What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.

Greetings from Singapore! Is anybody out there?!?!

We grow tired of everything but turning others into ridicule, and congratulating ourselves on their defects.

The view from the top. The summit of Mount Wellington. September 2013. 100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know , John D. Barrow: This book explores one hundred conundrums, questions and queries through the lens of mathematics. The book runs through infinite monkeys banging out Shakespearean plays on typewriters, your odds of winning the lottery, horse races, divorce, Google, game theory, infinity and chaos; there is much to enjoy here even if Maths is something other than your strong point. While the book is (happily) not dumbed down at all, it remains jammed to the brim with equations sure to make you squirm. C+ . Life at the top. The summit of Mount Wellington. September 2013.

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

Ezra can't jump puddles.

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

More old boilers!

The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.

Hank shows his Mum how it is done.

Feeling unique is no indication of uniqueness.

Jen and Ez shooting the breeze. On a very old blown up boiler.

That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

What's Ezra doing out there?

Age considers; youth ventures.

Sunday stroll. Gellibrand Point, South Arm Peninsula. June 2013. Wordless Wednesday. Family portrait. Gellibrand Point, South Arm Peninsula. June 2013. Hen and Ez lead the way. Gellibrand Point, South Arm Peninsula. June 2013.

I am unable to understand how a man of honor could take a newspaper in his hands without a shudder of disgust.

Hartz Mountains National Park was been shaped by glaciers during past ice ages. Here we are walking up through the centre of the park to Lake Osborne, a small glacial lake reached by a walk through wet eucalypt forest, into alpine heath and then onto the lake itself. It was well worth the effort!

The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

Say "Roquefort"!

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

Snow bunnies.

Housework, if you do it right, will kill you.

Jen on the rocks (taken from the ice cold water). Clifton Beach. May 2013. Another Q and A pilfered from Sunday Stealing. This week I am dreaming, with the IF I WON 100 MILLION DOLLARS.... meme. What kind of car would you buy? Do they drive themselves yet? Where in the country would you move to? Somewhere warm and near a beach. What kind of house would you buy? A decent-sized one with good soundproofing. Would you give your family any money? If they promise to leave me alone. What charity would you donate to? None of them. I might find some microcredit organisation to help out. Would you give your friends any money? Do they have a convincing business plan? Where would you go on vacation? Everywhere! World tour... What luxury item would you buy first? I would enquire about top notch cameras, diving gear, kayaks and perhaps get a quote for a sauna. Would it change your life? Bloody oath would! Would you save any of it? I'm a saver by...

If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.

Jen looking out to sea. Clifton Beach. May 2013. Sunday Top Five ? Okay, here is Five Things That I Simply Must Have On A Pizza! Tomato paste! Garlic! Oregano! Basil! Capsicum!

Make no mistake about why these babies are here - they are here to replace us.

Ez and Jen skirt the cliffs at Flowerpot point.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Jen and Ezra slowly make their way around Lake Dobson. Before it starts snowing.
