Congratulations to my favorite newlyweds! The ceremony was beautiful, and the reception afterwards was all that one can hope for! My feet are killing me, but I expect that's a sign of a day well spent. [Private to Alex] So, before Brandon says anything to you and embellishes it, as he's threatening to do, I thought I ought to tell you. You looked very dashing. And yes, I was staring at you more than I ought to have been, considering I came with a date. Shame on me? [/Alex] |

Can anyone recommend some good music to me? Wizard, Muggle...hell, Mermish, I don't care. It's seemed awfully quiet around here lately and I've gone through my collection so many times. I just need something new, and it so often happens I find something wonderful at the recommendation of someone else. For the record, I have an aversion to bagpipes. |

[Private, friends/family can read] Yes, the world has gone to shite, we know. Yes, this was a really huge cock-up on part of the Ministry and the DMLE. They're clearly not focusing on the right things - or rather, they've got a bit too much of a slant toward these BOMB people and ought to be putting equal efforts into finally extinguishing the Death Eater threat. Both sides are clearly mad, and very dangerous. What happened to that poor couple the other week was horrendous, and then to have the bastard who did it escape. It's almost too much to believe. But...they tried. Things like this don't happen all the time, and they shouldn't happen at all, but they do, sometimes, and this was one of those times. Now, I have no part in what goes on with officials and who makes the decisions, but I keep up with the news and it's fairly clear where the bias lies. They're supposed to be standing for what is right, as cliched as that sounds, and seeking to bring anyone commiting crimes, for any reason, to justice. I want to support the Ministry's actions. I do. And I just hope that there's something I'm missing here. And it's put me in a rotten mood, now, which I hate. [/Private] ( Audrey & Ichabod ) ( Alex )

(written around 10 PM Friday) I may be the only person in recent history to write the following on these journals: I am most definitely not getting engaged or married in the near future. That's that, then. Every end's a beginning. Or something. ( Private ) ( Private to Alex ) |

Samir is visiting for the week! It was a complete surprise (well, sort of, he gave me about four hours' notice, if that counts). He said in my last few letters I'd been sounding bored and restless, and of course we've both been feeling the strain of not actually seeing one another, so he took the week off. Of course if I'd known I'd have seen about doing the same, but the bank hours aren't so bad and we have the whole week anyway. He seems really excited to be here - he hasn't been in England in a few years, and it was mostly on business then, so he says he expects me to give him the full tourist experience. This is brilliant! Definitely makes Monday more bearable. [Private] I'm really, really surprised, actually. Like...that he's here. I don't think either of us expected this to last much longer after I came back here, and I certainly didn't think he'd follow for a visit. It's nice, of course, and I'm thrilled. And I guess it's been about a year since we started seeing each other so it makes sense, but it makes it seem so serious all of a sudden. I don't know why I'm trying to make this seem like something weird - this week is going to be fantastic with him around. |

I am having the worst craving ever for lamb. Preferably flavored with lemon, and perhaps a blackberry tart to follow. I suppose this warrants a trip to the market, but right now I'm watching Zacharias so there's really no hope for that until later. Last time I tried to bring him he started fussing and while there are certainly worse things, I ended up forgetting some very important items. I'll save any babies-at-the-market scenarios for when I have my own and have no choice. If that ever happens, which I would rather it didn't. The desk work at Gringott's has been relaxing for a bit, but I have to admit I'm getting bored with it. I promised myself I'd stay local for at least half a year this time. Five months to go. |

On the bright side, unpacking's done. My flat looks almost lived in, if you can imagine something looking lived in after only a few weeks. And I got a letter from Samir today, which was a nice surprise. Though it's also reminding me of how hard this long distance thing is going to be, if after barely a month letters seem inadequate [Private] Two funerals in a month is far too much. One funeral ought to be far too much. The former Minister's death made me sad, but I feel so...revolted over what happened to Bran's family, and it really only hit me Wednesday at the beginning of the service. They were good people, how could someone do this to them? I hate not being able to do anything except "be there" for someone at a time like this. It feels like so little, and pointless. Gestures are appreciated, I'm sure, but in the end, what are they actually going to solve? I picked a devil of a time to come back home, I'll say that. [/Private] [Brandon] The service was lovely. How are you? [/Brandon] |

Why do I always, always manage to forget that moving in is possibly one of the most annoying things in the world? It's been two weeks since I got back to England and there's still things I'm trying to find a spot for. Normally I wouldn't see much point in getting too worried over what goes where, short of the bed being made, but I know I'll be sticking around for a while this time so everything needs to look nice. I should buy some flowers. People like flowers. This is what I get for thinking it a good idea to buy up a new flat. What was wrong with the old one? Right, so maybe it was a bit small, but it's not like I need a lot of space. This one's much nicer, though. Maybe I should get an animal to take up some of the extra room. Got to babysit little Zach today. He's completely precious. Aud was around but she's been trying to get some writing done again before she starts up full time next month, so I took up the slack. I have this feeling he's going to be one of those ones that ends up in all the wrong places once he's walking. Have I met my match? Anyway. Funeral tomorrow. I think I'll go out to lunch after. |

I hope that the psychopaths who've been running around under the supposition that they're doing some kind of greater good are quite satisfied. Actually, I'm sure they are just that, which is a little disgusting to me. That aside, I plan to attend the services this Thursday. Bagnold was hardly perfect as Minister but she didn't deserve this. My condolences to her family and friends. Anyone want to go with me? |
