Give a man a fish, tomorrow, he's gonna want another fish. Teach a man to fish, tomorrow, he's standin' next to you on the dock catchin' your fish.


Like The Old Man and the Sea, it is prize game fish for me. You can keep your mullets, flatheads, blob fish, gropers, grey nurses, box jellyfish and the like. It's Great White Sharks, Toothy Babies or nothing for me!

Mullet always seem to taunt me! They are fish that like to flip and flop in the water when the tide is low.. but they are almost impossible to catch unless you have a big cast net... but that's cheating! My daddy-o used to take me fishing every weekend! I miss it:)
A great potential catch on the line, but reeling him in - was it easy?

Oh Man! Ez is looking so small in that vast room :-O!; he is very much looking like those expedition shows on TV - a human or a group going across the Gobi Desert or Taklamakan or across the Antarctica - very similar Ez is looking - small in a vast expanse.

What is those things that he is wearing in his hand? Boxing gloves :-D?

Marie, mullet stink and have bad haircuts.

Diva, it was like the book, an elongated, gruelling exertion, eventually futile!
Kris McCracken said…
KL, he moves at a breakneck pace!

No boxing gloves, but he does have very large hands…

Yamini, one has to do something to pass the time.
Kris McCracken said…
Baino, and he loves bashing things with it!
yamini said…

Here I was deriving so much meaning from it and you brushed it off, just like that!!!!!

Yamini, one has to at least appear cavalier.

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

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
