I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.


Here is Henry looking shifty.

I've now had two of those days, and there is no escaping the fact that it is going to be one of those weeks.

Henry is looking cute and naughty and intelligent day by day. From this pic, it seems like he is going to be a wrestler (or in any of those martial arts sports) one day.

Thank you for visiting my blog! You're 2 boys are beautiful! I am the mother of 2 boys as well, but mine are much older now (18 & 15), and I miss them at these younger ages. I lok forward to visiting you often, and seeing more photos!

KL, his language skills are getting better by the day. He's also become obsessed by the moon.

Dottie, let's just say that the boys feature pretty heavily on the blog!

How could they not?

is it because of these guys?!

I don't blame you. I would be on the floor, crying 'uncle'.

there must be an Olympics for parenting? I bet you have to run a marathon while carrying a sack of potatoes with one arm tied behind your back to qualify.

Kitty, no, the main beef is work-related, angry and loud children merely ensure that you never get a break.

Elaine, I am of the opinion that teenagers use the word "like" far too much and in utterly ridiculous ways.

Priyanka, I'll send them to India you can gaze at their faces up close!

Send them back when they are in their twenties.

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...

In dreams begin responsibilities.

A life at sea, that's for me, only I just don't have the BREAD. That's right, Theme Thursday yet again and I post a photo of a yacht dicking about in Bass Strait just off Wynyard. The problem is, I am yet again stuck at work, slogging away, because I knead need the dough . My understanding is that it is the dough that makes the BREAD. And it is the BREAD that buys the yacht. On my salary though, I will be lucky to have enough dough or BREAD for a half dozen dinner rolls. Happy Theme Thursday people, sorry for the rush.
