Henry versus the parnips

The Henry faction were upset that the Ezra faction were treated with a video last week. Here is the square up, with Henry doing his best Nigella Lawson impression.

Awwwww....he can speak so nicely nowadays :-) :-)....hugs..hugs...

It's funny, "mashing Ezra." :-). Was that a slip of tongue or children don't understand the use of all these prepositions in English, even if it is their mother-tongue?

O Kris, by the way, have you watched the Indian movie "Lagaan?" You might want to watch it as one of its central theme is Cricket. I am saying this because I think in one of your comments, you have something to say about Rahman, the music composer of Slumdog Millionaire. He is also the same composer of Lagaan. I have not watched SM yet. But Lagaan is beautiful along with its songs. Lagaan was nominated (if I remember correctly) in the best foreign film category in Oscar.

That is one cute video.

Abraham Lincoln said, "Hello," all the way from Brookville, Ohio in the U.S.A. And his wife of 53 years said hello too.

Yamini, it was more a case that he was propped up on the bench and couldn't run at me...

KL, he's still grasping the proper syntax, but I can't be too hard on him, most people I encounter make similar mistakes!

KL, I've not seen Lagaan, but I know of it. I don't get much of a chance to watch movies these days, although I did see Madagasgar 2 the other day...

I just wanna know what your wife is doing to Ezra in the background? He is going up and down like a yoyo! Or was that him bouncing himself??
Your last remark to Henry was a touch cynical!!?? hehehe

Sue, that is Ez going like the clappers in his bouncy chair. He has great rhythm in his leg thrusting to generate bounce and can work up a real sweat.

Cynicism that has been generated by Henry's false claims.

Honestly...Ez looks like he is about to launch like a Soviet Soyuz rocket!
Perhaps one of his middle names could have been "Sputnik"???

All joking aside...the boys are growing so fast. They truly are so damn gorgeous! I just love the fact that I can watch them grow through your blog...gotta love technology! I really feel like I know them even though we have never met them! Even Cody and Zac like looking at the pics and videos to see what they are up to!

Sue, both of them are very athletic boys. I had Henry out running on an oval yesterday evening.

I have photos.

Thiên, he threw his shoes at his mother's head this afternoon.

Not ten seconds after being told off for throwing his shoes at me!

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. ...

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

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...

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke...
