This will hurt me...

Part two of my "boys by walls" series...

Ezra's philosophy is to just stuff it all in at one go and force it all down...

Sexy boys and sexy girls. Opossum Bay Beach, Half Moon Bay. January 2013. Another Sunday Stealing Q and A, The Mixed Bag Meme ! 1. How many songs are in your library? 25,288. Give or take a few. 2. Do you like Christmas music? Not very much. 3. What magazines do you have subscriptions to? I don't. I do regularly read BBC History Magazine and pick up The Economist every now and then. 4. What is your favourite scent? Sandalwood is always nice. 5. Do you give money to charity? Only when I know where it is going. 6. What is your theme song? Gimme Some Lovin' always gets me rocking. 7. What's in your wallet? Money, cards, receipts. Nothing unusual. 8. Do you generally think before you act, or act before you think? It is possible that I think too much before I act. 9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days? I am trying very hard to let things slide. 10. Do you have a good body-image? Historically, no. More recently, I'm maki...

Children can get very grating.

Carn the Bombers! Home, Geilston Bay. September 2012. As you know, the Internet is a wonderful place filled with the rich and varied treasures of the world holds (and RSS feeds.) The following are some things that I've had a look at in the last week. I call this: a Compendium of Click-throughs for Monday Morning... What industry uses 30 billion watts of energy (the equivalent of the output of about 30 nuclear power plants), wastes 90% of that and pollute the environment by belching diesel exhaust, all while cloaked in near total secrecy? A clue? You're on it! Have an idea but not a word for it? You can bet that the Germans do! (It might even be eisenbahnknotenpunkthinundherschiebershäuschen ...) How to teach your child to love reading... The doctors prescribing the drugs don't know they don't do what they're meant to. Nor do their patients. The manufacturers know full well, but they're not telling. Ben Goldacre explains in The Guardian. Reconstruc...

Henry starts up an impromptu freestyle jazz riff with the sticks as Ez gets ready to scat his way through a bebop interpretation of Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov . We are thinking of taking the act to the next Arkhangelsk urban fringe festival, but just need some start up capital for air fares and bribes...

What's going on here?

Off to feed the ducks. And a few geese. As well as the odd native hen.

The colour of the day is... BLUE.

Ez does his best impression of a giraffe.

Consider this a unique Tasmanian variant of a traditional game: nude spotlight .

Can you believe that I still have photos hanging about from the trip to Melbourne?

Lost in the bush with a scarcity of food, Henry finally tried his broccoli eight days in...

Can you believe it? THREE for the price of ONE this evening. I’ve got ‘em playing it straight! I’ve got ‘em leanin’ back! I’ve got ‘em bein’ silly! You name it, I’ve got it.

Here’s Henry enjoying the view of the seals at play. Lest you feel that I’m denying my beautiful boy his rightful place in the sun with such a dark photograph, here’s one taken of him in the sun , mounted atop a seal like Jim Pike on Phar Lap. Incidentally, if you’re a fan on similarly geographically-specific and incredibly dated analogies, I do a fine line in Napoleonic-era glassblowers set against 1980s Essendon footballers…

Here’s one from a few weeks back: Henry’s first day of Kindergarten . The wonderful Lindisfarne North Primary School didn’t know what hit it. It does now!

Having one little Errol Flynn about the place presents a very real challenge. Now, having two little Errol Flynns running amok, that’s just plain ridiculous!

I am fortunate to have two such handsome, intelligent, courageous, courteous, enchanting, delightful and (frankly) tremendous little blokes for sons…

No Mr Bond… I expect you to DIE !

I never knew that you could Vogue on the beach…
