Our lovely greyhound Pippa passed away today after a courageous fight with bone cancer. She was 7.5 years old. We thank the Dr Claire and Dr Ashley at the Veterinary Referral Hospital in Dandenong for their help in battling the Osteosarcoma. RIP sweet girl. ⁦

The -best- investment you could ever make for a young kid: 2 box sets of and books. They are THE BEST! Then take the time and read them to your kid!

This was the machine pistol type that was used in the latest mass killing in the US. Made before the 1986 ban, it is legally transferrable. Rate of fire 1500 rounds per minute. Clips of 30. Made to kill lots of people quickly. This is legal to buy/sell. Absolute insanity.

Hier im deutschen Haushalt wird Weihnachten schon am 24.12. gefeiert, ob in Deutschland oder Australien. Zartes Fleisch, Klöße, Rotkohl, Soße. Himmlisch! Bescherung hat‘s auch gegeben! Uns geht es gut. Wir hoffen es geht allen anderen auch gut. Fröhliche Weihnachten!!! <3! <3!

Pippa update: Pippa is now receiving oral chemo. There is no chance of curing the cancer, just slowing the spread. She‘ll get this until she suffers substantial quality of life degradation: breathing issues. Hopefully there will be minimal side effects. This is much stronger that what she had before. If the meds themselves are too nasty, we‘ll have to stop them. Brave Pippa. She did her usual walk around the block early this morning.

We are truly doomed if immunologists in Melbourne hold UNMASKED conferences that turn out to be SUPERSPREADER events.
