Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind


No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen!

Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather-related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM!

To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning.

Anniversary

I love you
i love you

Kris McCracken said…
Sue, I love her more than hot chips, the Internet and Playstation.

I really LOOOOOVE her that much.
smudgeon said…
Leather anniversary, Eh? Congratulations.

Wife & I Just passed our Lint anniversary. I can only assume they improve with the relative value of their related materials.
Ann said…
More than hot chips! Love indeed. She'd probably appreciate an Italian jacket, or Manolo Blahniks more than a leather g string.

Congratulations!
Kris McCracken said…
Ann, Jen prefers wool to leather, I think.

I'll get her a new whip to keep me in line...
yamini said…

Wishing you and Jen all the good things in life on this anniversary.

Happy anniversary you two!

I really enjoyed catching up with your blog - fell in love with the "stone wall" photo (well chosen Jennifer!) and laughed out loud at your Good Friday post. I can see why it would have upset a number of people LOL.

Today's photo is very sweet too.

And did I tell you how brilliant Ezra is, that he can say ba ba ba like no other? ;-)
KL said…

Nathalie H.D. said…
Forgot to tell you how creative your poem was. It must be thanks to the hot chips and playstation... wink.

Wishing you lots of love together.

Hey happy anniversary, Kris. Wonderful family you've got there. We say the woman is the neck that holds the head of the house together. You've got such a lovely "neck" in Jen. Thanks for showering such love on her in the open. I bet you must get great reward in the closet!!! Lol...

Here's lyric from one of my favourite Nigerian singers Beautiful Nubia:

"Oh what a feeling
Locking up my lips
I can't express myself
Baby I wanna love

I wanna live with you
Grow old in your arms
Have babies with you
Baby I wanna love you"

Have a lovely day you two.
Irina said…
Happy anniversary to both of you! You make such a wonderful family, and your children are awesome!
Z said…
Well, then! Happy anniversary!
I wish you a happy anniversary. How many years have you married?
I wish tou you and your wife a very good day for today (and everydays).
Jackie said…
Congratulations from me too, here's to many more years! Leather eh? That'll be interesting when it gets to our 3rd (us both being tree-huggy veggies and all).
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, all I want is a bit of sleep.
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka, there was chocolate exchanged.
Kris McCracken said…
Nathalie, upsetting people is my forte. I shall pass on your comment to Ezra.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, three years married, but Jen and I have been together for eight years. You get less for bank robbery!
Kris McCracken said…
Nathalie, I love hot chips very much, which should put things in perspective.
Kris McCracken said…
Magiceye, Jen has been noticeably silent on the matter!
Kris McCracken said…
Babzy, it was an easy poem to write too!
Kris McCracken said…
Lolade, I am going to have to track that song down.
Kris McCracken said…
Irina, the children are okay I guess. The parents are where it's at!
Kris McCracken said…
MDP, three years married, eight years together.
Kris McCracken said…
Jackie, Jen was a vegetarian who smoked and slept in late when she met me.

None of it lasted.
I'm 6 years married, 9 years living together and 11 years since I met my wife.
yamini said…
Here's wishing you a good bout of sleep, whenever and wherever you need it. Amen!!!
KL said…
11 years or 8 years which also includes the three years of marriage? I need to know to calculuate why I can't get more through bank robbery? Calculation involved months, days or seconds? :-D
Kris McCracken said…
MDP, I think that a while living together is a very good thing!
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, I did well last night.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, we've been together for [nearly] eight years and married for three.
yamini said…
So, the wish is already working. Great!!
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, slowly it is.
Well its almost Father's Day..I wish I could be as happy as a dad like you.

Your cute baby got your eyes, I must say..
Kris McCracken said…
Francis, it is all in the mind!

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...

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Can you believe that it is time for Theme Thursday already? Today we are not talking chocolate , toddlers , mess or ignominy . No, today we're dealing with ANIMAL . Now I could have posted a picture of a possum, numbat, wombat, wallaby or any other furry killing machine that roams our fair isle, but I figure that I'd use a far more deadly creature as an example of an animal . Some people - I know them as fools - have chosen to embrace that highfalutin idea that human beans are for some ungodly reason superior to animals. Of course, what these imbeciles seem to forget is that were are simple animals ourselves ! Anyone with a baby, toddler, teenage boy or Queenslander in their household could tell you this. Look at Henry [above]. One chocolate frog in the back of the car on a sunny day and all of a sudden it's Elagabalus meets Bacchus for a quick shandy in the Serengeti and we're down on all fours carrying on like a cat in heat. Fair dinkum, anyone who chooses to ...
