Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can.


Here's Henry some time back, when his hair was more manageable and I didn't need a shutter speed of 1/500 second to get him.

We're gearing up here in anticipation for Ezra's first birthday tomorrow. Word on the street that it is going to be bigger than Ben Hur, the Bicentenary, and the opening of the first McDonalds in Burnie back in 1992.

If you were around Burnie in 1992, you will realise just how big that is.

Evie and Will (as well as Ady and I) send a big Happy Birthday to "Ezawa". Hope he has a lovely day!
Can't believe he's one! Must mean Will's first birthday is in 7 weeks or something?
Gah!

Henry is looking dashing!

A very happy birthday to Ezra. It has been fun seening you grow from a foetus to a one year old boy! Hope you have appreciated all the love that I have sent you over the months. There is more to come if you promise to continue to be this charming and cute.

Loads of love and hugs and cheek pulls and kisses from New Delhi!

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

Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced. A passion that goeth before a sprawl.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. 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
