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!

I found this photo in a gallery in Keswick. It appealed to me so I bought
it from the artist. It reminds me of A.A. Milne and appeals to my inner
child!

The 50th birthday celebration continues with an 'out of the ordinary'
birthday bash. I went as a couch potato. We had 'Christmas in July' for
lunch. Oh, and Louis Oosthuizen won the British Open! Ayoba!

We threw a family dinner party for my mom-in-law who is turning 50 soon.
This is her fabulously fluffy birthday cake with bitter chocolate icing.

A friend gave this to me for my birthday this year and today I finally

But I finally got the batik we were given for our wedding framed. It's not
hung properly yet, that's part of the bedroom redecorating plan for
sometime in October.

I bought this plant support in the UK. It's still the dead of winter, but
it's technically downhill to summer now so it won't be long before this
little butterfly can start to serve its purpose!
