I was first today! Ravenclaws will know to what I am referring! I am whooping and jigging so happily the boys think I've gone mad!

Saintly Man

Just a quick note today to celebrate the wonderful Mr. Wigworthy who made my Valentine's Day yesterday. A beautiful card (one of those that are more like a book that says lots of sweet things about how much he loves me, appreciates me, etc...) and a box of champagne truffles. I've only had one of the truffles (delicious!) so far -I'm limiting myself to one a day to avoid adding to my bulges!

Hogsmeade

Already Wednesday and I haven't told you yet about my visit to Hogsmeade at the weekend. I went to surprise my eldest little wizard who I knew would be there because Professor Wartbobble gave special permission for students to visit the village this weekend. Wasn't quite sure he would want to spend the whole day with me (I live in hope that one of these days he'll find himself wanting to spend more time with a very special - and lucky - young witch than with his family), so I planned lots of shopping into my day (Mr. Wigworthy is rather thankful that Hogsmeade visits are not too frequent!).
It was a very lovely day - bright sunshine bouncing off sparkly snow, and the atmosphere in the village was joyous to match it. I found Master Wigworthy in The Three Broomsticks enjoying some butterbeer with a few friends. They were all laughing about the Valentine's decorations at Madam Puddifoot's tea-room - though I did sense that one or two of them were nursing a little jealousy towards those friends who had girlfriends to take there. I popped in myself for a cuppa towards the end of the afternoon, and found it rather charming personally.
Mr. Wigworthy senior needn't have worried about my spending - I really was rather frugal. Just a few bits and pieces from Gladrags Wizardwear (my favourite shop - very elegant under-robes), and a new Pheasant-feather quill from Scrivenshafts (love the iridescent colours). Going to write a letter to Great Aunty Winnie with it now.

The sound of silence!

Would you believe that after all this time I still haven't heard anything from my 'spoiler' in the sock kit swap? (Sniffle!) Anyway - just in case they do love me and are keeping such a low profile for good reason (though I can't think of any) I've enchanted a wish list to appear underneath all the other things you can find at the side of my portal.

Despite silent partners I am making new friends and having lots of fun in the sock kit swap. I was especially honoured to be included in an invitation to drink tea and chat with the new headmistress at Hogwarts. While I loved Professor Dumbledore's eccentric ways, I must say it is very refreshing to have someone in charge at Hogwarts whom I can feel so comfortable with - a fellow witch who knits - what a delight.

I forgot to tell you all that after I left my little note under my pillow for a passing angel, I was most surprised, and overjoyed to discover that one has indeed left (in the potting shed!) just enough moultings to spin silver yarn for a certain young Slytherin!

Who Am I?

Apologies to those of you on Google Reader who have seen this 3 times! Blogger messed up and posted this to the main sock kit portal, and did that twice before I tried a little charm to get it here instead! Unfortunately Reader hasn't caught on that I've removed it from the sock kit portal.

Anyway - I am rather unsurprised by the result of this quiz, which I do think is quite a clever little piece of legilimency.
