Only ten minutes? I thought the show went for a little longer than that. At least it did when I watched it.

Kids and television are made for each other and this Universal Truth holds true for the whole world and, may be, even other planets, but for that we need scientific evidence first.

As kids, even we used to be glued to the TV, although, we never had the luxury of surfing through a host of kiddo channels, with a variety of cartoon programmes.

Henry and Ezra are watching the penguins in rapt attention and I am sure none of them is going to turn his head even if u call them at the top of ur voice. :-))

Baino, they've not seen that yet.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, their attention span isn't fully developed yet.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, they don't watch a huge amount, so I won't deny them a bit here and there.
Kris McCracken said…
Dina, and quiet!

Candie, I've cropped out the drool...

Keropak Man, everything in moderation is my philosophy.

Mrsuple, I've been known to offer Henry cash just to stop shouting. He never takes me up on it.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

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

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo.

I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
