I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.


Eating ice cream in Richmond, whilst wearing an Essendon singlet.

Could anything be finer?

Great shot, how the boys sit, how they eat, how they look. I sceam you sceam we all sceam for ice cream! I really like that scream. And yesterday we enjoyed ice cream in Buenos Aires. Have you ever heard that Argentina is famous for ice cream?

when was the last time they swept under their splinter benches? I just had some ice cream, but it is well below freezing here.
thanks for the hit of summer yum! can use that right now as I look out the window to endless swirling snow - but it does resemble vanilla ice cream.

Lovely boys. I tried ice cream this evening, but it's too cold. In Oregon, right now, it's a little drippy and cool.

Another premiership for the Bombers!
I thought the kid on Henrys' left was Pinocchio at first, but then, no, a small child growing a rhinoceros tusk. once my vision cleared I could of course see that it is the one and only Ezra with his face in an ice-cream cone.

Carola, my wife has enjoyed ice creams in Buenos Aires. I believe that she rate the Tucumán ice creams more highly, however.

Tom, you can't get good help these days. I blame convicts.

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
