Distance is a great promoter of admiration!


Can you believe it? Post number 900! Who would have thought that we'd make it this far? Time to sit back down in the Errol Flynn Reserve in Sandy Bay, gaze off over the Derwent and reflect on what has gone before me.

Alright, enough of that, I've got sleep to attend to!

Congrats, Kris. I admire that you do it with all that you have to do. How your life has changed since you started. It is nice to share it with you. Mwah!!! Here's to the next 900!!

nice peaceful photo...
Congratulations Kris. 900!!! I's great. I don't know if someday I'll do that (today 140)
About the photo: It's a so peaceful shot. I have to rest there.
I don't know if you have visited my added post of jan. 20. I would like that you could visit it.

Your blog is lush with abundant postings, so I'm not really surprised! Your imagination and creativity will not be tethered to infrequent expression. I still say you should produce your own television show.

I really love this shot ;)

Did you really take this photo??!!
Kris McCracken said…
FF, yes I took it on Monday afternoon with the camera that I got for X-mas
Kris McCracken said…
FF, don't you believe that I can capture beauty with the lens?
Kris McCracken said…
Miles, everybody deserves sleep! Well, except for Pete Waterman.
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, it gives me something to do.

I need to express this creativity somehow because work certainly doesn't do it!
Kris McCracken said…
MDP, I am honoured that you'd pick me. I PROMISE to do that post that honours the awards people have kindly given me soon!

Elaine, unless it is a reality thing with has-beens and never-wases getting it on, I fear that the networks won't take a punt.

I was the cheif interview on the main story on the news last week, does that count?
Kris McCracken said…
Bazby, I quite like it myself too! Thanks!
G. B. Miller said…
Wow.

I agree with Miles. 900 makes my 205 look like absolutely nothing.

Congrats.

This pic is my screensaver for now...I love it. Pa liked it too.
I can really picture myself sitting on that seat and just enjoying the serenity of the place. It truly does seem like 'a seat at the edge of the world'.

Georgie, I take a lot of photos and talk a lot of rubbish, what can I say? ;)
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, there are a lot of seagulls there that will hassle you for chips!

That said, Errol Flynn did learn to swim there...
Sue said…
There are a lot of seagulls that hassle you for chips on Flinders St station in Melbourne...I would much rather be hassled on that seat in Tassie!!!
And I L-O-V-E Errol Flynn!!!!!!!!!!!
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, did you know that Errol had a certain "asset" that used to distract his leading ladies whenever he wore tights?

I think that it must be something in the Tasmanian water and fresh air...
Sue said…
I was aware of Errol's attributes...although that is not what attracts me to him. Am rather fond of swashbucklers, I am afraid!!
But I do know a few Victorian males from the past, who would be wise to avail themselves of the qualities of the Tasmanian air and water, if that indeed is the outcome!!???
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, maybe I should bottle the air and water and sell it on teh Internets?

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
