The judge asked “Did you mean to kill her?” What a stupid question. Of course I meant to. Why else would I have sharpened the knife to the finesse of a razor? Why else did I have on hand a big sack that they use on the farm for pressing wool into? Why else did I dig a big hole down the back of the property? Why else did I borrow the neighbour’s truck?
Some people are just straight-out thick and this judge was one of them. Did I mean to kill her? Bah!
I didn’t know it was the neighbour’s pet goat. I thought she was just a stray that kept wandering onto my property these past few months.

Now the animals are the victims. Please go back to human deaths, Bruce.

I always get that response when an animal dies – so you’re probably right.

Not really – and I nearly didn’t post it but it was written about 2 months ago and I had so many stories I didn’t like that I left most of them in.

Trying to get on his goat – as the saying goes. (I’m presuming you have the same expression over there? Getting on my goat???)

Well, we just say that, “Gets my goat” without the “on” part.

You have always been a Browning fan, Uma. I was put off him by being made to study The Last Duchess at school and I didn’t understand a word. Maybe it’s time to revisit.

Does it taste like sheep? Lamb is something I have never been accustomed to the taste of

It’s a strong taste sort of like mutton but has its own taste. Goat meat is the most consumed meat on the globe.

Kill as many goats as you want, Bruce. They’re terribly frustrating creatures.
