week 51: two

marie: her baby etiquette was gentle as a deer, and she is one of the smartest 2 year olds i know of. you should view this photo large, you can see both naomi's niece and my son have a case of the grumpies.

naomi: these two are destined to be together in the future. my neice and marie's son.

next week's theme is roids, chosen by naomi.

week 50: white

naomi: since i met marie, i think of her every time i see spring blossoms.

see her choice for next week? 'two'? that could most definitely be the two of us since in a sudden change of events, this time next week, we'll be on the same continent, in the same state, in the same city.

marie: billowy lace makes a beautiful subject. i'm sure if our trees were already flowering, my choice would have been identical to naomi's. twins for life.

next week is two, chosen by marie.

week 49: rainbow

naomi: that's the london eye, they lit it up like a rainbow on friday but i don't know why.

marie: i'm addicted to painting/repainting the walls. some might call it indecisiveness.

next weeks theme is white, by naomi.

week 48: plans

naomi: i long for there, she longs for here.

marie: she longs for here, i long for there.

next week is rainbow, chosen by marie.

week 46: eyes

naomi: aw. how can i compete with that beautiful boy? yesterday was the first sunny day in what seemed like 10 years so i really did spend a long time with my eyes closed, just basking in it (with the cat).

marie:  what can i say, except those wide eyes are my life.

next weeks theme is memories, set by marie.

week 43:delicate

naomi: we're back! did you miss us?
it's been snowing intermittently here, there's not much that's more delicate than a snowflake.

marie: My delicate tendrils of neglect might just make it.

next week to be chosen by naomi.

week 42: film

Marie: This is a snapshot from the French film Tell No One. I saw it when it was playing at The Oriental last year.  The opening scene has stuck with me over the last year, I think because it features Otis Redding's "For Your Precious Love", which I love.  They also used my favorite favorite of them all, Jeff Buckley (Lilac Wine), though the scene in which he croons is, quite fittingly, melancholy and bittersweet.

Naomi: I went to the premiere of Harry Brown last week, that's Michael Caine and the cast giving a little speech before it began. It's pretty violent and the seats in the Leicester Square Odeon are leopard print.

The tlp is going to be taking a well deserved break while Marie brings another person into the world. Once he's arrived we'll get back into the swing of things, see you in a few weeks!
love,
Marie and Naomi.
