I like New Zealand.

Abercrombie's stag night is tomorrow. Brilliant.

Went to a nice wedding over New Year's. Hopefully everyone got home okay. Switch

Happy New Year.

24 December: Christmas Eve
25 December: Christmas Day
25.5 December: Eva's birthday
26 December: Boxing Day
31 December: Bracer and Imogene's Wedding
31 December: Ministry Ball
31.5 December: Toby's New Year's party

Yet again, Mary and I have any number of reasons not to attend the Ministry Ball.

I'm also sorry the Falcons lost to Tutshill. It's hard to write it, but it's true.

So I guess yesterday was someone's birthday. Ho hum.

Everything in our house sounds something like "Princess" this month. Leah's a princess, Diana's a princess, the dolls are all princesses, the book is a princess... Mary and I are raising a princess.

Monday was my birthday. Thanks to everyone who remembered. There wasn't much to it, it was a Monday, so Mary bought a cake and Leah covered her face in it. We took a few pictures.

The Puffskeins were here, and now they're gone. Poof. To Alaska. I think they have more sun in Alaska than we do right now, although eventually they're going to have less.

Go Falcons.

Leah loves her new red-haired friends, so "What will the baby eat?" must not be going too badly.

Watch out for the frostbite in Antarctica, Puffskeins.

Mairwen and Chris have been married for three days, and it'll be another ten years until they've been married for as long as they dated. It was a brill party, we all had a good time even if I didn't have a date.

Oh, and congratulations on number two, Victoria. I don't know if I mentioned that at the wedding.

Everyone seems to have made it out of Hogwarts in top shape. Congratulations on your exam results, students. I hope all of you are pleased with how you did.

We're glad to have Podmore back at the MLE. Best of luck to the future Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, I can promise you it will be an experience unlike any you have ever had before.
