The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.


Laneway. Just off Russell Street, Sandy Bay. November 2011.

Theme Thursday today brings a lot of promise.

TOMORROW, you see. There is always TOMORROW. TOMORROW offers all the opportunities in the world. Whatever happens today, TOMORROW awaits.

TOMORROW it might not rain. TOMORROW I might stay dry.

TOMORROW I will start losing weight. TOMORROW I will get myself fit. TOMORROW I educate myself, smarten up, tart up and address all of those niggly little things that have constrained me up to this point.

TOMORROW I will quit drinking so much coffee. TOMORROW I stop eating all that junk. TOMORROW I will tidy up my desk and finish up that work that’s been hanging around for weeks.

TOMORROW I will walk more upright, look people in the eye and tackle everything with 110 percent. TOMORROW I will be more attractive to the opposite sex, smell better, smile better, run faster, leap higher, swim further and sing in a more harmonious voice.

TOMORROW I will be a more generous tipper, lover, brother, husband and father.

TOMORROW.

There is always TOMORROW.

You do realise that tomorrow will never arrive, for when it gets here tomorrow is still on the horizon.
Sorry, it didn't get here, for today is today.

Can't stop laughing about the smell better one. I have so many tomorrow wishes and also keep waiting for tomorrow to come and for me to make those changes. I am thinking I will have to do them when tomorrow does come. Hubby will be so happy.

Although I guess that today is another day of which nothing much will be accomplished. I just love today and know that someday tomorrow will not be a day away.

I think you have a lot of great ideas for Tomorrow's Theme Thursday today. Thanks for playing with this weeks theme.

God bless.

A quote from me:

"The only thing that cannot successfully be put off until a later time is procrastination."

Great post, and I'm with Brian on the title.

Roddy, it has been and gone.

Mrsupole, more people should try to smell better.

Angelmay, every day is tomorrow somewhere.

Hvinhell, they should award medals.

Brian, that is Chuchill on the mugs who voted him in!

Silver Fox, I dunno, I reckon I've worked with people who have managed that...

Zongrik, madness!

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
