Little My has been away for 2 days with a work meeting retreat in a middle of the nowhere guest house place with no mobile phone signal and limited internet access. With 6 other knit your own yoghurt types. Oh dear. I hope that this is vague enough to not get me the sack, should someone stumble upon it. Then again, perhaps getting the sack would be a blessed relief!
So, the cast:

I had a good weekend. I'm still super excited about entering the International Street Photography Awards over Christmas. I should try to forget about it a little (I have my mind on something else as well though hehe), but I'm just so excited about it. I don't know why. I've never won a photography competition before. But you gotta dream big, else what's the point? Actually it's just as well the first prize doesn't involve a Leica camera or I'd be quite disappointed if...
Today is a sad day, after hearing the awful news that a Sydney Cancer Patient, Kristian Anderson (who met his fame after posting the following video on the internet) has died. I wanted to share with you his video, and the story to go with, because, while we Australians may be familiar with his story, I am aware that the majority of the population on Macmillan is from overseas, and may not be so familiar. And I wanted you all to see it:

She came to live with us cos she needed 24hour care and we didnt want her in a care home. She was only aloud at a cancer home, where people go to die. So we made her live at ours so we could look after her.

He was soaking wet and had been for some time when I got there. He is semi-awake, sometimes he trys to get a bottle but doesnt manage.
Because he is very uncomfortable to be moved around, he is naked lying on his bed with just a sheet over him. He is in and out of sleep,but trys to use a bottle, no curtains around because as I said hes not...
It's been a bit up and down for the past week. We have had days of excessive mucous,nausea, vomiting and exhaustion and some other better days. I think overall things are improving a little. Unfortunately the treatment has upset Pat's Diabetes so we have had a leg infection to cope with.
I, of for my sins got a bladder infection on Christmas Eve and by the time I got to a doctor on Wednesday it had got a hold but is improving.
Tonight we are going in to neighbours to see in the New Year...
