the moulded polystyrene marlin is hilarious.

Dear Rita, I hope you are well, you may remember me as cathy wilson of old Telegraph magazine days and pre my married name. I felt inspired to write as I have been reading your blog pretty regularly for about a year and want to say how great it is. I absolutely love it. And I loved your blog on Ginny and the glorious eye she has on the world. In fact I downloaded her photograph of a man walking down the street with pink balloons and sent it to several friends as it was gorgeous. It, and her blog, made my day better and all that furore over the hairdressers and so on was quite obviously not your intention. Good for you with this blog. Cathy X

X21 is one of my favorite resources in San Francisco. I once found a slightly damaged Regency dining set for some ridiculously low price and just rehabed it. They do have the most bizarre collection but gems abound.

Cathy, it was lovely to see you last night, i don't know how i missed this comment as i read them all avidly! It was also reassuring to hear that you enjoyed Ginny's blog. please keep commenting. xx rita
