The dogs are out of quarantine





and are now residing with Jawahar and Vinisha in their very comfortable black and white. Jake took to his favourite hobby, chasing a ball immediately, usually he is "shy" at someone elses home.

Vinisha is a Scientist and has bravely quit research with a blue chip pharmaceutical and now runs www.greendot.com, she teaches kids about science and has bought a worm farm on my recommendation, apparently there is a shortage of worms and they can go for S$120 per kg. hmmmm... I think I will help her build a compost heap and also a mandala vege garden, once I figure out where to buy a pick! But her place is great, she has put up a wind harvester and soon solar panels, our dogs tomorrow will be used for show and tell.... the throw of a ball has a certain arc, is it better to throw the ball to bounce or to throw far, which is the throw that will make jake run the furthest?

Here is Vinisha giving the boys a lesson on how to burn your fingers on cheap boats made of metal, add water and some oil, light it and it spews black smoke and chugs along with sound effects. The toys from the good old days...

Pistol unfortunately hurt his paw so we are housing him with us at the service apartment. He needs a manicure and is enjoying good food and being a single dog again, tho he feels alot less brave.

Our house hunt... well not so successful, we have been pulled a typical singapore landlord rug trick, ie string us along but then when they get a better offer, dump us! Our bidding also not successful as many leases coming due now is creating competition in our budget range... everyone looking for a better deal but that is somehow propping the market. Well at least my shophouse is rented out and cashflow is good.

Bullet is hot here! and that is Nate in one of his school uniforms.
