Paint It Green
My internet has started dropping out again. Dammit. It’s been working perfectly for the last week or so. Which means it can’t be something at my end. It must be my ISP’s fault. Cross my fingers that it won’t keep flaking on me.
My appartment block is being painted. On the inside. There was a vote to decide the colour in each block. I got the results a week or so ago. All colours received 0 votes. Haha. Nobody voted at all. That’s a little sad actually. But really, I didn’t care what colour they picked. Now it ended up green. And work has begun. My door is all taped up and so are much of the walls and floors and everything. I hope they’ll be done soon. I don’t like having the painters walking around outside all the time. No offense, I know painters are awesome people! Just not standing outside my door. Yesterday I could barely get out because they put a ladder right in front of the door. I’m afraid that I’ll open up the door and there will be a paintbrush running down my face because they chose that very moment to paint my door.
Except the doors aren’t going to be painted, so that’s not really likely to happen.
Other than that, a quiet day with chicken leftovers and dreamcake.
Oh yes, happy thanksgiving to whom it may apply. Things I am thankful for include: you who are reading this, my family who has supported me so much during my move, the people at TMU, the guy who invented cola and of course the goats, above and beyond.

So, are you being painted green on the outside or inside your apartment? Isn’t it too cold to be painting outside now? We have paint that we can use outside as long as it is 4 or 5 degrees above freezing. Not too cold for the painting but pretty cold for the painters.
Of course painters are wonderful people! Those Danish painters better be extra nice to you or we’ll have to come over and teach them a lesson. (Oops! There goes the good relationship between our two countries! ha, ha)
You’ve got my curiosity aroused. What is dreamcake?
We have a lovely Thanksgiving at my parents’ house today. Much turkey and all the trimmings to bring home for leftovers. I’m in a “turkey coma”.
Most of our snow has melted during the day. We took the goats out for a short walk when we got home. The cold doesn’t seem to bother them at all. I was ready to head back for the barn where at least it wasn’t windy.
The boys are so fluffy and fat. Their fur is so soft since I comb them about every day. We watched them eat hay and gave out scratches to everyone. A perfect Thanksgiving in my book.

Hay, hay. I just took a Christmas package to the post office and mailed it to Denmark. Do I know anyone there???
So be looking for something in the next 7-10 days (or longer, as the post office likes to say!). It’s nothing very big, but I thought you & the goatzies would enjoy presents.
And no, it’s NOT a life-size inflatable Santa!

Debster – I am being painted on the outside of my appartment, but on the inside of the block. The hall/stairs. See the latest entry for a picture.
I hope you haven’t started some kind of painter’s war between Denmark and the states. Figures, we’ll need to pump more money into our military budget now!
I hope you’re out of the turkey coma now. Or at least recovering. Hmm, maybe that’s something for military to consider. War by turkey. Not Turkey, the country of course. I don’t want people to get the wrong idea if they google by here on accident. I love Turkey and turkeys aren’t bad either.
Oh Debster, you shouldn’t have! A package, a package. I can’t wait. Is it a mini santa? Or a medium santa? Is it some kind of santa? No no, don’t tell me. I will wait and see. Ooh the excitement!
