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.

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.

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!

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.
