Since I'm not the photographer in the family, I'm rarely seen with a camera. In fact given who I work for, I find most cameras completely obtrusive.

That having been said I think I'm a fairly brilliant photographer for getting this picture last night, while Shan and I were out for dinner.

Awesome, right?

My to-do list has gotten to be the length of my arm. I kid you not. I measured. Because I'm uncharacteristically procrastinating.

And to think I used to wonder how it was I was good dealing with Merton-

I know it might seem like it took a while, but I'm completely over the horrible, traumatic event of my summer. So I'm done burying myself in my work. At least anymore than I normally do.

Congratulations England. It was a good game.

Now I'm going to go be a broody mess and spend the next few days in the bottle, possibly crying and ranting in Gaelic. Approach at your own risk.

I can throw down with dragons, and people are smaller. Remember this.

So over the last twenty-four hours I've used all my stock of migraine potions. I wonder why on earth that would happen?

Shannon, want to go with me to Diagon Alley sometime in the next couple of days?

Why on earth did I get approximately eight bags of Weird Sister mail at my flat today? I was practically bombarded with owls.

Please tell me that dumb as rocks assistant who sorts through mail at the label didn't up and quit. DID ONE OF YOU SHAG HER?

I'm not opening all this. Who knows what's in there? Elderly women half naked. Dead birds. (The restraining order is still valid on that crazy maniac, right?) I say each one of you gets a bag.

I need a vacation.

This is a bad prank, more bags. The only thing worse than weirdie mail is Celestina Warbeck's. I DON"T EVEN WORK FOR HER. WHY AM I GETTING IT?

I'm about to say a statement that sounds like something my bosses might say but is 110% truthful. I am fine. I had to order a new journal, because mine was eaten by a dragon over hols.

Herbridean Blacks will bloody well eat anything.

I'm sorry, since it seemed like a crap time to be quieter than usual.

Anything I bloody say right now seems like not enough.

I swear you lot are getting off on all the heart attacks you're causing by just popping up in random places on these journals.

I have found a useful purpose for these, since I can now boss you around without seeing you.

Herman I've picked up a gift for your parents' anniversary next week. I'll bring it by tomorrow. Myron, your sister's birthday is in two days. Figured I would remind you again.

You all have a photo shoot tomorrow. Ten AM. Please, do not be hungover, and please be on time, but if I have to come get you please don't be naked in your flat. Later there's a charity auction for developing a children's library in Hogsmeade. You all said you'd sign something to put on sale. It was a while back so I don't expect you to remember.

You have a light day.

Now I'm going to sleep. Please do not owl if Merton someone gets their head stuck in a vase.
