Hah! I laugh. Guess what happened today?<\/p>\n

It rained. As I copy\/pasted from my livejournal earlier, the last two days I have not brought my jacket to work. Normally I would always bring it. Even if it was too hot to wear it, I’d still carry it with me like a safety blanket. Now I finally manage to leave it at home. And then it rains. Go figure. Normally I look stupid because I’m wearing a jacket when it’s too hot. Today I looked stupid for not wearing a jacket in the rain.<\/p>\n

Ah well. I certainly wasn’t the only one caught unprepared. It was rather a funny sight actually, the streets full of people in summer clothes. The lucky ones with umbrellas. The rest left to the mercy of the skies.<\/p>\n

And the thing is… it felt good. Cool summer rain. After a couple of days of unbearable heat (by my standards anyway) it was really good to cool down. To just stand in the rain. It was perfect really. Not raining too much. Not too cold. Just a refreshing, cool shower. I would be quite the ingrate if I were to complain about the rain right after complaining about the heat.<\/p>\n

There is something reassuring about it too. This is what Danish summer is supposed to be like. Heatwave followed by rainshowers. You can never be sure what you’ll get. Of that you can be sure.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I had a really good time with Mads. While the sun was roasting everything in sight. I sat down, and he came soon after and sat down next to me. And then he sort of rolled over on his side and put his head in my lap and just comaed out. While I scratched him generously. Per came walking by and burst out laughing. “You big lapdog, Mads”. It was really rather sweet and funny. <\/p>\n

All the best photo-ops are always the ones where I’m in a bad position to take pictures. I should have a personal photographer follow me around. But here are my attempts at capturing the moment:<\/p>\n

Now tell me goats aren’t good pets. Tell me that Mads isn’t just as cuddly as a dog or a cat. If goats could purr he would have purred. Instead he just made his adorable groaning\/snoring sounds. What a wonderful thing, sitting in the sun and scratching him behind the ears while watching the kids jumping around for joy. It is happiness.<\/p>\n

A family came by too. The dad took their boy and girl in to the goats. The boy was just a baby almost, and he was so happy and excited by the goats. He was laughing out loud as he petted Vanilje. The playground brings a lot of happiness to a lot of people.<\/p>\n

Now if only I could put my head in someone’s lap and be cuddled. Then I’d have it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
