You're gonna need a bigger boat


Sharks have been in the news here in Australia today, another swimmer became breakfast for a Great White, another tried to eat the winning yacht in the Sydney to Hobart race, and some dudes in kayaks got a spectacular home movie to show when the get back to work.

This is the closest I have been to a shark today, and at the moment Ezra's uppers are more of the gummy variety. Don't worry though, there are two little razor sharp beauties coming along nicely along the bottom.

That's the thing about Australia you see, just can't move without bumping into a shark. Or a crocodile. The crocs are a whole other story...

Well, this shark is definitely on the cute side, and home movie material-worthy.

This is a wonderful photo of Ezra. Thanks very much for sharing your children with us. It is a real pleasure to see them growing up on a daily basis. It's also a real pleasure to visit your blog regularly and catch up with what you're doing and thinking. Best wishes to you and your family for the New Year. (I hope your computers recover - mine died about a month ago and has recently been replaced.)

Priyanka, he is getting another tooth now.

Bea, great to hear. Am happy to answer any Hobart-related questions!

Diva, he is less frightening than Jaws, that is true.

Jim, just like his father!

Sue, I shall ignore that comment.

Benjamin, I like posting their pictures, it is kind of an online repository for memory, should anything happen. I'm amazed that people are interested!

FF, are there many sharks in Ararat?

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

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
