Fiver has joined the ranks

We have a new addition to the Suskin family. Fiver, a small black "lionhead" bunny has come to live at 5 Valley Gate Way. It was a gift from Michael to Robyn. Fiver has joined up with Nyoka (Michael's ball python) and Trechtobal Gomez (Max) to complete the Suskin farmyard !

Of course Max is still "top dog". When he was introduced to Nyoka he couldn't figure out what the hell it was. But he quickly figured out what Fiver was all about. In true Terrier form he just wants to chase Fiver all the time. We are not sure what he would do if he got a hold of her but we aren't about to find out anytime soon.

Quite a number of years ago we were at a petting zoo and the picture below fortold an interesting prophecy. Even better than Nostradamus could have done.

 That was then and this is now.

I have been remiss (a very naughty boy)

I am so far behind with my blog updates that I swear my head is going to explode. I will try and catch up over the next few days but it's going to be busy. Monday is chemo day, Tuesday is the appointment with the heart (cholesterol) doctor and Wednesday is scan day. I also need to check in with Dr. Sidransky about the complete gene sequence.

Bulawayo

I am having a ball here in Bulawayo. The weather has been fantastic and I've been really busy with all my friends. I have also visited the ZimKids center and it's really wonderful to see how they are moving along with the construction. We also got to see the kids during their activities. I made my rounds to the different hospitals and am hoping we will be able to ship the supplies out soon from Baltimore.

Awesome news

The world is rid of one of the most awful heads of a very ugly Medusa. Good riddance. But there are still many heads to remove. Well done CIA and SF.

Back in Bulawayo

My welcome back to Bulawayo was fantastic up to a point. I will elaborate later.

Ilan and Silvi picked me up at the airport. After temporarily losing 2 of my bags of medical supplies to Zimbabwe customs we went to Silvi's house to watch the hugely important football (soccer) game between Man United and Arsenal. I say temporarily because I am sure I will be able to recover the supplies and take then to the appropriate medical facilities. As far as the football game is concerned, we lost 1-0. It makes for winning the Premiership a little more difficult and losing to Arsenhole is painful enough.

David and Shelley Lasker had a braai(barbecue) dinner for all of us in the evening. As usual it was a wonderful meal and great chatting and catching up with a bunch of my Bulawayo friends. Also there were Dennis (of ZimKids fame) and his wife Elli.

Had a good nights sleep at Ilan’s home until he woke me up at 6:30 am to tell me that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. What a fantastic wake up call that was. Obama 1 Osama 0. Good riddance.

Now, I don’t know if any of you remember the dead bat picture. It was from a while back and it was Ilan’s cats that had killed and dismembered the bat and left me the gift next to my bed. Well, their welcome this time was to bring in a live field mouse, proceed to play with it for a while and then kill and eat it ! Yuch, but I do have pictures. Quite prophetic though. Rat killed in Abbotabad and mouse killed in Bulawayo !
