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!

Today I sat on a patch of grass with good friends and ate a Panini while
looking at the Coliseum. Oh, if only every lunch was like this!

'Love Monkey' is one of the many nicknames we use for each other so this
was a well suited anniversary card!

We’ve been counting down to Italy from day 34! My mom lent us the map from the Unicorn library. When I got home today, number one had fallen off the wall and drifted down the stairs. Clearly its excited as we are!

Today Col and I drove past each other three times. It was completely bizarre since we hardly ever see each other during the day. Col spotted me on the way back to the office from a team breakfast. Then we spotted each other during lunch. Finally I pulled up behind Col on my way home.
