This weekend is my first full weekend off in three months. It will be the last until the end of the year.

It's not the end of the summer just yet, but it's surely round the corner. So let's have a party. Afternoon picnic and cookout (what do Americans call it? barb-e-q?) this Saturday, our house, Godric's Hollow, noon until whenever.

Bring a significant other, bring a mate, bring a dog, bring a cake, bring yourself. Just let me know who's coming so I can adjust the wards properly and everything.

Probably should have talked to you first but you don't mind, yeah?

I was reading Quidditch Through the Ages again today and I know I've read this sentence hundreds of times over the years but it didn't strike me as odd until today. The line is "In 1620, Quintius Umfraville wrote a book called The Noble Sport of Warlocks which included a diagram of the seventeenth century pitch."

I wonder what old Quintius would think of me and my fellow teammates.

I just had what I thought was going to be a planning meeting about my next work trip and instead turned out to be some sort of intervention.

Well then.

Not quite the Tuesday that I had in mind when I woke up this morning.

So I'm curious ... what are our thoughts on each of the Houses? Purely from a Ravenclaw standpoint, I don't give a shit what house you were in, and the only time I did in school was when it came to Quidditch and House points.

Can't say that I think our parents are completely round the bend with their prejudices - and it seems a fair few do have prejudices, on both sides - because they had cause thirty years ago. Do we think there's still those same feelings? I didn't see it, but maybe others have different opinions.

I'd love to hear them.

Looks like Vasuman is really growing up before our eyes.

( Cut, not filtered )

He's hunting on his own already, though he's still not big enough to be able to hold his own with the other dragons. He took a nice chunk out of my hand today, but it was all in love so it's no big deal.

Hey sis, I have a question for you. Say that I'm seeing a very nice lady, and she's perfect and gorgeous. What do I get her for a monthish anniversary gift? Or is that weird?

As Angelina said, this week is certainly full of celebrations and happy events. I had hoped to do this in person, but it wouldn't be fair to interrupt the happy couple on their first few days together. More to the point:


Welcome to the family, Ted!

We're really happy to have you.


Happy Birthday to Ginny as well. I hope the card and gift arrived, but our owl's been a little ill lately and I'm a bit worried actually.

Oh yes, and I can't seem to get the filter to work to my children, but Grandmère and Grandpère will be here on Wednesday and will be staying until next Saturday, please make some time to visit.

I've taken a couple hundred galleons out of the vault for V and Ted as we discussed, though I haven't told them yet. I'm hoping to arrange for a dinner with them and the rest of our children in the next week or so and we can give it to them at that time. Anyway, do you think we can cancel the dinner with our friends on Sunday? I just want to stay in.

Love you
