Today I went to visit my mother. Well, today I went to visit my mother's swimming pool and ended up having a conversation with her as well. She's gotten blonder. And she's bought a new car. A convertible

I think your mother is beginning to absolutely lose it. Completely.

And she's just setting you up. Next time you see her, she'll be back to Evil. Mark my words.

[jmff]

What on Earth would she be setting me up for?

You know, I wouldn't mind visiting her if I got a car every time I came up here. And if she's going to be this nice then I won't have to buy a new house with a pool.

Although I do feel a bit strange wandering around naked here.

I don't know. Some horrid let down, at best, probably. At worst...who knows.

Not that you're letting that stop you, of course.

I don't think that's really Mother's style. Too devious. She's more into blatant dislike and the occasional backhanded compliment.

Also newer car. And pool. And she wants to go shopping on Monday.

I don't like wearing clothes when it's hot.

You can be naked around me whenever you like. After all, quite a few wizards believe I'm about as socially acceptable as leprosy, so where's the harm?

I wonder if I can persuade Ron that a pool is a necessity. Cooling charms and lots of plants don't really compare to a nice swim in this heat.

Is your lesser half still working late? You could always pop up here for a bit of wine and a swim. We can be mudbloods united in the cause for nudity, or partial nudity in your case. I'll have to ask you to wear something over the southerly bits, I'm still not completely sure they don't bite.

Pools can also be heated for wintertime swimming as well. They're multipurpose!

I just wish I had the space to put one in. Padma said no though. Where would you put yours?

[orestes_bride]

I don't have a lesser half, you cheeky thing. Ron is still at work though, looking for a last-minute breakthrough before he has to sign off on the Baddock case for good. I'll be very glad when he's back to normal hours.

And I don't really like to go naked myself in public, so no worries there. I've got a nice bikini though, so give it another hour and if Ron still isn't back I'll accept your gracious invitation.

We're house hunting, actually. Ron wants a lot of land so there'll be plenty of space for a pool.

[jmff]

I hope Ron's still tied up with the Baddock case because I'm very much looking forward to seeing your breasts.

A lesser man would have crossed that last bit out and just written you, but I like to think I'm better than that.

You're right, I remember reading that last night. I've been half-heartedly looking for a house myself, but Terry refuses to leave London so it's all moot really. But I suppose it's fun to look anyway.
