Nathaniel is doing well at his new placement. I must remember to send that social worker a basket of fruit as a thank you. I'll have to look up her name. I'm dreadful with remembering anyone I don't see on a week to week basis. Perhaps that is because I do not seek out such friendships. The upkeep is sometimes far too much work.
I must remember to owl Snape. Perhaps I should do that now, as well as the basket, else I'll forget. I don't know where my brain wanders if I'm not specifically focusing on something. Hopefully it is warm wherever it travels. It's frightfully cold in this house. Even fleece and warming charms only stave off the chill for so long.
I had a contractor out to check the security of the steel downstairs. I may need someone to come out and reinforce structure. It has been years since I had anyone down there, however. I am unsure I'll find someone I trust. I've been loathe to invite someone into my home who is not a patient, but were I to get out, even with the Wolfsbane... the consequences are far too dire. My hermitism will just have to subside for a tiny length of time. Perhaps someone who can reverse engineer a ward for my purposes. I do not fear telling them the reasons for my needs, though I do fear that they may not react generously. The fear terror propaganda that woman has fed to the general public baffles me still to this day. How so much hate and loathing can be contained in such a petite pink package is a wonder.
