Fruit Bat Salad
Can you believe, it’s been two weeks since I last posted pictures of the goats?! Whatta mistaka to make-a. I will now rectify this problem immediately.
There is Mads. You remember Mads? His tongue is poking out. That only happens when you hit the sweetest of the sweetest spots. I love scratching goats. Look at his eyes squinting heehee.
Thar be Magnethe. Shaking hands with the fence.
And Vanilje looking sweet.
A couple of kids at the fence. Vanilje walking up to see if there is any chance of food.
And a couple of parents introducing their little boy to Mads.
While Mads is away, Magnethe comes out to play. Up to the bench where I sit. Mads likes to jump all the way up on the bench and stand next to me. Magnethe usually just jumps up with her two front legs, keeping her back legs on the ground. That always presents her neck as an excellent scratching target.
More kids came, with branches and tasty leaves. Look at Vanilje’s eyes there, fixed firmly on the leaves. Mmm. And what cute spotted feet she has.
Mads taking his fair share. Well, fair by his standards. I have a feeling that Magnethe and Vanilje might not agree that it’s quite so fair. But none of them go hungry, that’s for sure!
I love them more than ever. They are so beautiful and sweet and funny. Maybe it’s my imagination, but I think I can tell that Magnethe is growing. How long before she has kids? A couple of months I think. She is wonderful. I can’t wait.
Happiness is a warm goat.
But don’t forget about my appartment. Are you tired of videos from it yet? If so, then skip this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mx5uVGCBzUk. Actually it is more about the music. The video itself is just 4 minutes of looking through my window. Unfortunately very compressed by youtube. But oh well, it’s a view. The wind in the trees and the kids playing. The music is another Smashing Pumpkins demo. Let Me Give The World To You. One of my favourite songs. Full of memories of my first times on the internet, of finding sp music. Of running my own mp3 site and just general mayhem and confusion. Those were the days. If you can stand Billy’s demo voice then check out the video and the song.
Also, today I finally managed to get into my storage room. Turns out I was missing this sort of wrench/key-majig that was needed to open the door. I called the housinge organization about it yesterday, and they promised to drop one off for me. And today it came through the mail slot. Have I mentioned that I like my mail slot? At the old house we have a mailbox but here it’s a slot in the door. And sometimes I’ll hear the sound of things being dropped through it. Today it was the key-thing. Yesterday evening an Ikea catalogue came. And of course sometimes nice pieces of mail. I got card from Skye, congratulating me on the move. Thank you! And today a note from the mail man that he had tried to deliver something from Corrie. Corrie and Skye, those were the days.
Anyway, that’s all for now. The goats say “hi”. And also “give me more raisins, Plume!”. But I’m not sure that message was for general distribution.
PS. “This here’s a new song called Plume”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ie8JFmu2GI. Plume live circa 92. Very raw, but it’s history it is.

Pretty, pretty goatzies. It has been soooo hot here lately. Our goatzies aren’t very perky in the heat (just like me and my husband).
It’s nice to get mail, isn’t it? Especially if it’s not a bill. I know who Skye is, but do I know Corrie?
When you get the fluffy kitty kat, you will have to teach kitty not to fetch the mail when it drops and carry it off somewhere. Or the mailman reaches in with some letters and a kitty kat paw reaches out to the mailman. Won’t he be surprised?

Debster – I like when goats get all drowsy in the heat. Unfortunately I don’t like the heat myself, so that’s a downside.
Everyone should know Corrie! I have written a little more about her in the latest entry. She goes way way back. Although we lost contact more or less for a long time. But through the wonders of Myspace we have talked a little lately.
Maybe I should teach kitty to go fetch the mail for me actually! I can sit in my comfy chair and it’ll come running with all the very important mail i receive. Although the ikea catalogue might be a little too heavy!
