Nobody naw give you no break, police naw give you no break, soldier naw give you no break, not even you idren naw give you no break


Here is the little urban commando patrolling the mean streets of the docks. Always on the lookout for trouble, he's like one of those Guardian Angel fellows you used to see about with those silly red berets.

Only Henry don't wear no Raspberry Beret.

He is adorable and the commando jacket suits him.

Henry, as usual, is looking gorgeous.
The commando jacket, the half-taken step and those eyes with a hint of mischief, he really looks like an angel.

As long as he doesn't become an urban terrorist.

Don't ever let him leave Tasmania. He's too beautiful to spoil.

Wow! lovely, adorable, curious and full-of-life chap. Any great master would love to have an wonderful pupil like Henry under her/him. Am I mistaken or has Henry grown really tall compared to his age?

Priyanka, he looks like a militant in Kashmir!

He keeps carrying on and I might send him there…

Yamini, or Che Guevara.

Roddy, too late…

Elaine, I was thinking of mailing him to Willits (via Kashmir).
Kris McCracken said…
KL, he is stupidly tall. He’s their height of a four or five year old and he’s only two and a half.

I should really trust you to swing a comment from one extreme to just the opposite :-))

Yamini, Che was a bit of a loser, by my reckoning. I'm not sure why he has such a following, given the monumental failure of his life.

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
