I think it will be Voldemort; but that could be too obvious a choice, don’t you think? I think all this hoo-ha about it being Harry is just to put us readers off the scent. What do you think? Leave your opinion in the comments
Update: You know the annoying person in every class? The person who has to pipe up with such starters as, “In my experience….” or “This is what I do…”. The kind who clunks you over the head with enthusiasm, yes, but also with a kind of unnerving zap that you just want them to shut…
This past weekend we put our electric blanket on our bed. I should state for the record that, honestly, we really don’t need it. We don’t. We’ve done quite well these past few years without it. This year is different. We have decided we MUST have total comfort 100% of the time we are in…
Wild weather in Victoria, eh? We’re not flooding* but the rain has been wonderful. What I liked especially was this low pressure system came in from the east. The east! Unheard of! I keep looking up in the sky, waiting for Mary Poppins. The kids, bugger it, are sick. How can I tell apart from…

Recently I discovered my sister is contemplating a move down here; a possibility which caused this outburst from my father: “What? You’re going to become a Mexican too?” (‘Mexican’ = living south of…
Keira is playing with a new bottle of Nurofen I bought that morning for Riley (seriously – 2 year old molars at 15 months? Yes, it happens). Keira: What’s this for? Me: It’s Riley’s pain medicine. He takes it before bed. Keira: Before bed? Me: Yes, before bed. Keira: (confused) Be…fore……bed? Me: (frustrated) Yes, before…
Jean-Luc last week asked this question on his blog: “Name a group of people you would choose as guests in a dinner party and why. Choose as many as you wish.” Now, unlike other memes which I do and then forget within moments, this question actually stayed with me for days. Perhaps because this is…
