Why do I have to wait until 2080 to find out what I'm not supposed to know? Unfair!

Worth the wait, I really did LOL.
Hi Kris.About "Where do you stand on bullfighting?" that you asked me in my blog, let me answer here. I suppose that worldwide there will be transcended, that the government of Catalonia (Spain) has decided to ban bullfighting. I think that when a government, any state prohibits anything, do not do for the sake of the citizens, but for the sake of the party which is ruling at that time. On my opinion, and considering that I have only once gone to a bullfight, is that bullfighting should be modified. In fact, to me personally, I only can see the first part of the bullfight: before the "picador" taunt the bull. Not many years ago, the idea arose in Spain to supply the final blow, which is killed the bull, which seemed somehow this happened. I'm sorry I extended in my reply (and I apologize for my English).

Jackie, I am gladdened.

MDP, I am not sure that I'd like to see a bullfight. I read Death in the Afternoon, but remain unconvinced...

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
