Well, now that the voting is finally over, I look forward to seeing how the implementation of the Scottish Office will be done. Having followed Muggle politics and the creation of the Scottish Parliament, it certainly wasn't without its pitfalls - but the intelligent thing to do would be to learn from those mistakes. Or where it is possible to, at any rate. And with the Minister's recent speech... well, I'm certainly taking an interest in the selection process.

On a much less serious note - it's good to be back in the air and preparing for the second half of the season. The charity match was a good laugh. And the Catapults-Arrows match certainly made for interesting listening from a Chaser point of view.

Who: Pride Players & Staff
What: A meeting
When: Saturday mid-morning
Where: Pride offices
Warnings: IC/OOC | probably medium for potential swearing

Cav sent notices to all of the Pride players and staff that they should report to the Pride offices on Saturday at 10:30 in the morning for a brief team meeting before the season and practices start up again. Once everyone's assembled, he says he'll keep this as brief as possible and then launches into a short speech that explains the following things:
1. Coach MacFusty has aggravated an old Quidditch injury and is taking a short leave of absence to get it taken care of. While she's gone, both Lorna as the captain and Alasdair as a vice-captain will be leading practices. Cav will be attending each one as well in case anything's needed.

2. Luag MacFusty has chosen to also take a leave of absence for the rest of the season from his beater position due to some family matters and Cav is currently working out logistics regarding that open position.

3. A reminder that players and staff should not be discussing staffing changes, leaves of absences, player changes, etc. with the press and to point any press in the direction of Gwen as needed. He also asks that if anyone is approached by the press to please notify Gwen that it happened.

4. Finally, he reminds everyone that his office door is always open in the event that any player or staffmember have a concern regarding anything, from team relationships, personal training and growth, etc.

He will end by turning it over to any other admin (Owen, Gwen, Graham) who wishes to speak and also to ask if anyone has any questions.

Seems like I didn't get the short straw - only one night in St Mungo's to check the potions were taking effect, and a week of restricted activity.

It feels really damned good to be getting back to normal, because I was definitely not made for a lazy life.

Well, last bloc of the series done, so it was great to end up with our Chaser team on real form. Fortunately we're not doing Christmas at ours - still too new and chaotic, really - so a family Christmas back on Skye will be great. Pretty relaxed and with time to recharge before the next bloc begins and the chaos starts over.

That said, an actually Scottish Hogmanay for once will be anything but quiet if our lot have anything to do with it.

Jason
Listened to your game on the wireless, mate. Sounds like your lot don't believe in winding down before a break, hmm?

And certain things are making progress. Yours truly is off to buy an engagement ring next week and Merlin's bollocks, I do not feel like enough of an adult to make a decision by myself. Thank everything that Ada didn't catch me checking her jewellery box yesterday and I could blame things being moved by the cats.
