It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.


Another morning, another one of 10 Murray, another one of the moon in the sky. Are you sensing a pattern?

I am as busy as a Marxist beaver today, the masses against the classes and all that jazz. That said, I am making headway, so HURRAH COMRADE!

In a strange sort of way, I tend to like 10 Murray. The stark lines, and the moon enhances the building. It could almost be midnight at the South Pole.
The ladders? Do they actually go anywhere or do they stop at the top and bottom of each ledge?

...or even *Marxist rubbish.

A fool and his typos are soon prated.

Speaking of Marxists, I've been listening to a CD (which no doubt you know) Billy Bragg and Wilco - Mermaid Avenue.
I love a particular track on it "The Unwelcome Guest" - good stuff, will be putting it in the play book.

Don't know what 10 Murray is but it looks intriguing. I do know about the 'daytime' moon though ... saw it on a recent cruise, never having seen it before.

Roddy, the ladders are to aid in suicide. Haven't you been listening?

Vince, you know that there are two volumes of those albums? I saw BB tour the first one (minus Wilco). He even did the Uni Bar, back when the Uni Bar had real music.

Valarie, 10 Murray is a
common theme here...

Perhaps I never heard! Do I hit myself over the head with them before jumping off the building? Suicide prevention or enhancement?

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

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

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
