the country estates

[kissa_bites]

I've left the fog-laden city and been escorted to the golden, rolling hills of the family manor to rest and recuperate from imbalanced humours, malaise and the odd dry tickle in my throat that is making me sound like Kathleen Turner.

I'll have to send a box home ahead of me as my belongings multiplied while my luggage didn't. I'll be home on Saturday to allow the house elves time for washing before I must return to the office.

Went again to see Snape, this time with dear Mum, who must learn to give control away and the delightful blonde child that I missed so very much while gallivanting about.Snape was, as always, delicious.

Tomorrow, the wonders of ancient Egypt.

Hmmm. I had the Kathleen Turner thing going too, particularly in the mornings. Both yesterday and today.

Also, it was really good to meet you in person!!!!!!!!!! You are absolutely darling, and I shall always think of you in your gorgeous Phoenix dress!

LOLOL that silly gown! I so very much enjoyed meeting you, too! You are such a delight and I was so happy to put face and name with a voice and smile. Thanks so much for being so welcoming!

It's the dreaded Post-Potter Plague!

I blame the HG/RW shippers.

Yet one more thing to lay at Ron's feet, stupid boy.

Ooh, you've got the post-Con crud, too? There was definitely something going around.

Thank you so much for all that you did to make the SS/HG reading a success! I had a great time, and I definitely appreciated the water.

And the Fawkes costume was a thing of beauty. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it!

Very glad to have met you! :-)

Thank you so much for your welcome! It was great meeting you. The Post-Potter Plague is dreadful. I still have it! Do you?

I'm so glad you enjoyed the reading. It was great helping to make that a success. Listening to you all was so much fun!

LOL, I've seen the Fawkes costume online already. I was amazed by the things people were wearing. There was so much time, energy and work put into the clothing. Everything was so beautiful! I was terrified the costume would be WAY over the top - and it fit right in! I can't wait to get going on clothing for next year!

i hope the scratchy throat is just an anomoly and leaves you alone very soon.

Thanks, kitty. Thus far, I'm still plaguey. I suppose everyone else is, too. Man, how long does this last?

Meeting you was such a delight. Thanks so much for your kind welcome!

From the pix I've seen, it looks as though you had a great time. :) I wish I could have gone and met ya. :)

[benevolntgoddes.livejournal.com]

I do hope you can come to the next one. It would have been great to meet you!

Thank you *again* for letting me crash the night of the ball. You were the best roommate evah, and I am only sorry we haven't met in person before.

And thank you also for making Narcissa's post divorce party very special. Because you just know that she would have handcuffs at it.

And that they would get used.

And that someone would get abused.

And that there would be pictures...

I'm so glad we could get to know each other better. The dish on who's what was so much fun. Thanks for cluing me in. You were a great roommate!

The handcuff use was very, very fun. I just wish I had brough more toys. Next time, I promise... erm, if Fiacha lets me *g*.
