Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;


Here are some flowers getting a bit of a water in the CBD the other morning. Good to see.

I can't write much, as I have a kabuki singing Henry is a great mood simply demanding to use the computer for some kind of dodgy scam. Or maybe he just wants to have another bash (literally) at the mysterious SNM#1, which delights him to no end.

Only just got around to reading your theme thursday post....couldn't manage them all last thurs, then when i went back to the site, I couldn't remember which ones I had visited (because stupid me, I didn't visit them in order)...
ah well...I used to visit the library with my children when they were younger- a great resource, but it is a bit 'pot luck' what titles they have in.
I see you are a reader...check out Avid Reader's site for news of the Virtual Book Club:)

Wow, we'd never need to water flowers here *lol* Today I saw daffodils in bloom for the first time this year - guess that means it's spring here!

Colette, I am quite a fan of pansies as well.

Cinnamon, the beautiful thing about the library’s website is that if it isn’t in, you can get it sent there.

Dot-Com, it’s starting to cool down a bit in the mornings here, so I’m sensing the changing of the seasons already.

We are having rainy afternoons too! I love the effect of the rain on the pansies.

J.C., I even braved getting damp feet for this shot.

I am jealous...with our severe water restrictions, I had even forgotten what a sprinkler looked like! And as for flowers...after the extreme heat we have had, most flora is brown and dead looking! With more to come...
38 degrees again by Friday!
I adore Tassie!

Sue, it hit 30 yesterday, but we had a big storm last night and it has been pelting down ever since.

Mad as hell

So there I was, arm hooked up to the machine, watching my plasma swirl away into a bag while the morning news dribbled across the screen like a bad fever dream. And what were they showing? A "riot" in Melbourne, allegedly. The sort of riot where the real thugs wear body armour, carry pepper spray and look like they just walked off the set of RoboCop. The people they were beating? A ragtag crew of teenagers and old hippies—probably fresh out of a drum circle, still smelling of patchouli. But sure, let's call it a riot. Now, here's where it really gets good. I mentioned this spectacle to a few people later, thinking maybe they'd share my outrage or, at the very least, give a damn. But no. What did I get instead? A smirk, a chuckle, and—oh, the pièce de résistance—"You should really just let it go." Let it go? Yeah, let me uncork a nice, overpriced cup of coffee, sit back with my legs crossed, and soak in the latest reality TV trash. Why bother caring when ...

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. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...
