Flapping Wings
Ohhh yeah.
Oh to be that goose. Burying its head in the water, like an ostrich buries its head in the sand.
Splashing around without a worry in this world.
As you can see, I finally got to see the geesers in the water. It was actually a little dramatic at first. I was sitting with the goats and the geesers were just walking around outside. Then Kurt went to them. He had seen something. Apparently one of the geeselings got overheated. I’m not sure if it passed out or if it was just doing badly. But Kurt brought it to the little water pool so it could cool off. And the rest of the family followed. So that was my chance to see them dive in.
At first they were just swimming around slowly. But once they had cooled down and once father goose started splishing and splashing they all started speeding around and diving and having a good time. It was very sweet to see.
And oh how I envied them and wished that I could just have jumped in with them. So, so hot.
The lambs were back outside.
Dotty and Mini. They baahed a lot when they saw me. They are still missing their families I am sure. They had found a way to escape under a fence, so they had to be tied down for a while. The fence was fixed and they were soon set free again. Roaming around and eating grass. That suited them much better.
And of course, let’s not forget the goatsome threesome.
Mads. He was not too pleased that I went and sat down with the lambs when they were baahing for me. Naturally Mads should come first!
He ate my watch today. Or some of it at least. I was letting him chew and pull on it, because it looked so funny. But then he managed to practically pull it apart. That wasn’t part of the plan. I think he swallowed a little bit of it, just a tiny part. He was okay, luckily. Stupid Plume. Now I’ll have to get a new watch. Or maybe I’ll just keep it in my pocket, it was only the strap that broke.
Magnethe. Mmm wall. Nom nom nom.
Vanilje. She was clashing a bit with her sister again today. Teenage rebellion.
At TMU I had a little talk with Trine. She told me that she has told my social worker that they will be recommending retirement. So that is settled. Trine still has to make the paperwork, she told me she might not get it done before the summer holiday (10 days till holiday weet!). But if not then my case would be the first one she did after the summer break. And in any case there will be a fairly long wait once she has submitted the paper work to my social worker. But hopefully they will live up to their 100% record. So far all the cases where they have recommended something (be it retirement, flex job or something else) have been settled succesfully. So it’s looking good now I think. If I could get a skånejob at the playground and find and appartment before too long then the world is my oyster.
Actually, I don’t think I like oysters so that’s no good.
And now I’m going to go submerge myself in ice water. In my dreams.

Magnethe and the wall really made me laugh. Goats are great!

That’s a lovely stretch of water.

That’s a neat little water pool. I wouldn’t mind having one in my backyard. A super duper bird bath! Wouldn’t have to worry about the goats getting in there. Ours don’t even like to walk in wet dewy grass in the mornings.
I don’t like oysters either. Yucky!

PLUME MEETS A GIANT EASTER ISLAND HEAD FROM THE FUTURE:
Plume: Um, hi there. The goats told me that you’re some kind of interdimensional being who’s imbued with powers beyond our understanding.
Head: Yes, that is true.
Plume: The goats also said that you can see across time and space, so I wanted to ask you something.
Head: Speak. There is little amidst the infinite layers of reality that the mighty Giant Head cannot observe or influence.
Plume: Excellent. Could you watch my bike for me while I eat lunch?
Head: Can’t. I’m about to take break and go get an ice cream in the 9th dimension in a couple of minutes.

>B>Stu – I concur!
Clare – Of course it’s hot where YOU are. *kissyarsy*
Debster – I think whoever came up with the idea to have a moat around the old fairy tale castles must have gotten the inspiration from goats. “Water.. That’ll keep everyone out!”.
Luis Lemmings –
Plume: Can I have some ice cream too?
Head: Do you have any money?
Plume: Not really. We can share my peanutbutter sandwich if you like?
Head: I don’t like peanutbutter. Do you have anything fish?
Plume: Hmm. No. Only peanutbutter.
Head: Well I really don’t like peanutbutter so you know, I’d like to help you out and stuff. But I think this has gone on too long. Just press the “Submit Comment” button and go away.
Plume: Okay.
