History is an angel falling backward into the future.


I thought that I'd give all the Henry fans out there a treat today and post a photo that Jen took of a four day old humongous monsterlittle bloke.

He looks somewhat different now.

and with all that hair I bet poor Jen suffered terribly from heartburn!

mine were all pretty bald...and bald until about two.

See, he is the intellectual sort, right from the beginning. I bet he didnt strike this pose just for the photograph.
He seems to be deep in thought looking at the new world that he joined only four days back.....
Beautiful picture by Jen.

I almost forgot, please show us some latest pics of Henry. How is the hair on his head now? Hope he left behind the hair cut that he received last time.

From a very early age, Henry is lost in serious thoughts. While thinking, he takes up the usual pose of closed eyes and hands on chin!! Told ya, one day he will be a serious philosopher.

Coelette, I believe that she was fine on that score.

Ez had finer, blonder hair, but it is thickening up nicely now.

I'm not sure how I'd cope with bald children. They worry me.

Yamini, Henry is all bluster. He needs to work on his concentration.

Yamini, also, I hope that the second picture helped get the measure of the man.

KL, a philosopher king maybe?

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.
