About

I'm Lyall, a generation Y health professional who enjoys using apparatus for capturing moving images from time to time.

Conversations, wine, coffee and socks are nice too.

For the most part this tumblelog isn't a beacon of erudition however occasionally I post serious entries about healthcare and the image of nursing.

I have a surprising number of fashion and chaps related posts.

I run Space Rules, contribute to We Come From A Sunburnt Country a tumblr about Australia and a tumblr dedicated to gastronomic atrocities of the past called Aspic And Other Delights .

For the time being I'm in Perth, Western Australia.

Ask a question.

Overheard At A Coffee Shop This Morning

  • Guy #1: So are you getting a tattoo or are you going to be chickening out and staying with the normals?
  • Guy #2: I was thinking about it and decided not to since I didn't want to fall in with the normals.
  • Guy #1: You just chickensh!t that's all you are. Afraid to get something and staying with the conformed.
  • Guy #2: I was thinking about it and thought that if I got a tattoo I'd just be conforming and a part of the normal now. You have a tattoo, those two over there have tats, and she does as well... just about 90% people in this place have tats on display. So, I figured If I don't get tat and piercings I won't be conforming to the norm... so whose the one that's conformed now?

Despite the difficulties of my story, despite discomforts, doubts, despairs, despite impulses to be done with it, I unceasingly affirm love, within myself, as a value. Though I listen to all the arguments which the most divergent systems employ to demystify, to limit, to erase, in short to depreciate love, I persist: “I know, I know, but all the same…” I refer the devaluations of a lover to a kind of obscurantist ethic, to a let’s-pretend realism, against which I erect the realism of value: I counter whatever “doesn’t work” in love with the affirmation of what is worthwhile.

Author of Touching the Void, Joe Simpson’s exchange with a young Turk studying English.
“I wrote you a few months ago. I said I had an exam about your book,” ran his plaintive tweet. “I failed because of you. You owe to me!”
Oddly, Simpson’s reply – “Nope, you’re just crap at English” – failed to smooth things over.
“I am a student who learn English,” he shot back. “But you are a stupid who fell down on the mountain. We are waiting you in Turkey!”

No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.

When someone is enjoying my body I also want my body to be respected in the same way I respect their body.

Maybe respecting bodies comes so naturally to me because it’s an essential part of my profession.

No rescue boat can save the touches I left bobbing in the wild ocean of your flesh, but if they cut open your heart, like the belly of a shark, dumped its contents on a table—would there be any trace of me?
