After a great deal of sleep, I find myself at a loss as to what to do next. I think that Professor Trelawney must certainly have included me in her vision of those who performed well on their NEWTs ( Read more... )

I can vouch for the comforting properties of Hannah's biscuits, as well as for the soporific effect of a cup of Hannah's tea. Beyond collecting a load of alarm clocks I am seeking recommendations for a wristwatch that can be set to chime every few minutes--loud enough to wake the wearer--and that will work within the confines of our orange-red ( Read more... )
