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!

Karen brought me flowers today (yay, because my others have all died). These are some of the most interesting that I've ever seen though. They're like crushed velvet.

I had my first proper bath in a week today! It was the first thing I wanted to do when I get home. I felt a million times better after it!

My brother brought me this little toy cat when he came to visit. Later in the day it was half hidden under the sheets when the nurse came in. She saw it and nearly had a heart attack because she thought it was real. She was half way through her lecture about animals not being allowed in hospitals before she figured it out it was a toy!

They really are cheerful cookies and when you are in hospital you need all the cheering up you can get!

I saw my doctor on arriving back in SA. My leg was infected so he sent me straight to the Little Company of Mary. Yikes!
