Order Only: Moony and Bea

alt_siriusWe spent a quiet day today and put together a picnic tea party in the sitting room, with Moony ensconced on the sofa and Bea happily climbing all over him to celebrate that she's 18 months old now (and that in itself is somewhat unbelievable!). But taking a lazy day like this seems to lead to thinking about all the balls we currently have in the air.
Kingsley, don't take our silence here as disapproval of the decision to call an end to the Players. Today aside, it's usually fairly busy round here. But your choice is a brave thing in its way and as Frank says, it's not the end, just a new chapter.
Arthur: Well done, mate, on Terry's file. It's good to know it can be done, particularly if we work with Beth on more smuggling of people as well as goods.
Bill, happy birthday! Believe it or not it does get more fun as you go along (I never thought it would do, either).
Molly, any luck with Mrs Perks? It's only three weeks now until the solstice so if we're going to get her a place on the boat we need to get moving.
Minerva: The Book? How many do we have adding up?
Alice, I've been thinking about the list of topics you mentioned from the meeting at Moddey when our people came back from Ireland. And we've been chatting about them, off and on, but with no firm conclusions. I do think that our success has to lie on these multiple trajectories, even if it keeps us all fragmented. We have to be able to keep moving forward on a number of fronts, and not put all our ashwinder eggs in one fire - in case something goes wrong, like in Ireland.
Still thinking about what that means.

I'm not likely to trip and fall into a relationship with someone who wouldn't understand anytime soon, especially since anybody who wouldn't understand me wanting to help out a friend is someone I probably wouldn't be interested in in the first place! So, you know. Take your time. Won't be offended if you say 'not interested', either, or just never bring it up again.
Anywiz.
Things have calmed down a bit by now -- most of the breeds that hibernate are starting to settle in, so it's a little less hectic. (Or will be once the solstice passes and whatever they're doing to the dragons for the wards eases off and the poor darlings can calm down again.) I actually like the winter months here. We're all on top of each other, in barracks or in the Hall, and it does get a bit claustrophobic from time to time, but there's always "I have to go fly out to the caves and check the eggs haven't got too cold" as an excuse, and everybody knows that means "if I don't get out of here in the next five minutes, somebody's going to get transfigured into a carrot and dropped in the soup".
But everybody pulls out their crafts and their musical instruments -- and I did ask Greg to teach me his woodcarving charms this winter after all! -- and we have a pretty good time of it. And winter does usually mean we can have more time off and away, so I should be able to help out the Order more until spring -- although I've had to promise a bunch of favours to people to get three days free over Christmas.
Hope I'll get to see you and Miss Bea over the hols.
