Economy in pleasure is not to my taste.


Humility prevents me from saying that I have the most handsome children going around, so I won't say it.

Obviously, I can't stop anyone else from saying it, however...

I was thinking about having a caption competition, but don't have a prize. Is anyone interested in some old cassette tapes?

There's a novel by a Ghanaian writer titled The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born. Maybe that's how I want to say that wait'll my kids are born!

Ezra is fast growing up into a handsome young man.

Oh! I can see how humble you are :-P. And, I can also see those precious blue buttons that you choose,the most difficult job in the world :-D.

Absolutely cutie-pie precious.

Sooooooo adorable. Look at that smile! You do have the cutest children around (but of course, I have the cutest teen around).
I can start to see some resemblence btw the boys now. Ezra's facial features are changing.
I was able to take my eyes off of Ezra for a sec to notice the lovely blanket and his sweater. I'm envious of his wooly collection.

who is asking you to be modest...

with kids like Henry and Ez... you should be shouting from roof tops... ehehehe
Roddy said…
They are both growing too fast. You and your brother were just children one day and when I turned round you had both grown past me. I missed so much. Thank you for keeping me abreast of the progress of my two astronomical grandchildren. I am so proud and so pleased to have such photogenic grandchildren. Thank you so much!!!

Candie, he is wonderful.
Kris McCracken said…
Lolade, I will have to look that one up.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, my humility prevents me telling you just how humble I am.
Kris McCracken said…
Tash, the jumper AND the blanket are both Jen's handiwork!
Kris McCracken said…
Tania, but what about those buttons? Whooo-wheee they are beauties!
Kris McCracken said…

You have the most handsome children going around, yes! Only, except my two nieces!!!
Wonderful photo, colorful like your mood!!
Kris McCracken said…
KL, my children are both dressed with a sound sense of colour combination. I am very firm in that regard.
Kris McCracken said…
Kitty, have you seen his father?
Kris McCracken said…
Lemon, little girls are smelly and horrible. Everyone knows that little boys are the best!
yamini said…

Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, uh oh, the tapes accidentally got thrown out.

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.
