An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.


Longing for summer. Opossum Bay, February 2011.

Thus far in the life of this blog there have been quite a few posts. Two-thousand, six-hundred and eighty-nine posts, to be exact.

2,689.

A decent amount of posts you will agree. At the bottom of every post, you’ll find a number of tags. How many tags, you ask?

I dunno, count them!

Of course!

I believe that had something to do with an old advertisment.
Stefan Jansson said…
Ha, that is a lot of tags. I will have to check mine as I know I have a few misspelled ones. Nice boat here.
Carola said…
Great boat shot.

So much tags, unbelievable . They made me smile sometimes.

The tags are like your blog: awesome, gorgeous, stunning, funny, nice, ... great inspiration, never boring.
Kris McCracken said…
Steffe, there are too many for me to keep track of now!

Carola, the tags tell a story by themselves!

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.
