Finnigan's RPG

[Sent via Post Office owl around 11am]

Dear Adrian,

I'm writing to you with an unusual request today, in fact it's more like asking for a favour. I need some potions ingredients for my new project which can only be gathered from forests and heavily wooded areas, which I am unable to go to without being triggered. I was wondering if I could pay you to gather these items for me?

Usually I ask a particular assistant at the supply shop, but unfortunately he is currently on an extended holiday-cum-research trip, and my mentor, who I would otherwise ask is away on a painting trip all week and I'd like to start sooner rather than later. Unfortunately her current apprentice has not yet been trained in gathering these particular ingredients and and I really don't want to ask my ex or the prat that doesn't like me this is outside the area of expertise of the other two artists.

As I said I'm happy to pay you for your time and expertise. Some of the items are readily available to buy, but I prefer to have them as fresh as possible, particularly given the scale of the project I'm undertaking I'd like the best ingredients available. Some of the ingredients would be slightly unusual requests which are, as far as I'm aware, particular to the way in which artists use them. For example I know one plant which has use only for its flowers and fresh stems in regular potion making requires the extremely woody roots for my purposes.

If you are able to help me please let me know as soon as possible and I will provide you with a list of ingredients and specific instructions about collection where there are any.

Yours sincerely,

Dean Thomas.

So, Gofraidh Damhán is out for the remainder of the season. He's well on the way to recovery and uncertain if he'll remain with the Kestrels anyway; contract renewal is coming up.

Riordan Fionola has taken his place as primary Seeker for the next undetermined amount of time.

This being said, there was a need for a reserve Seeker. Was.

I'm back with the Kestrels.

Warded to self

How are we still only middle of the pack? Fucking hell we're better than this. All this hard work, the summer of planning, it isn't paying off. What is going wrong? We need to work harder, or at the very least I need to stop slacking and go to other games to observe our opponents and their new plays. I won't settle for this mediocre performance.

Another win for Puddlemere and a huge congrats to all players and teams. Also, massive congrats to Aidan for new position in Kenmare; can't wait to play against you!

Otherwise life is the same, but the introduction of kittens into my life has definitely made things a tad, erm, interesting. How can something so small have so much energy? They're little furry bludger-snitches rolled into a tiny purring, mewling ball. They're cute, though.

This week I'm starting a sandwich of the week at Crumbs. Limited edition sandwiches (or similar) that might make it onto the main menu if they turn out to be popular.

This week (available until Saturday): tomato and basil chicken with homemade mayonnaise.

Who: Ginny (with cameos by Jane & Romilda), Charlie if he likes.
What: Ginny stops into Charlie's flat.
Where: Charlie & Romilda's flat.
When: Tuesday afternoon, Sept 22, 2005.
Rating: SFW, potential angst.
