big huge random Monday

Here we go:

Our weekend dinner guests are shopping for a new boat. We very much enjoyed our time on their previous boat and look forward to evening sailing with them in the future. And we think they should get this one.

I don't know. These? I need a pair of platforms for the fall/winter.

While most of the accessories are of ridiculous scale, this sofa is delicious. K mused that Resto seems to only have three fabrics just now: cashmere, linen and leather. What's wrong with that, say I?

Middle and I had a rollicking good time watching this, he in his bed, me in mine, commenting on IM for the last action-packed hour. I'd heartily reccomend it.

Take note. I'd like a pair of these. (Her blog is lovely too.)

We love wooden clothes pins.

I know this may sound silly but, it's almost time for oatmeal for breakfast. Oatmeal with Golden Syrup.

I am working to convince K that he can make us something like this.

Invictus the poem. Invictus the film!

I think dressing as Margot Tenenbaum for Halloween is a brilliant idea. I'm not the first person to think of this.

This wonderfully random piece of trivia from The Royal Tenenbaums from IMDB: The original hawk used to play Mordecai was kidnapped during shooting and held for ransom - production could not wait for him to be returned which is the reason that the bird that appears later in the movie has "more white feathers" - it's a different bird.


Today, my friends, is my dear K's birthday. And I love him one million.
