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.

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.

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!!!

KL, my humility prevents me telling you just how humble I am.

KL, my children are both dressed with a sound sense of colour combination. I am very firm in that regard.

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
