Oh dear. It seems I'm addicted to this Solitaire Comeputer thingy. Four days straight, and not once have I beaten the little bugger. It would probably help if I knew the rules, but Muggles make things awfully difficult on themselves, don't they? It's not at all like Exploding Snap, but I needed something to do while waiting for the cat to come out of the toilet.
Oh. And speaking of which! I just want to point out that, yet again, Hogwarts has traumatised my cat. My little Whiskers has only just recovered from 10 months of tail pulling at the hands of hard-hearted non-Hufflepuff sorts, but do you know what he's doing right now? He's hiding behind the toilet sphinx in the downstairs loo, and has been ever since that cat-parchment arrived, claws making dents in the tiles, only sneaking out to eat. He thinks he's next in line for skinning and ink, the poor boo! All of which is understandable - what would you do if you came down to breakfast one morning to find the skin of an Englishman lying between the teapot and the marmalade? It's cruelty to felines! Besides, I think I should've gotten giraffe-parchment or something instead, because I'm just so much looking forward to lugging half a dead cat around Diagon Alley next month.
Anyway, getting to the point, I hope everyone's having a lovely summer so far!
