Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.


Six million, three hundred and thirty-three thousand, two hundred and eleven.

Six million, three hundred and thirty-three thousand, two hundred and twelve.

Six million, three hundred and thirty-three thousand, two hundred and thirteen.

Six million, three hundred and thirty-three...


Hang on a tic, we'll be here a while.

Don't disturb him. He'll lose his count.
I think it is pretty pointless though, çause the tide will come in and dump more on the beach.

Henry's concentration is commendable. I hope he got bags full of shells and shoes full of sand home :-)

Loads of love to him. He looks big too and more handsome!

Playing with shells, sand, earth, there is nothing better for kids. I guess your kids are playing outside 75 %. That's what your pictures tell.
Wonderful photo with interesting perspectiv.

Roddy, it gives him something to do.

Priyanka, he is as handsome as he is stubborn!

Carola, they’re outside a fair bit. We will get more chance now that the weather is getting much finer. The sun is harsh down here, so we generally keep indoors from 11 am – 3 pm, but late-Spring/Summer evenings are a great time to get out and have a stroll, kick a ball, visit the beach.

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...

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke...

In dreams begin responsibilities.

A life at sea, that's for me, only I just don't have the BREAD. That's right, Theme Thursday yet again and I post a photo of a yacht dicking about in Bass Strait just off Wynyard. The problem is, I am yet again stuck at work, slogging away, because I knead need the dough . My understanding is that it is the dough that makes the BREAD. And it is the BREAD that buys the yacht. On my salary though, I will be lucky to have enough dough or BREAD for a half dozen dinner rolls. Happy Theme Thursday people, sorry for the rush.
