All better now

All on tenterhooks in our house as we eagerly await our phone call from Nicole Kidman telling us where we will be going to attend her top secret wedding on Sunday. Hoping she will be asking Scarlett to be a flowergirl. Have an outfit picked out for her just in case. Luckily our young Miss is quite recovered from her recent illness, despite the croup turning into a throat infection requiring Anti-biotics. Rob took her to the Botanic Gardens for a bracing walk to clear away the cobwebs. As usual she was the subject of much attention from Japanese visitors who find her absolutely fascinating. That peroxide and those hair extensions have really paid off. She must be in hundreds of photo albums across Japan. "oh yes this was a blonde girl we saw in Sydney. That building in the background? Oh, it's the opera house or something, but look at how blonde and curly her hair is." We also managed another zoo outing. Scarlett's favourite bit is the ride in the gondola. Back home, she kicked back with some Nancy Sinatra and Mummy's new boots. 'Larti wearing the Mummy boots.' Finally a lovely shot from Rob taken at 6am on his cycle into work. Overnight Sydney has gone bonkers as the Socceroos made it through to the next round in the World Cup. This is the furthest they have ever got in the tournament before. Will be too much to bear if they get further than England however, in which case we will have to leave the country. I hear Togo's lovely.
