It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.

H: "Are you enjoying your dolphin sandwiches Ezra?" E: "Dolphin and Vegemite, Henry."

Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is not color, but to accept God's final word on where your lips end.

It's ok to grow up just as long as you don't go old. Face it, you are young.

They just about coped with the rain. Wait until we get them back into the snow...

In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn't danced on television.

Have you ever picnicked on a rock? We have.

If you can't make it better, you can laugh at it.

It is a cliché that most clichés are true, but then like most clichés, that cliché is untrue.

Henry and Ezra do their very best impersonation of two shags on a very small rock.

If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.

Henry, what are you doing?

People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.

Take the hill. Geilston Bay, March 2013. Cider With Rosie , Laurie Lee: An account of Lee's childhood in a small village in Gloucestershire, England in the immediate post-WWI War period. Sweet and fresh, if a little meandering, you can see why this one has resonated with people. C+ .

In music, one must think with the heart and feel with the brain.

A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.

PUSH!!!

A man is usually more careful of his money than of his principles.

Looking west. Tasman Bridge, as viewed from Montague Bay Primary School. Christmas Day, December 2012. Sunday? Top Five? Sunday Top Five? Okay. Here's Top Five Things That Are Working For Me! Expect nothing. Be grateful for everything. Stop taking things personally. Rinse your bowl/ plate/ cup as soon as you've finished eating! Work out what is actually necessary; don't fuss too much about the rest. When in doubt, take a deep breath and smile. Henry and Ezra complete their crossing. Tasman Bridge exit onto Montague Bay. Christmas Day, December 2012.

There is no prejudice so strong as that which arises from a fancied exemption from all prejudice.

Climbing the dunes. Nutgrove Beach, Sandy Bay. December 2012. As you know, the Internet is a wonderful place filled with the rich and varied treasures of the world holds (and RSS feeds.) The following are some things that I've had a look at in the last week. I call this: a Compendium of Click-throughs for Monday Morning... A great read on the death of a city: The Land of Topless Minarets and Headless Little Girls . Well worth your time. The Onion nails it: Right To Own Handheld Device That Shoots Deadly Metal Pellets At High Speed Worth All Of This. Humans think that they are better than animals. They are, of course, NOT . Some choice examples of futuristic Soviet architecture . John Birmingham waxes lyrical about the great experience of his daughter's state school. Hello Sailor! The Nautical Roots of Popular Tattoos... A great reverse prank courtesy of YouTube...

We are never so ridiculous through what we are as through what we pretend to be.

A pair of artists all right... The Museum of Contemporary Art, Circular Quay, Sydney. September 2012. Five MORE Words That We Need To Start Using In English! Boketto ( Japanese ) Do you ever find yourself gazing vacantly into the distance? The Japanese have a word for that. Glas wen ( Welsh ) Trust the Welsh to think of a succinct name for an insincere or mocking smile. Literally, it translates to "blue smile". Pana Po’o ( Hawaiian ) When you've lost something, and you're looking hard, do you find yourself scratching your head? If you do, then you've just pana po’o 'd! Kaelling ( Danish ) We all know this one. You know, that woman who publicly berates her children? A kaelling . Mamihlapinatapai ( Yaghan , Tierra del Fuego) You know that special look that is shared between two people when you are both wanting the other person to do something that you both want, but neither of you want to be the one to do it? That's mamihlapinatapai ....

Do we mean love, when we say love?

Ezra leads Henry... or is it Henry leading Ezra... or is it Jen leading Henry and Ezra. Whatever the case, we're in Richmond and were all headed in the direction of Henry Street , where we like to park the car. Note: still no sign of an 'Ezra Street'.

I'm a holy man minus the holiness.

Fearing the collapse of civilisation as we know it, and acutely aware of Tasmania's strategic location in terms of the forthcoming resource wars; Henry and Ezra have begun to construct a mighty fortress that shall withstand hordes of assorted barbarians, infidels, traitors, rapscallions, brigands, scoundrels, wastrels, ne'er-do-wells, blackguards, deadbeats, desperados, hoodlums, malefactors, miscreants, reprobates, ruffians, scalawags and wretches. That should keep us safe for a while...

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

Now all we have to do is liberally spray them with bright orange fake tan, pump them full of steroids and Mr Universe here we come!

The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.

Two fool-proof hiding places! Derwent Avenue walking path, Lindisfarne. March 2012. Bear with me for a MOMENT… Theme Thursday has come around and I am kind-of trapped in the MOMENT. You know what I mean, it happens now and again. A MOMENT slows down and it, well, not quite pauses but it floats . It lingers and it exists for much more than a mere MOMENT. For that MOMENT, everything stops. Sound stops. Movement stops and even though it probably isn’t really more than a MOMENT or even a fraction of a MOMENT, it feels real (really-real? Hyper-real?) for much, much more than a MOMENT. It’s like the first time that you decided that you were going to lean in and kiss her. You steel yourself and prepare yourself for the MOMENT. But it itself is a MOMENT and you don’t want to be lost in the MOMENT but the point of such a MOMENT is to get lost in the MOMENT. Are you following me?
