The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinion.


The last of my trio of walls is now posted. Here you can see the winning combination of red brick and sandstone! I like the subtle interplay of colour here.

So there are the three. Now I want you guys to tell me which is your favourite. I know which one I am presently leaning towards, but wouldn't mind an idea of what people think.

The “make it fit” is my favourite.

I like the first one best too. It has hints of hidey holes and I like hidey holes. Nice mixture of shapes and sizes in that one.

The first one is my favorite too. I like the texture.

I have always leant toward sandstone.
Pure colonial I guess.
Julie said…
Umm ... they all be the same wall ...

I like them all; I'm a big fan of structures, but I like this one best, because of that stripe of red brick.
The headline is a good quote that tells that I'm not crazy to change my mind so often ;-)

Oh, I really like this photo.
I reckon you could crop out that sticky out bit on the left.

I'm on board for the first approach. All good, though.

I like the second one.

Reminds of where I work.

BTW: nice blog.

Priyanka, if I'm honest, mine too.

Blackie, it does draw the eye.

Caroloa, I think we have a winner.

Roddy, and another supporter.

Julie, no, they were all taken at different locations across a couple of suburbs, all in the same lunch hour though!

April, I'm with Keynes on this one, when attacked for changing his mind on something he replied, "my opinion changes when the facts change, what do you do old boy?"

FF, I find it difficult to crop sticky out bits, as a man.

Elaine, another vote.

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
