An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field.


So I say to Henry, "you're a rebel. What's your cause?"

He replied that he wasn't sure, but that it involved chips in some way...

Did Henry say that? I thought he was very good at keeping secrets. Like he hasn't yet revealed whom he would be taking with him on THAT catamaran, remember?

The camera angle in this photograph is interesting. This was the scene where Henry did some kind of a somersault and distracted both Jen and Ezra's attention away from the camera, isn't it?

I am back after a long holiday :-). Has a lot to catch up with your blog, but in the meantime how are you all doing - Jen, Ez, Henry and you? Hope everything is great.

So, the two musketeers are now off to kindergarten?

Lovely picture, but I do believe that it is file footage. The children don't appear to be as old as some of your recent posts. Ezra isn't standing and Henry doesn't appear to need a haircut.

KL, I thought that you'd gone missing.
Kris McCracken said…
Sarah, I'm still making plenty.
Kris McCracken said…
Mrsupole, I love chips.
Kris McCracken said…
Diedrick, I don't feel great!
Kris McCracken said…
DeeDee, he wants hot chips.

Roddy, of course it is file footage. There is only so much time in the day!

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.
