All quiet on the western front

no wind no sun and no rain, just very quiet . Human says its the calm before the storm, I hope he's wrong.The days are short so we don't stay out side for long and the grass and bushes have less on them to eat, there's still a few apples on the ground though !
In his vain attempt to tidy up Human has lit a bonfire, its been smouldering for ages , no flames just smoke . Sometimes the smoke blows in and we can smell it ,on occasions its quite nice when its dead leaves and garden stuff, but when he burns plastic and rubbish its awful and we cough in protest.

On Sunday the 11th of November Human was very quiet, he wore his poppy with great pride and in respect of those who fell in all the wars, at 11o'clock the speaking box was silent and Human stopped work and stood still, we just stood and watched , it just seemed the right thing to do.
Human said it some thing we all owe to those that made a sacrifice.

Human once said that no matter where in the world someone comes from if you open them up and look inside they all have the same working parts ( some even interchangeable ! )   and like motor wagons only vary in colour and left hand or right hand drive , he hasn't explained if the male is left or  right hand drive.
A bit deep for a goat but I'm sure you'll understand.

  1. Eric, let me explain:

    Remembrance Day (that what we call it in Canada, I think it's Veterans' day in America.). It's the day we honour to all the soldiers who have died for our freedom, like in World War Two.

    Or, at least that's how we celebrate it here.
