The 26th Autumn Leaf

A photographic journal of my 26th year

Lucy Rip

“You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.” These words by Robin Williams are the inspiration for this blog. Since I found that quote I have been on a quest to find the ridiculous madness in life - the kind that makes you laugh long and hard at its absurdity. I've decided to share my gems of discovery here. A candle loses nothing by lighting other candles and I suspect madness works in much the same way.

A bit about me... I'm a twenty something, living in South Africa. In my spare time I embark on ambitious house decorating projects, bake cookies with my Russel Hobbs cookie maker and hack my way around the occasional golf course. On a more serious note - I write for a digimag called illumin8. Visit www.illumin8.co.za for details or email "subscribe" to illumin8ezine@gmail.com. Its FREE!

We did a wee bit of damage to our wallets at Gateway this afternoon. Was fun (the buyer’s remorse hasn’t kicked in yet)!

A few days break in Ballito before I start my new job – we got it off to a good start!

Today was my final day at Accenture. I took this pic as I was leaving the Jo’burg office after my exit interview.

I didn’t really have much to do as it was one of my last days at Accenture and everything was pretty much wrapped up.
