Economy in pleasure is not to my taste.


Humility prevents me from saying that I have the most handsome children going around, so I won't say it.

Obviously, I can't stop anyone else from saying it, however...

I was thinking about having a caption competition, but don't have a prize. Is anyone interested in some old cassette tapes?

There's a novel by a Ghanaian writer titled The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born. Maybe that's how I want to say that wait'll my kids are born!

Ezra is fast growing up into a handsome young man.

Oh! I can see how humble you are :-P. And, I can also see those precious blue buttons that you choose,the most difficult job in the world :-D.

Absolutely cutie-pie precious.

Sooooooo adorable. Look at that smile! You do have the cutest children around (but of course, I have the cutest teen around).
I can start to see some resemblence btw the boys now. Ezra's facial features are changing.
I was able to take my eyes off of Ezra for a sec to notice the lovely blanket and his sweater. I'm envious of his wooly collection.

who is asking you to be modest...

They are both growing too fast. You and your brother were just children one day and when I turned round you had both grown past me. I missed so much. Thank you for keeping me abreast of the progress of my two astronomical grandchildren. I am so proud and so pleased to have such photogenic grandchildren. Thank you so much!!!

Kris McCracken said…

Kris McCracken said…
KL, my humility prevents me telling you just how humble I am.
Kris McCracken said…
Tash, the jumper AND the blanket are both Jen's handiwork!
Kris McCracken said…
Tania, but what about those buttons? Whooo-wheee they are beauties!
Kris McCracken said…

You have the most handsome children going around, yes! Only, except my two nieces!!!
Wonderful photo, colorful like your mood!!
Kris McCracken said…
KL, my children are both dressed with a sound sense of colour combination. I am very firm in that regard.
Kris McCracken said…
Kitty, have you seen his father?
Kris McCracken said…
Lemon, little girls are smelly and horrible. Everyone knows that little boys are the best!

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

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
