Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.


Scotch on the rocks.

Straight up.

It ain't easy being two-and-a-half.

It seems like nowadays we are all getting lots of Henry photos where he is smiling :-). Nice.

Yep, scotch-on-rock in a hockey-ship cup wearing the English-cricket team (almost) jersey..now that's a life :-D.

Must be lots of rocks and a drop of Scotch

My receipt for the tea - one bowl of sugar and a bit of hot water and a tea bag.

Great picture of Henry Kris he looks like he is really enjoying his drink I wonder what he has in his cup.
Roddy said…
Two and a half. At least he ain't green!

Kool.

I got to hand to you, the titles that you come up with for your blog posts alone, make it worthwhile in stopping by.

I agree being 2 n half was the MOST difficult part of life... all the mind games and politics of the play group!

Thanks u so much again for a shot of Henry. He seems to be enjoying the scotch too...
What else do you feed him in that cute mug, by the way?

Henry's mop of hair is getting darker now, or is it just the light?
Kris McCracken said…
KL, Henry detests the English cricket team. As every good Tasmanian child does...
Kris McCracken said…
Aigars, he is a gin man really.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, he hates the Greens too.
Kris McCracken said…
G, they’re the easy bit!
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka, I found 17 a struggle.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, his hair is getting a darker shade of brown, although it seems to change with the weather.

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 ...
