I'm sorry that you two can't be together, but soon!! I love the picture of you and the Mr. at the port of S.F. I remember standing at that exact spot a few years ago. I just LOVE San Francisco and miss it terribly. Have you been to the Exploratorium near Golden Gate Park? There's some wonderful architecture there left from a World's Fair Expo at the turn of the century. There's been quite a few movies filmed there too. There's one domed area with beautiful lady statues on pillars near the roof and it's said if you stand in the center and kiss your beloved, you'll be together forever. So far it's worked for me for 28 years!! So what happened to your toe?? Happy Anniversary! I’m sorry that you two can’t be together, but soon!!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, I have this picture in my head of a very baffled Colin Firth observing you from afar as you "stuck knitting needles"etc. Watch out for the Blythe Social Services.

It's one of those colds that makes me sound completely dreadful, but in actual fact I'm feeling fine- no headaches, no temperatures, no blocked but streaming noses; I'm just a little hoarse. Mandy, I hope you feel better soon too. And my toe seems to be doing fine thanks to some superduper American antibiotic ointment (Neosporin rocks, stock up when you see it and send it to all your overseas friends!!). You know, I'm actually not sure what the film is, but it's pretty obvious that it's going to be a period drama. Apparently they use that location quite a lot for things and there are going to be other film crews there all summer for various projects. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for it. I'd love it if the house were open to the public as I would love to see inside (one of my favourite things is touring around stately homes), but alas it's private property *sigh*. Whoa, Em, you have some fancy neighbours! Can you hear Phil Collins playing the drums when you're at work?? Hehe. And thanks for the compliments on the basket, I cannot like this basket any more than I do, it's lovely. It's so light to carry (aluminium frame) and it's really well-balanced when it's in your hand. It's by a german company called <a href="http://www.reisenthel.com/" rel="nofollow">Reisenthal</a>, but I'm sure they're available globally. PS Unfortunately the girls can't really stand up on their own. Their rather large heads kind of make their perfect little selves, errr, a bit top heavy and they topple and crash like a bunch of binge drinkers:oops: although I have heard that they *can* stand when they wear a certain type of boot - I can't remember which ones, but I think they're the other type of converse which are much smaller and more rigid. They do have little stands which they use sometimes, but this time I stuck knitting needles up their trousers and speared them into the grass. For some reason Eliza needed one up each leg (because she has more hair??) but the others got away with just the one. Gosh, knitting needles up legs, being speared into the grass, that makes me sound like a tremendously bad Blythe mother, but it did the trick ;) I’m actually feeling a bit better today thanks.

I think it's 'cause there's an "s" missing at the end of "wordpres" ... But I used the one in the sidebar and that works very well! :-) I was wondering - I see in some of the Blythe photies that they use little stands sometimes, but I can't see those in the fieldy outdoorsy pics. So, can they stand without any help? Um, Emilie’s link isn’t working properly … I think it’s ’cause there’s an “s” missing at the end of “wordpres” …

I too have been home with the icky crud for the last week. Not fun, but I'm slowly starting to feel better. Too bad Colin was nowhere to be found. At least the girls got to get out and enjoy some fresh air, hopefully Scarlett doesn't catch what you have :) Ugh, I feel for you. I too have been home with the icky crud for the last week.

Even though the elusive Mr Firth didn't come forth. Tut. BTW do you know what the film is they are shooting? I'm just thinking, "stately home" + "colin firth" = "a movie I'd like to see!" The girls look glorious, as usual, and I adore your basket! (I have a **thing** for baskets. R says I'm a basket case.) Hope the bug buzzes off really soon - that tied with a healed toe would improve life, yes? Oooh, what fun!! Even though the elusive Mr Firth didn’t come forth. Tut.
