The death of dogma is the birth of morality.


Ezra loves the vacuum cleaner, LOVES it. I would go so far to say that it is his favourite thing at the moment. If I let him, he'd vacuum morning noon and night.

I like this photo, if you don't mind me commenting. There is a subtlety to the colour, tone and light that I wish I could replicate at will. I'm not one of those "straight out of the camera" Nazis, but this one was!

A lovely pic. Zac loved the vac too. He would cuddle it everytime I started to clean. I think it was the warm air emananting from it and the sound it made...but I'm only guessing. Who knows what is in a baby's mind???

He does prefer to vac rather than mow when asked his preference for which chores to help with these days.

PS I don't think I would get much od anything done if I had Ezra around. I think I would just want to pick him up all the time to cuddle. He just looks so cuddly!

These babies/toddlers, whenever they do something, they look so serious. Have you ever wondered what they are thinking? Their vocabulary and language skill is not that up to the scale that they think complex thoughts. But something must be going through their minds perhaps as images. Someone somewhere should do these research.

Another adorable pic of Ezra :-), a scientist in thought thinking about the design of the future vacuum cleaners.

you like vacuuming, he likes vacuuming... by this logic you two must be related ;-)

I am sure by now Ez knows how the machine works.

Sue, he’s easy to do stuff around. Henry can be a struggle.

Miles, the Great War took many of the good joke writers. Hence the “Great Joke Drought” of the ‘20s.

Priyanka, I am glad to say that Ez and me are alike. He’s a top bloke!

ha, you'd think that kids wouldn't like vaccuum cleaners at all because of the noise.

Glad you're having the poor boy do all the housework already!

Kitty, they need to start pulling their weight early.

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. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Can you believe that it is time for Theme Thursday already? Today we are not talking chocolate , toddlers , mess or ignominy . No, today we're dealing with ANIMAL . Now I could have posted a picture of a possum, numbat, wombat, wallaby or any other furry killing machine that roams our fair isle, but I figure that I'd use a far more deadly creature as an example of an animal . Some people - I know them as fools - have chosen to embrace that highfalutin idea that human beans are for some ungodly reason superior to animals. Of course, what these imbeciles seem to forget is that were are simple animals ourselves ! Anyone with a baby, toddler, teenage boy or Queenslander in their household could tell you this. Look at Henry [above]. One chocolate frog in the back of the car on a sunny day and all of a sudden it's Elagabalus meets Bacchus for a quick shandy in the Serengeti and we're down on all fours carrying on like a cat in heat. Fair dinkum, anyone who chooses to ...
