For the purposes of poetry a convincing impossibility is preferable to an unconvincing possibility.


Here is Henry a few weeks back jiving to the strains of the Bee Gee's Night Fever.

If Henry had a beard, he'd easily pass for Barry Gibb. I expect that this will change when he hits puberty, and can no longer hit those high notes...

Cute kid.

My daughter loves the Mr Men & Little Misses too.

He and Evie are clearly made for each other. She is a HUGE Bee Gees fan. It is a bit sad when it is all said and done...

He's the cool dude

I was thinking it's a bit more Dr. Dre-ish, but that's probably just me.

Kris,
I can't tell you how delightful it is to see young Henry in action in the photographs. Everytime I see him or Ezra, I just want to fly over to Tasmania and gather them up in a big bear hug. :-)))

Give my love to both, please.

We had a Bee Gees extravaganza on Sunday. I got a nice video of a sullen Ezra to How Deep Is Your Love?

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

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

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
