A very Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year. Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear. War is over, if you want it. War is over now.


I just wanted to quote my favourite Christmas carol in the title there (well, next to Chuck Berry's Run, Rudolph Run) and wish everybody out there a merry Christmas.

And no, I didn't have to staple those reindeer horns to Henry's head, he chose to wear them himself.

Wow, every photo over the last week is prizeworthy! You are quite the artist, Kris. Of course, it helps to have subjects like Jen, Henry, and Ezra.
Merry Christmas to you all.
I am about to pull the plug on the computer and head down your way. TTYL Shalom!

I'll go for Daryls general-purpose one-size-fits-all greeting, sort of compact and comprehensive! ;)

Staying the night at the cottage, one of relatively few nights away from Stockholm in my case.

Merry Christmas, Kris, Jen, Henry and Ezra!
We are in the midst of setting up the barbeque in the backyard for lunch with just me, Cody and Zac. It will be Cody's first Christmas home for three years...he is usually hungover in some Asian jungle!
It looks like it will be a glorious day weather-wise... 24 degrees (celsius)...not a cloud in the sky!
Pa will be over later and then some of Cody's mates will call in. So lots of ice and a slab or two in the esky!
Hope are enjoying the day with your beautiful family!

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
