An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field.


So I say to Henry, "you're a rebel. What's your cause?"

He replied that he wasn't sure, but that it involved chips in some way...

Did Henry say that? I thought he was very good at keeping secrets. Like he hasn't yet revealed whom he would be taking with him on THAT catamaran, remember?

The camera angle in this photograph is interesting. This was the scene where Henry did some kind of a somersault and distracted both Jen and Ezra's attention away from the camera, isn't it?

I am back after a long holiday :-). Has a lot to catch up with your blog, but in the meantime how are you all doing - Jen, Ez, Henry and you? Hope everything is great.

So, the two musketeers are now off to kindergarten?

I don't feel like I've made all the mistakes I can make yet.

Lovely picture, but I do believe that it is file footage. The children don't appear to be as old as some of your recent posts. Ezra isn't standing and Henry doesn't appear to need a haircut.

KL, I thought that you'd gone missing.
Kris McCracken said…
Sarah, I'm still making plenty.
Kris McCracken said…
Mrsupole, I love chips.
Kris McCracken said…
Diedrick, I don't feel great!
Kris McCracken said…
DeeDee, he wants hot chips.

Roddy, of course it is file footage. There is only so much time in the day!

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
