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

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!

Ann, Jen prefers wool to leather, I think.

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

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? ;-)

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.

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).

KL, three years married, but Jen and I have been together for eight years. You get less for bank robbery!

Nathalie, I love hot chips very much, which should put things in perspective.

Magiceye, Jen has been noticeably silent on the matter!

Jackie, Jen was a vegetarian who smoked and slept in late when she met me.

None of it lasted.

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
17 April 2009 at 14:29
Kris McCracken said…
MDP, I think that a while living together is a very good thing!

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...

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...
