The blood of Jesus Christ can cover a multitude of sins, it seems to me.


Rubbish! St Georges Terrace, Battery Point. October 2012.

More questions from all over the World. I do welcome others though, just stick them in the comments or send me an e-mail...


  1. Are you cocky?
    I have my moments. Cocky (within reason) can be an effective tool to have under your belt.
  2. How do most people spell your name?
    They usually spell it "Chris", which is incorrect.
  3. What are you glad you quit?
    Caring.
  4. What do you sometimes pretend to understand that you really do not?
    What would be the point? If I don't understand something, I usually ask for an explanation. That is how one learns.
  5. What should always be taken seriously?
    Comedy.
  6. What should never be taken seriously?
    Death.
  7. Who is the youngest in your family?
    It used to be me, but now it is Ezra.
  8. Do you have a dishwasher?
    I do. I never saw the point, but then I had children.
  9. Ever been to Georgia (the state)?
    No I have not. I've not been to America full stop. I do like the sound of Savannah though.
  10. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil?
    Of course it isn't. That kind of thing has got us into trouble before!

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
