Was lucky to see Paul Simon on his Graceland tour in 1987 in Sydney. Amazing.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

Me and my boys setting Mrs Maj mobile ringtone to One Piece snail transponder is a gift that keeps on giving in the Easter holidays...
