A good man can be stupid and still be good. But a bad man must have brains.


Jen and Hen take an eye quiz halfway up the Nut! The Nut, Stanley, Tasmania's North West Coast. February 2012.

Tuesday Q and A and we continue to trawl our way through The 99'er Meme: Part 3. This week, no celebrity 'dating' question!

51) Do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong?
Absolutely. One tries not to dwell on it, but of course I begrudge when people get away with something shocking…

52) What is your astrological sign?
Taurus. It must be all nonsense though, because they reckon that I must be stubborn and ferocious in my anger!

53) Do you save money for anything? What?
I like to keep a buffer there for whatever might be needed. Never let that number anywhere near zero is my philosophy.

54) What's the last thing you purchased?
Shoes and shorts.

55) Have you ever had a relationship that you realised was lust not love?
I’ve never confused anything else with love.

56) In a relationship?
Yes.

57) How many relationships have you had?
Not many.

58) What do you want to tell us about your day?
A usual kind of day. As most days are…

59) Where were you yesterday?
I woke up and was at home. Then I went out and was at work. Then I went home again.

60) Is there anything interesting within 10 feet of you?
The document released by the Fair Work Ombudsman entitled Best Practice Guide for Gender Pay Equity is exhilarating stuff.

61) Are you wearing socks right now?
Indeed I am.

62) What's your favourite animal?
I like Great White Sharks, saltwater crocodiles, tigers and wolves.

And wombats.

63) What is your secret weapon to get someone to like you?
My natural charm, good looks and excellent sense of humour.

64) Where is your best friend?
She’s at home.

65) How did you end your last relationship end?
You know, I honestly can’t recall…

66) What is your heritage?
Mixed.

67) What were you doing last night at 12 AM?
Sleeping.

68) What's new?
I think that you might be asking the wrong person.

69) What is the key to seduction?
It depends. For some it is a big fat wallet.

70) What was the weirdest thing that happened to you this week?
A very odd conversation with someone that I am certain was uncomfortable for both of us.

71) You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late one more time, you get fired. What do you do?
A dog? Pffft, as if I’m going to jump in a filthy canal for a dog.

72) You are at the doctor’s office and she has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. a) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? b) What do you do with your remaining days? c) Would you be afraid?

a) I’d stew on it for a bit, but really must tell the missus.

b) I’d be thinking hard about how I might go about getting my hands on some cash, QUICKLY.

c) Bloody oath I would.

73) You can only have one of these things: trust or love.
Well, you can’t have the latter without the former.

74) What's a song that always makes you happy when you hear it?
Even The Bad Times Are Good by The Tremeloes is a good one. They sound like they are having great fun!

75) Who has your cell phone number (other than family)?
Very few people indeed.

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
