A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.


Paddling around the CSIRO. March, 2010.

I quite like the hazy, mirage effect on the horizon here. I'm not sure what exactly caused it, but do know that it accompanied some fuel burn offs down south.

Time for todays Sunday Top Five!

I've consulted the terrible twosome, and we've come up with Henry and Ezra's Top Five Television Shows (at the moment...)
Dirty Jobs (with Mike Rowe)

How did dirty jobs slip in? Couldn't they find anything with the Wiggles?

They've got good taste. Dirty Jobs is a favorite with the 3 of us.

My Hubby and SIL's love Dirty Jobs. There must be something universal about that show.

Oh and we got a lot of people named Paul over here, getting to be a lot less named Peter. Okay, I had better stop while I am ahead because I might not stop, since this subject about gobernents highway robbery bugs the crap out of me.

Please wish your wife a Happy Mother's Day.

God bless.

Dirty Jobs is one of my favourites too. Mike Rowe is a very likable host, and there is always something interesting to see!

I hate Wiggles.

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

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
