I hope your today will be a good today. This is Mathilde. The mother of Magnethe. She was there at the beginning with Mads. When I met her she was afraid of humans. But slowly, with patience and treats, I befriended her. I still remember that time one of the playground workers said “she doesn’t trust anybody else like she trusts you”. That was one of the first times it dawned on me that this goat thing was.. maybe a thing for me. I had some worth after all.

\nGood goat times today. Some much needed goat therapy, even though things didn’t exactly go as planned. It was a beautiful, sunny morning. But cold. We’re below 50F now. That’s when it starts to hurt my skin. But the sun kept shining so it got more pleasant, as long as I didn’t stay in the shade too long.
\nThe goats were a little on edge already when I arrived. Fencework was in full swing, with men talking and machines making noise. Right outside their stable. They were inside, and quite concerned when I got there. Mia almost didn’t have time to give me a morning smooch. I had brought two pumpkins in order to do some Halloween celebration. But this failed completely. I don’t know if the pumpkins weren’t up to standard or if it was all the noise (machines in several directions and people working all over) but they didn’t want any of it all. Oh well. They also didn’t want tomatoes, and they’ve been turning down tomatoes a lot recently. Tomato season is almost over so maybe they just aren’t good enough. But I actually went shopping early this morning before heading to the goats, so the pumpkins and tomatoes were as fresh as I could get them. Maybe it’s just all the turmoil and changes.
\nThey did enjoy their regular treats and some banana. And pumpkin seeds. I walked around with them and tried to find somewhere nice to be. But they were alarmed by the machines. And then some kind of plastic tarp was blowing in the wind and scared the bajeesus out of them. I had them on leashes but Mio pulled the stake right out of the ground and ran for the hills. Leaving Mia behind hollering after us as I went to retrieve grandma. Oh dear. Yes, it was a bit stressful for the poor goaties. But eventually we did find a nice, quiet place where there was even some grass that was good enough for grazing, and leaves on the trees. So that was pretty good. I think they forgave me for the times I laughed at them for being fraidycats. There was time for cuddles and smoohes and treats as well and Mia sitting down to relax both on a table and in the sand pit. A terribly frightening Halloween indeed. But I needed the goating.

\nYeah, that’s as close as we got to a Halloween photo this year. Oh well. Good thing I chose two small pumpkins. If I’d carried one of the large ones all the way to the playground for nothing I would have been a little peeved. But then maybe they would have liked a big one better.

\nCalibrating. I am sorry, but the query “How many ice creams have Lasse eaten today” could not be computed, as the subject just retrieved two further iced creams from the freezer. Please rephrase your question in the form of a taunt or humorous put-down.

\nLots and lots of staring today. Staring at machines and people. And tarps blowing in the wind. And uncle’s treat pocket.
\nOh yeah, and notice the blue sky. Lovely.
\nI think some of the workers got a good laugh out of seeing me walk around with them. I did hear one of them ask Alice “Is that one pregnant?!”. Although he may have been talking about me.

\nWow, I’ve been subpoenaed. I have to appear in bed in 30 minutes to testify against the seven Dreamweb assassins. 20 year old Amiga references are still cool, right? I’m so hip. I’m gonna go get my crunk on and slap some Zs. See you later, alligators. In a while with a smile. Hopefully.

\nI had many wonderful dreams last night. I had another snow dream. That’s like 4 or 5 in a month. Where I am surprised to see snow because it’s not winter yet.
\nI thought, this must be a dream. But then I went outside and it was too real. I told myself, this can’t be a dream.
\nI ended up telling myself I would just go with it. I would go shopping (for candy, of course) and take snow photos. If it was a dream I’d wake up eventually. If it wasn’t a dream then I’d have snow photos to post on Facebook.
\nSo instead of snow photos you all get this thrilling post. Maybe when it starts snowing here I will start dreaming of sunshine.

\nHappy Halloween, witches.
\nUnder my new tax reform I’ll be taking 25% of your candy. And I’m not compromising.
