The Golden Neep IC

I had hoped to avoid such incidents as the one I found myself in this evening by owning a house rather than renting a flat. It seems as if my neighborss' ground floor bathroom flooded, which shares a wall with my front room. Normally this is not an issue until I began to have a flood of my own.. Thankfully I was able to rescue any papers before they were ruined, but all in all not how I would have preferred to spend my Sunday evening.

Who caught that front page on the Prophet the other day? Anyone cleverer than me can explain what all that's supposed to be about? I can't imagine the team owners are just now having an attack of conscience over what the Ministry did back then, so it must be politics in one direction or another, but search me if I can understand how.

For what it's worth, I reckon it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to take that season off the books. You all deserve better, but from what I heard about it, at least the back half of that season never should've been played in the first place.

Seems too soon to flip the calendar page forward, but good things are ahead in October. I read it in my tea leaves this morning, and I got an A in Divinations, so you can trust me on that.

Speaking of good things, oi, Lennox Campbell! Great rollickin to-do at yours for the big birthday coming up, yeah?

[WARDED TO MONTROSE minus COACH, MANAGEMENT & PR STAFF*]

So I think some of you know I moved here all the way from France to join my partner so we didn't have to do the whole long distance relationship. What I haven't exactly mentioned is who he is. It's not that I wanted to purposefully keep it a secret it's just that we both like our privacy is all. Coach, management, PR... they've all been told, so they already know who he is. Otherwise that was just going to be a storm waiting to happen

You're probably thinking 'what's all the fussing around for?'. Well, that might have just a bit to do with the fact that my partner happens to be one of Portree's new Chasers, specifically Alasdair Buchanan. So that's... that. It'll be okay. won't think the worst will happen

[WARDED TO GREGOR]

[A list of contact details for Quiberon's Seeker, Keeper, and one of their Chasers; and also for Ada's father]

Sorry it took a while for me to get back to you but I was waiting to hear back from all of them before I gave you anything. The rest of Quiberon were a bit wary even after I explained to them what you were after but I hope that this will do for what you're wanting.

[WARDED TO ALASDAIR]

So I finally did it.

Also how is it already October? And did you want to do anything special for your birthday - which is not so far away now, I might add.

*[ooc: apologies for any confusion, the ward is meant to only exclude MG, Shona and PR since they were already aware after Ada had a meeting for them. it was my bad for not really knowing how to word the ward.]

[David & Alec]

I can't believe that you-know-what Skeeter scooped me on the BIL motion. Where does she hear these things?

Did Dad talk to either one of you about it? You know he had to know. I'm carefully not warding him because I'm pretty brassed and I don't want to say anything either of us will regret later.

So if you want to get your side of the big story out in the Prophet, I'm available for an interview or a statement.

Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world tho would it.
