There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.


I think that the central reason that both of my boys love the beach so much is that deep within - underneath the manners, dictatorial tendencies and transcendental philosophy - lurks the spirit of a pirate.

Check out that grin. You'd have thought that he'd just scored an extra ration of rum!

A fine shot of Jen as well. Methinks Ez has something of the look of Dad, and Henry more of the look of Mom.

Elaine, that concurs with my observation, although Henry is picking up some handsome features that I assume come from me...

Yamini, it should come as little surprise that the beach is one of my favourite places to take photos.

Ez looks so happy... if i was not as good as I am (a lil narcissistic streak never did any harm), I would have envied that smiling baby for the fun he is having on the beach while i slog in office.

but glad at least someone has a beach in their city to go to.

Happy beach-ing! from a scorching Delhi.

I see that Ezra has already at least 6 teeth. How many months has Ezra old? My son is now 16 months old and last week he left his seventh tooth, and now he is leaving the eighth tooth. My wife and I took 2 weeks sleeping little.
Babies could be born with teeth all at once ;)

Babzy, he slept through the night again, so we're all happy!

Priyanka, you can envy babies. I do, laying around at home all day long...

MDP, Ez is now about eight and a half months. He's had six teeth since about seven months.

Henry got them even more quickly!

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
