Lacking the humility before nature. The impression of vastness, denies man the possibility of creating art.<\/p>\n<p>Jess and I walked down the gullies yesterday. Shooting, killed many rocks. Accompanied by the crazy fox terrier pup Toby, whose strenuous running on stilt-like legs amused us greatly. Dawn &amp; he spend their entire time in frivolity, food and sleep. Dawn, a seven years old puppy, a dizzy old blonde wanting to go the pace, yet lacking knowledge, not knowing, is stiff and a trifle baffled, taking the lead from Toby. Easy life, experienced through smell &amp; belly. Took Dawn again for a long walk to the village and around exhausting her fat city arse.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon gathered rock lilies in the gully for Dorothy &amp; killed 2 more rocks. Had a decent wash on our return &amp; were thereby greatly improved. Heard N.Z. Premier Savage on radio last night. Extremely good reception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>25th Thursday A lazy man\u2019s diary. Another day\u2019s entry missed.
