I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

Merry Christmas to you all.
I am about to pull the plug on the computer and head down your way. TTYL Shalom!
Staying the night at the cottage, one of relatively few nights away from Stockholm in my case.
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!
