Parvati, I'm sorry I didn't see your post in time. I was tied up in training work all afternoon and evening. Are you all right? You and Dev should come round for dinner sometime soon.

I do enjoy spending time with my parents, but sometimes they can be about as subtle as an anvil. I'd barely got in and given Mum and Grandma their gifts when they started chatting about Mrs So-an-So's son and Mr Such-and-such's nephew.

I'm exhausted. We've been revising the training programme for curse-breakers since the new intake will be this July - which isn't far away!
