I saw him onto his bus and told him to watch out for flying trees and roof tiles (we live in Scotland where the wind has been very bad) he just looked at me as though I were mad, but I did get I love you so he is forgiven.

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.

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.

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.
