Sorry we scared everybody this week. Abercrombie and I wanted to get everything sorted so he could get back to England as soon as possible for the wedding. He went to the wedding and I heard that was a riot. I was with him while he was on that potion, it'll do something else to you. That must be a rush.

But, right, sorry we scared everybody.

He went to the Healer yesterday and he'll be staying away from Curses for three weeks. He can work as soon as he can walk around, but he'll be tired so we'll be at the bank for awhile. We made good money this time around, although we owe Perkins and Murray some for finishing the job for us.

Then we owe the goblins at Gringotts, obviously.

The Falcons ended their season with some a win and an almost-win against Puddlemere. They'll be back next season, better than ever. Will they all be back? I don't know. Every season people ask if Peasegood'll be back, but he always is. That's got to end sometime, but you won't hear me saying his time is up. He had a brilliant match against the Magpies.

It's good to be home with Leah.

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.
