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.

Just because she was my nan everyone thinks oh shes just old its ok. She isnt old. She is 63,

Tonight I am very angry, so angry I dont know where to start.
My husband was supposed to have a cafeter in yesterday, when I left today he still hadnt got one.
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...
Right so feeling like a rant to finish 2011 . At the start of December I had a lump removed that has been there for well over a year. I have been to the doctors/hospital about it several times and after scans have always been told its just a lipoma a fatty lump, nothing to worry about and certainly don't need to remove it! But something has been niggling away in the back of my mind so I went back to the hospital last summer and they agreed to remove it. I had it taken out at the start of December...
Christmas & moving house has been a great distraction however now I am left thinking about what is happening and finding it difficult to not break down. I have so many questions again but the one, the main and most important one is when will I know if they got it all, and if it has spread anywhere else. Trying to organise life post op is quite stressful but I do have amazing friends who have stepped up as I only knew they would. Still, I am utterly terrified of what comes next and can't stop...
