When you get there, there isn't any there there.


Here is Henry on New Year's Eve with Geilston Bay in the back ground. I'm not sure whether the hill in the background there has a name, but I think that I shall call it Shag Hill [snigger, snigger], as it divides Geilston Bay and the far naughtier Shag Bay.

As you can see, walking up a hill can be hard work, especially when you're a little bloke. It's Jen's birthday today, please feel free to wish her well in the comments!

Priyanka, she has strayed from the Catholic faith, so I'm not sure about that...
Kris McCracken said…
Helen, she was suitably spoilt.
Kris McCracken said…
Jim, I quite likes it too.

Diva, I think that this might be her very first birthday greeting from Idaho.
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, I know what Jen really wants and I think that she is being greedy...

Great job holding up the feminine end of things in that man-filled household! Happy Birthday!

Kris - I've "tagged" you on my blog, so look if you dare. If not, I understand.

FF, there isn't enough eating of testicles for my liking these days. Birthday or not.

Late, but good wishes to you all the same, Jen. Happy unbirthday. Have a good new year of life with all those boys!

Dina, if she makes it through in one piece, that will qualify.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

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

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
