Today will be a good day. Here’s Bruce and Clark, and Mio, from 2014.

\nGood goat times today. A cool and cloudy morning as I walked out. But the clouds soon disappeared and the day turned into another hot and sunny one. The goats were already out when I got to the playground. I realised that as I was walking along the fence of the horse pasture. I suddenly heard grandma Mio’s croaks from across the pasture. She spotted me coming. So I walked around the fence and around the building and got to the goat pen on the other side. By then Mia was up on the bench, practically trying to jump into the horse pasture, bleating after me. It’s nice to feel welcome.
\nAnd then I let them out and enjoyed the sun and green leaves. “It almost hard to believe we’re in Denmark” Finbarr said. This summer sure has been different from the last one. Almost constant sunshine. I approve.
\nAfter the bellies were filled with green we retired back to the goat pen for sweet relaxation. A grandmother with 4 grandchildren came by. I was sitting in the goat house with the goats, so I knew I had to get up and go over to the visitors. When people come to the fence they’d like to see the goats up close. But the goats will usually stick with me. So over to the fence I went, and the goats followed and everyone had a good time. I chatted a little with the grandmother as the kids fed the goats with fresh leaves. Guess the bellies weren’t completely full after all. Then the humans left to go see the baby bunnies. They came back a little later, and this time I didn’t need to be a pied piper of goats. Mia saw them coming and RAN over to the fence. Once they have identified you as carriers of food you are suddenly very good company in their book. More greens for the goats, and more fun for the kids.
\nLater on Anne was nice enough to come warn me. “I know you have some social anxiety so I just thought i’d let you know that there’s a huge group of school children coming by later”. Nice of her to let me know. It’s nice that there are people who understand me and my oddities. Anne has been pretty open with me about the fact she has some autism issues. On the spectrum? Maybe, I’m not sure exactly how to say it. But she has her own things, and we all have our things and being understood makes it all easier.
\nI made my escape before we were invaded by school kids. I was also pretty tired in the sunshine. Still feeling a little bit off, although I think it’s getting better. Oh and I got to say hi to Ophelia as she was arriving just before I left. It’s been a long time since I saw her last, so it was nice to get a quick hello. It’s nice being part of the place like that. Finbarr usually comes out and says hi too, he doesn’t deal much with the animals so he asks how they’re doing and he comments about Mia’s page too. I gave him one of our ‘business cards’ so he follows along there.
\nNow if you’ll excuse me, I need to fill my four stomachs.

\nWe encountered a very dangerous tiger today. Luckily the goats were there to protect me.
\nSome kind of carved figure. No idea why it was lying around outside the goat pen.

\n” Its goal is to \u201cbalance the interests of all parties involved in and affected by species and habitat listings\u2014including species themselves, private citizens, industry, local governments, public infrastructure projects, nonprofit organizations and other entities.\u201d ”
\nI sure am glad they included ‘species themselves’. Otherwise I might suggest they only care about industry, government, infrastructure, organizations and… ‘other entities’? There is no endangered wildlife, there is only Zuul.
\nDon’t worry. It’s only Fake News. Trump and his cohorts aren’t out to rape the world and burn it all down and maximise the profits. I am sure Trump will get around to posting an ALL CAPS warning to polluters not to ruin the environment any day now.
\nFuck the world, it lets you do that when you’re a star.
\nWe’re the good guys, Michael.

\nIt must have been really really hard for Noah, though, turning away all those poor kittens after he’d accepted the first two. If there’s one thing I think of when hearing about Noah’s ark, it’s all those drowning kittens.
