\nGood goat times today. But cold. It’s dropped from 10C\/50F to 5C\/41F. And that’s the drop that hurts. Literally hurts my skin. Time for gloves and bald cap I guess.
\nI had an appointment at the eye doc in the morning. The halfyearly exam. Nothing new. Things are stable. No news is good news when it comes ot the eyes.
\nMy eyesight is even worse after getting eyedrops, so maybe it was a good thing there wasn’t any sun today. Sun+eyedrops=MrLassgoo. Magoo. Hello? Get off my lawn, kids.
\nTook the goats out for some greens. I put the leash on Mio, but it turned out I hadn’t needed to. She managed to walk in on the wrong side of the fence around the basket\/soccer rink. So she could not proceed further along to the forbidden zone. I saw her looking up there, like she was wondering why she couldn’t get up there. Good thing she didn’t realise, like Milo and Sky the other day in the goat pen, that you can actually walk around the fence. Then I had some fun running back and forth on the pitch with the kids and Mia. There was no ball this time so I guess they felt safe enough to enjoy themselves. They’re so frigging cute when they start running at fullspeed ahead. Zoom.
\nAnd now I’ll just sit back and wait for my vision to return to normal. Which is 80% blind, but hey who’s counting I have leftover pizza so it’s foine.

\nI have no idea if this photo is in focus or not. But I mean, it’s not every day you spot a polar bear in Denmark so I just had to take a picture.

\nMy dad was with me at the eye doctor this morning. I need help getting home when I have had my eyes dropped. There was something wrong with the machine that patients use to register that they have arrived. Several times my dad got up to help people making it work. Not really surprising to me. My dad is the kind of person who gets up and tries to help people when they’re having problems with something. Like he has been an invaluable aid to me after I started losing my sight too. I’d like to think, hope, that those are some of the values he has instilled in me growing up. Now because of my vision problems and anxities I may not always, at all, be the person who gets up and helps strangers. But I do try to help when I can. When someone posts on Facebook about a problem I always have this urge to go googling and trying to find solutions, even if it’s a person I barely know and a problem I have no experience with. But this desire to help and do good, that is a good quality to pass on to your kids.
\nWhen I was growing up my father was very active in the Danish political party of social democrats. Bloody European socialists! Again, I associate that party with helping those in need. Welfare. Taking care of the poor and downtrodden. Helping refugees, taking care of the environment. Health care. In Denmark we also have a red and a blue side to the politics. Only in Denmark the ‘good ones’ (from our point of view, obvs) are the red ones. The social democrats are on the red side. For welfare and hunanity. And then there’s the blue side which is more about CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE TOO and THE CARAVAN OF ISIS IS AT OUR BORDERS. Etc. Everywhere you go everything stays the same. Things may not be as insane in Denmark, but give us time. We’ll get there.
\nAnyway, I just wanted to say that I appreciate people who get up and try to help others. It’s a cold, dark world. We all gotta rake away the bad leaves so the fires don’t spread. Thanks, dad.

\nKindness matters. Now I am off to the dreamscape. Let the eyes rest and the mind wander. Follow the pizza crust crumbs if you need to find me.

\nFacebook is having some major malfunction issues. This is a great opportunity to actually get some stuff done now that there isn’t the social media distraction to occupy the attention.
\n*spend next 5 hours checking Facebook every 5 minutes*
