Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.


Sunrise over Franklin Wharf. May 2010.

I had the great pleasure of resigning from my job yesterday (if you haven't done so, give it a try!) This means, of course, less photographs featuring the lovely waterfront area of Hobart, and a little more of the suburb of New Town, where I shall be making my appearance in a few weeks time. Until then, expect me to exhaust my Salamanca reserves!

Resigning your job? Now what shall you do to put food on the table?

Love this quote.

I resigned from mine in March this year and felt happy just walking down the stairs of that office for the last time.
What's great is that I don't even miss it.

New Town? I don't know what that is, but it sounds dangerously foreign.

I assume you're moving to a new job, so congratulations are in order.

Magpie, I'm not silly enough to quit one job without having one in the bag!

Yamini, did you take the opportunity to deliver a few home truths?

Kris McCracken said…
Me, New Town is just up from North Hobart.

I'm not so sure that congratulations are in order, I am entering Weber's stahlhartes Gehäuse!

Yes, a bureaucrat!

St John's Park at New Town? You're not joining my lot (DHHS), are you?

Kris McCracken said…
Me, that would indeed be St Johns Park.

I might add that your lot approached me...

Best wishes in your new position - we look forward to a fresh set of views from your part of the world (and you can always return to the Salamanca markets on weekends, no?)

Nathalie, I will admit that I much prefer Salamanca on a cold winter's weekday morning than market day. Too much tat and too many people!

Mazal tov, Kris. Hope you will be a lot happier now without the old job.

Yes, those kids are handsome devils and getting more so all the time.

You mean, that your next job is in a company?

And I forgot: Kris, I wish you a happy time in the new job. Glad to read this. I hope it is a RELEASE.

It is a pleasure to quit a job you don't like! And I'm silly enough that I have done it without having a new job. O.k. for me it was the only chance to travel a long time.

Dina, I am certain that it will make me less frustrated.

Carola, the new job is for the GOVERNMENT, the biggest company of them all!

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Can you believe that it is time for Theme Thursday already? Today we are not talking chocolate , toddlers , mess or ignominy . No, today we're dealing with ANIMAL . Now I could have posted a picture of a possum, numbat, wombat, wallaby or any other furry killing machine that roams our fair isle, but I figure that I'd use a far more deadly creature as an example of an animal . Some people - I know them as fools - have chosen to embrace that highfalutin idea that human beans are for some ungodly reason superior to animals. Of course, what these imbeciles seem to forget is that were are simple animals ourselves ! Anyone with a baby, toddler, teenage boy or Queenslander in their household could tell you this. Look at Henry [above]. One chocolate frog in the back of the car on a sunny day and all of a sudden it's Elagabalus meets Bacchus for a quick shandy in the Serengeti and we're down on all fours carrying on like a cat in heat. Fair dinkum, anyone who chooses to ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...
