A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.


It's Ezra, it's up close, and by christ I have a rotten headache. Camomile hasn't dented it, nor has paracetamol. This is going to take trading in the toddler for a goldfish.

Attend to your headache by drinking 2 l of water. While you drink it, tell your hart to send a harmonic signal to your brain and calm yourself down by being in silence for 5 mins and keeping communicating a balance out of you hart.

I know - it does not make any sense, however try it - the pain, if it is not a massive one, will go away after 15 minutes.

Awesome photo of Ez!!!! the touch of drool is cute, i am sure he must have been enjoying the chocolate. I agree with Mo, do show this to Ez on his 16th birthday. He will be amused...

I've heard the headaches spike up again in about 12 or 13 years and stay for another 5 or more. If you live that long.
Have you read the Neil Gaiman book "The day I swopped my dad for a goldfish"?
Your kids might love it when their a little older...it's a kids picture book.

Yamini, we didn’t have any chocolate this Easter. The lads are going dairy free for a few weeks.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, he is an agreeable fellow.
Kris McCracken said…

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
