There is no such thing in anyone's life as an unimportant day.

What are you doing Henry?

Only on the edge of the grave can man conclude anything.

Two of my lovelies, one of them grumpy, which is which?

Sentences are not as such either true or false.

DIRIGIBLE ALERT! At home in Geilston Bay. July 2010. Part three of the 100 Question Meme ! 21. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD? Henry, but it wasn’t too major. 22. DO YOU SPEAK ANOTHER LANGUAGE? Not if you expect anybody else to understand me. 23. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU? I don’t know. 24. DO YOU LIKE SOMEONE? Sure, I like a few different people. 25. ARE YOU DOUBLE JOINTED? Technically, there is no such thing as “double jointed”. If by “double jointed” you mean “Do you have hypermobility in the joints in you hand?” Then yes, I am double jointed hypermobile in my hands. 26. FAVOURITE CLOTHING BRAND? I am not sure that I have a favourite. I buy a lot from Cotton On for Henry and Ezra. 27. WHAT’S YOUR DREAM CAR? You would have to ask Jennifer, she’s the pilot. 28. WHAT COLOUR IS IT? What colour is what? The car? Anything but yellow… 29. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE KIND OF EXERCISE? Making love. 30. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING? I am not s...

You must write for children in the same way as you do for adults, only better.

It turns out, when push comes to shove and the car lays broken down on the top of a mountain, Ezra is of as little use as his father in matters automotive.

A man should be upright, not be kept upright.

This will make a fine inner sleeve photograph for Henry's triumphant comeback on album #6.

Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.

Henry tries, and fails, to do a decent Mick Jagger impression. Quick tip for beginners, it's all in the lips ...

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

Yes?

Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.

No, it wasn't taken with a pinhole camera, but that was the kind of effect that I was going for...

I had rather have a plain Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentleman and is nothing else.

Attica. With cushions.

A wise person does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times.

He grins even in his sleep.

Humour is just another defence against the universe.

Lately, Henry has taken to telling me how much he'd like to be in a wheelchair. I keep telling him that life in a wheelchair isn't a barrel of monkeys, and definitely isn't something to aspire to (with all due respect to those of you in wheelchairs). Anyway, to prove the point, Ezra spent the day in a little cart like a bloke with no legs.

Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.

You might be forgiven for thinking that Henry and Ezra are fiddling about with some cushions here, but you'd be wrong . They are, in fact, small islands. Small islands that one perches oneself upon in order to avoid the crocodiles . Or sharks . Or crabs . Or death adders .
