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!

The first ever World Cup in Africa is won by Spain. Not who I was
supporting but then that hasn't seemed to count for much during this
tournament!

119_sleeping_a_day_away_2

After a long week after a long flight I spent most of today fast asleep. I
took this photo in a pub in Keswick, but I figured it was an appropriate
photo for today since 'nothing happened'!

We took a bet at work on the World Cup final. It was suggested by our
manager, who then recommended we up the bet from R20 to R50. She then
proceeded to win. Hmmm... suspicious! But she bought us all pizza with her
winnings so we're not complaining to loudly!

Whenever we go somewhere new, we buy a fridge magnet. Fred is the latest
aquisition.

I found myself wishing I was back in the UK today. The English summer
might not be much, but its still better than Pretoria during a cold front!
