My bid was accepted on the house, and I've accepted an offer on my flat.
Looks like I will be signing the final documents on May 10th.
[Greg]
We should celebrate tonight.

I am once again proud of the Bats and their victory this weekend. Good show, indeed!
[Hexed to Friends]
I've found a lovely four bedroom seaside cottage I have an appointment to look at this afternoon. I also had someone make an offer on my flat that I can't very well pass up. Looks like a few weeks living with my parents if it all doesn't go to plan.

This whole arranged marriage business only reminds me of how little regard some people have for witches. The whole idea behind arranged marriages seems to be that some wizards think women do not have the ability to make good decisions for themselves and their futures. Witches are not property that their father can give away to the highest bidder!
Witches have proven to be the driving force behind our country. Look how many of them are in positions of prestige and power in our Ministry! Look how many of them are accomplished artists, businesswomen, and quidditch stars while at the same time also handling the pressure that is given to us to be girlfriends, wives, mothers, and do to it while looking great and wearing heels!
Arranged marriages should be outlawed, because they are not the face we want to show the world. In order to Britain to thrive, we must be a forward moving society.

I completed the paperwork today, and my flat in London is on the market. If anyone is looking for a place, it's two bedrooms with en suite baths, plus a half off the sitting room. Eat in kitchen and walking distance to the Ministry of Magic. It's a fair market price, as well.
Now, it's time to crack down and find a proper adult house to live in. I am looking for property with water views, at least three bedrooms and extensive grounds. I hope my estate agent is up to the task.

Can anyone recommend a good estate agent? After five years of living in London, I find myself longing for a house, a garden and something a bit more secluded and quiet.

I am pleased to announce that there will be a Wizengamot and Department of Magical Law Enforcement joint St Patrick's Day luncheon. As chairperson of the committee, I hope everyone is prepared for some delicious treats and interoffice merriment.
[Warded Private]
I have to admit, I've never been so confused. Where is Daphne when I need her?
Also, the idea of having to mingle with the DMLE folks and be social is giving me hives.

I am actually looking forward to this gala this weekend. No matter what comes, I have a feeling it will be entirely too amusing.

Today was an intriguing day.
[Malcolm]
I feel like your gift was quite a riddle.

I did something remarkable today.
I took off early and got a mani-pedi. This might be the first day I've taken off early since Magical Maintenance accidentally unleashed a tornado in the Wizengamot. I am thinking I should make this a standing appointment. It's certainly good to do things for me. After all, I'd hate to think someone was staring at my ragged cuticles instead of listening to my closing arguments.

The explosion of pink in the office today was nauseating. I really don't think why people think their animated cupid figurines and bouquets of incredibly fragrant ever bloom flowers are appropriate for the prosecutor's office. We deal with very serious issues, and some people have allergies to kitsch. How can anyone seriously expect us to do our jobs when the entire floor is a bad mishmash for Celistina Warbeck already?
And I still have almost a week of this to go.
I suppose far too many people are sheep who buy into the corporate glut of the holiday, which is solely pushed by florists and jewelry stores.

It would be my luck that the apothecary would be out of Headache-B-Gone today. Hopefully a glass of wine will do the trick.
I wrapped up closing arguments on the Burlington case, and if I never see another stack of parchment on illegally smuggled flying carpets it will be too soon. Though, I can see why people might want one. It's certainly safer traveling with a child on one, though they significantly increase chances of muggle exposure. Maybe, one day someone will invent self camouflaging magic carpets.

I do believe it's a miracle. I've left work tonight before nine. Since it seems like half the office is out having babies, I've been up to my neck in cases. We begin two trials next week. Thankfully one is only expected to last Monday, since we assume the defense will not be idiots and plead anything but guilty.
I think I need a good massage and facial. Daph? Are you up for a spa trip tomorrow?

I can't believe I am getting married tomorrow.

There is snow and ice everywhere!
My wedding is in less than a month, and how am I supposed to have an outdoor wedding in SNOW?

The flowers are beautiful! Thank you so much.
How are you? We really should get together soon.

The one thing I really miss about Paris is having a chance to do more than just paint. I wish there was somewhere I could do pottery. I was so good at it. I had some rather gorgeous pieces on exhibit at school. I find it odd we have a water park, but no art gallery. Isn't art what separates us from the savages?
Also, does anyone have any advice for expanding living space? I really will need more room soon.
