The upside of the bad news is that Rowie has finally found a reason behind the fatigue she's been suffering from. I have to admit that on occasion I've questioned whether there was actually a problem (before we found out what was going on) - sometimes it's "easier" to assume the simplest answer, particularly when the various doctors Rowie has seen are confirming that, from their point of view, all is well.
It's not all bad.
Sure, this operation isn't going to be easy... Just getting through the description of it was a pretty harrowing experience from where I was sitting (Rowie of course took it in her stride and asked all the right questions). But once it's done, it's done for at least 20 years, and by all accounts, Rowie's life will resume after the two months of recovery. Personally I think it will take at least six months, but then Rowie is a fighter - she has a goal in mind and wants to get there.
The oddest thing is how life goes on... but then I guess it isn't that odd really.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed the full moon and thought it'd be a good opportunity to spend a couple of hours doing one of my favourite things - night photography. I think it's the fact that you have to apply a bit of thought to actually getting a half decent photo that I like. This image to the right is of a building called "Customs House" which is one of Brisbanes older buildings. 
In contrast, the photo to the left is of a group of buildings that have been built around "Kangaroo Point" which used to be a bit of an after-thought in Brisbane. Now it's a yuppy haven and prices have hit the stratosphere - even in the current G.F.C. Lastly this one was taken from Kangaroo Point facing into the city. Story Bridge suffers a little from not being the Harbour Bridge and not being in Sydney - personally I think it has a certain character that will develop as Brisbane "grows up".
So, some stuff that's not bad news...
