle for some time inside with the goats on those days. And then on Thursday I had to stay home in the morning because we had people coming over to check on my storage unit. Did I mention that? My dad and I found weird stuff in my storage unit in the basement. What looked like several children’s blankets and some car parts? Maybe. And paperwork. And something that looked like a credit card application and a police summons. Yeah, not sure what that was all about. I’m glad we had the locks changed recently. One of the guys who came to help clear it out was the crazy chicken guy. He’s not crazy at all, he’s very nice. I don’t see him much at the playground anymore, but I see him around my neighbourhood occasionaly. I guess he works in the janitorial\/custodial department here. So I get to say hi to him once in a while and he asks about the goats sometimes. Especially when there are kids coming. Very nice.<\/p>\n

On the home front there have been some developments. First and foremost, I am apparently now a vegetarian. Three days and counting. I had been thinking about it for a long time. And gradually been cutting down on meat and psyching myself up. And then it just sort of happened. So far so good. I’ve cut down on salt too and eating less in general. More smaller meals, which I gather is the best way to go. Let’s hope so. I think I can make it. I still want mama’s soup in the winter, that will be the one cheat I will allow myself. Otherwise my ambition is to not eat meat. I might have setbacks of course. I’m not going to be too tough on myself or preachy about it or anything. I’m just going to try my best. I’m hoping eating more green, and less in general, will be good in my quest for health. But the vegetarian thing is more because I don’t want to eat animals. From an ethical\/psychological point of view etc. I feel like now is the time for me. <\/p>\n

Also, on Friday and Saturday both I had three-hour sessions on the exercise bike. Phew! Three hours is tough. My previous record was 150 minutes. My legs were continually cramping up yesterday, after the second session. I took a 40 minute casual ride today to warm up the legs and stretch them. Feeling okay. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep doing 3 hour rides, it’s still pretty damn rough. But I do want to push myself. On the eating and the biking. I’m happy with how it has gone so far. At least I’m doing stuff.<\/p>\n

But let’s get back to the goats.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Hi Palle!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Hi Mia!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Hi Bob!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Mia being cheeky!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Little Palle. He has lovely, shiny, soft fur.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Got a hold of him.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Hah, thought this was cute. Goats all over me.<\/p>\n

And video. Just one goatlog this time, because of the days with less goat time. Fitted three days into one goatlog. The usual fun shenanigans.
