It is warm work; and this day may be the last to any of us at a moment. But mark you! I would not be elsewhere for thousands.


You want boats?

I’ll give you boats!

You want big boats? Here’s some big boats.

You want little boats? There’s some little boats.

Don’t talk to me about boats.

I know boats!

Not a boat in sight here, but loads of stranded trains *lol* Will have to check out your blog in more detail later and see what else you're blogging about :-)

whoaaaaaaaw I always wanted to see these boats on movies and photos but I never knew that they still exist these present days! I just hope I could have the chance to ride one in my life. The photo is just amazing! Thanks for it!

By the way, I would like to thank you for your wish of Luck on my Physics Exam earlier. It went very well as the professor gave us tolerable problems (Kirchhoff's Rules were absent) jajaja Thanks again!

Hope to see you back on Cavite Daily Photo! Mabuhay from the Philippines!

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

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
