Henry versus the parnips

The Henry faction were upset that the Ezra faction were treated with a video last week. Here is the square up, with Henry doing his best Nigella Lawson impression.

THANK YOU!!!!
But Henry looks like he is shying away from the camera. What happened?
KL said…
Awwwww....he can speak so nicely nowadays :-) :-)....hugs..hugs...

It's funny, "mashing Ezra." :-). Was that a slip of tongue or children don't understand the use of all these prepositions in English, even if it is their mother-tongue?

O Kris, by the way, have you watched the Indian movie "Lagaan?" You might want to watch it as one of its central theme is Cricket. I am saying this because I think in one of your comments, you have something to say about Rahman, the music composer of Slumdog Millionaire. He is also the same composer of Lagaan. I have not watched SM yet. But Lagaan is beautiful along with its songs. Lagaan was nominated (if I remember correctly) in the best foreign film category in Oscar.

That is one cute video.

Abraham Lincoln said, "Hello," all the way from Brookville, Ohio in the U.S.A. And his wife of 53 years said hello too.

Yamini, it was more a case that he was propped up on the bench and couldn't run at me...
Kris McCracken said…
KL, he's still grasping the proper syntax, but I can't be too hard on him, most people I encounter make similar mistakes!
Kris McCracken said…
KL, I've not seen Lagaan, but I know of it. I don't get much of a chance to watch movies these days, although I did see Madagasgar 2 the other day...
Kris McCracken said…
Babzy, he never shuts up!
Kris McCracken said…
Pat and Abe, good to have the both of you around!
Sue said…
I just wanna know what your wife is doing to Ezra in the background? He is going up and down like a yoyo! Or was that him bouncing himself??
Your last remark to Henry was a touch cynical!!?? hehehe
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, that is Ez going like the clappers in his bouncy chair. He has great rhythm in his leg thrusting to generate bounce and can work up a real sweat.

Cynicism that has been generated by Henry's false claims.
Sue said…
Honestly...Ez looks like he is about to launch like a Soviet Soyuz rocket!
Perhaps one of his middle names could have been "Sputnik"???

All joking aside...the boys are growing so fast. They truly are so damn gorgeous! I just love the fact that I can watch them grow through your blog...gotta love technology! I really feel like I know them even though we have never met them! Even Cody and Zac like looking at the pics and videos to see what they are up to!

Sue, both of them are very athletic boys. I had Henry out running on an oval yesterday evening.

I have photos.

Thiên, he threw his shoes at his mother's head this afternoon.

Not ten seconds after being told off for throwing his shoes at me!

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
