To create something you must be something.


Two for one of a hunk looking at a tiger.

I like the tones of this one. Very Autumn, with a 1970s-vibe.

The jumper is - of course - one of Jen's creations. You can also see it here, and here, modelled by another fellow you might recognise.

Don't tell me, don't tell me. I'll get his name in a minute. It's,it's... No it's gone! Oh well!
Sorry Henry, just trickin'.

May I also comment on the extremely good looking young man in Henry's old jumper. The young master Ezra is achieving god like looks each day.
Henry attained his some time ago.
I am one besotted grandpa.

Kris, you're right the color and light in these two shots are wonderful. I love his little hand made translucent on the window. He is such a heartbreaker. You and Jen are blessed with beautiful children...and Roddy is blessed with TWO beautiful grandchildren. :)

Oh, the unabashed look of your boy! He is so darling. And always a treat to see one of Jen's creations...knitted and human kind :)... & I must give you at least 1/2 credit for the latter.

Lucky Ez. Zac had to wait for years to raid Cody's wardrobe as there is eight years difference in ages....so it took a while for Zac to grow to the same size! Lovely jumper....and of course, beautiful boys! And I have two gorgeous nephews...and great-nephews!!!

We're both blessed and cursed to have a knitter in the house.

Thanks all for the kind words.

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
