Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.


Here is a photo from a few months back of Jen attempting to hypnotise Ezra. I've had to dip into the unpublished stock again, because I fear that the recent crop of photos feature cranky, tired and snot-covered dirt magnets, which is not at all the image the world wants or needs to see of Tasmania.

Thus, until they sharpen up their acts, you'll have to put up with this lot where theu are adorable, photogenic and/or smiling for the camera!

Geez, wasn't he small. Not to mention very good looking.
Eye contact or at least a swinging watch. Isn't that how you hypnotise?

Hey, that's cheating!!!!

We want to see Henry and Ezra just the way they are, plzzzzzzz

Dirt magnets or not, they have become the apples of our eyes and we wouldn't want to miss any aspect of their growing years. So, dnt worry about the picture quality as long as it has Henry, Ez or both in it. :-))
they don't have to be perfect. Btw, Tag you're it. I left a little something for you. Come out and check it out.

there was a program on TV last night featuring Tasmania, and the "devils" and extinct Tasmanian Tigers. Now they are considering whether they are truly extinct or hiding in the depths of the rainforests. Any opinions or sightings?

Roddy, he is very handsome.

Yamini, no, I was being honest.

Liza, I am heading your way now.

Chris, they are dead as dodos, unfortunately. Given the effort spent to find one over the past 80 years, we'd have one by now.

It's sad that it took killing them all for people to realise that they actually nifty creatures.

You guys are so brave to have kids. Geez.

I've been wondering about children. I'm not sure I'm up to it.
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka, I've got a few new ones, and plan some more for the weekend.

Kitty, you never know until you try. It's hard work.

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
