Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question.


Watch out for those spikey conkers! April, 2010

Theme Thursday and I'm surrounded by Lego Duplo.

I'm trying to be funny, but all of my best material is a little BLUE for this audience.

If you got into a blue with the kids you would be feeling blue. First of July. Only two more months of the winter blues to go.
Betsy Brock said…
Don't be blue! :)

Ah you should have gone 'blue' and sorted the men from the boys. At least you can see duplo when you're walking about in bare feet!
what a lovely blue sky in the background.

Megan, I am glad you liked it.

Brian Miller, as in ‘bad’?

Roddy, they win.

Betsy, never!

Monkey Man, blue generally means cheap laughs.

Baino, oh the enjoyment I get from Henry carrying on about the pain of stepping on Duplo!

Jingle, a nice patch of blue.

In my day "blue" meant and still does, fight, or off colour, sullen or dour.

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
