We recently found out that my aunt and uncle split up over the summer. This was a huge blow to us, as they're a quite famous couple in Australia, and have never shown any signs of marital strain. Outwardly, anyway. But I guess even the closest family members can hide things from you. It upsets me because my aunt, who is my favorite person next to my mum, now has no home, as David has taken that, no money, as he was in charge of everything, a broken knee, hospital bills to pay, and next to no job because of the aformentioned broken knee. No insurance, either. Not to mention she doesn't even have citizenship for Australia, where she and David live. She doesn't know if she'll ever come back to Canada, which is what makes me saddest of all.

This morning she emailed us, and sent us a picture of her new 'boyfriend'. His name is Scooter Boy, and he's a ringtail possum. He made me smile, so I'm showing him off to you, flist, in hopes that he'll do the same for you.





Here's to hoping for the best, and hoping David's hand gets bitten off by a crocodile.
