Bleak and harrowing

February 2nd, 2011 · Comments Off on Bleak and harrowing · Life

Earlier today I found what has to be the bleakest, most harrowing, and depressing website in the world.   It is the result of an 18-year photographic documentary project called The Julie Project. Have a look, but don’t blame me if, afterwards, you feel that a little bit of yourself has died.

Just in time for Mother’s Day

March 11th, 2010 · Comments Off on Just in time for Mother’s Day · Life

I do not normally succumb to advertising, but yesterday I clicked through one of the adverts on Spotify.  It was for a company called Flowe(red).   They do flower deliveries, but unlike the other companies that do the same all profits go to the Global Fund to help eradicate AIDS in Africa.

World AIDS Day

November 29th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Life

Does anyone know if there are any events in Crawley to mark World AIDS Day this weekend? Before its implosion and demise the charity Mid-Sussex Body Positive used to organise a church service, but I have heard of nothing happening now that MSBP has gone, and a look through this list of events reveals nothing […]

At first glance it looks like a lolly… its actually an interestingly packaged condom. They were being given away at a conference to promote AIDS awareness at the Civic Hall the other week. Probably best to keep this one away from young kids.

Its World AIDS Day tomorrow. We all have our ribbon badges from Kidzpositive of course – with Jayne now working for an HIV charity we don’t have much of a choice, but we tend to mark the event anyway.

Playing with the camera – 1 Halloween

October 29th, 2005 · Comments Off on Playing with the camera – 1 Halloween · Life

I was at the Mid-Sussex Body Positive Halloween party the other night, and took a few photos for them. Well, OK, I took about 60 but I have a 256Mb memory card and the camera is still a new toy to play with. I am still at the stage where I am experimenting with different […]

AIDS day

December 4th, 2004 · Comments Off on AIDS day · Life

This Wednesday was World AIDS day. This weekend there was a service at the Barn Church in Bewbush. Last year I went as one of my obligations as Deputy Mayor and, although I am not a religious person at all, I found it to be a pleasant service, and so I was looking forward to […]
