I will either find a way, or make one.


It was a miserable, wet and cold Saturday morning today. So, of course, Henry, his balloon and I all decided to go for a wander down to the river's edge at 7 am.

That should give you some semblance of an idea of the mood Ezra was in, and the necessity of him having some peace and quiet in order to get to sleep.

Oh happy day.

Henry is looking quite happy, under the circumstances. Love the way he is marching . The young man has made a way, knows where he is going.

Enjoy your little ones. I just sent mine back to FAR-away NSW. Sob sob . . .

A Very Happy Day to you too...

Henry looks like he knows where he is going, which is most important.

Nice dreamy picture. Marching forward with a balloon in his hand, his imagination must be flying higher than the balloon.

This is a FABULOUS photo.
You are getting quite good at this photo thing, aren't you?

Henry and his balloon have captured my imagination. What will they find at the river. And do they care. It is probably the getting there that appeals most. Love you caption!

If I popped the balloon, do you think
any worthwhile thoughts would spring forth?

Dina, he was naughty the rest of the morning though! NSW? They’re in the wrong state.

Yamini, Sunday was good.

KL, we were heading to the football ground to look at thousands of gulls that had settled there.

Freefalling, good to middling.
Kris McCracken said…
Kim, we got soaked on the way.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, that would be incredibly cruel.
Roddy said…
So it's not actually a thought balloon? What was I thinking?
KL said…
Thousands of gulls!!...Wooooowwwww...so where is the picture of that?
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, you need to keep taking the pills.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, the gulls are coming.

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.
