I apologize as this has nothing to do with work - but apparently my uncle owned a horse. So now I own a horse. Have for a while now. I just - didn't know it. Does any one have any experience with horses Betsy and Brian your from money, don't English people from money have horses?, I have no idea if it's a good quality horse, or if it's been being taken care of properly.

My moneys on something going horribly wrong when that Doctor fellow is in the country. I haven't decided what yet - I'm thinking rain of toads. Probably because The Ten Commandments was on TV

I think this place has made me jaded. Or made me expect the worst.

I think I have a cold probably some sort of magical cold - knowing my luck. Got loads of sanitizer on my desk, and tissue. Should be able to contain the germs. Unless their magical germs - then all bets are off.

I realize that holidays are now over - but I've been putting off a trip for a while, and the new year seems as a good of time as any to tidy up loose ends. So I'm taking a short leave, because I have to travel to Canada.

Some family member on my mothers side left something there, or immigrated there - I'm not really clear on the details, but apparently said item needs to be returned to the castle. Or else the ghost will bitch about it and go on.

Making a trip back to the US next week - back to Boston. One of my cousins has added another to the baseball team they seem to be trying to make had another child. There having their new addition baptized and they seem to think I'd make a good god-father I need to be there.

Moose-Pig.

That's my word of the day - no word of the week. I had no idea there could be such a thing, but - well now I do.

I am ruined for normal life, once you have to write out moose-pig what feels like a hundred times, there is no going back.

Another Halloween done with.

Scariest thing I had to contend with was a bunch of sugar crazed children, and that was yesterday morning.

ooc: backdated to October 10th shortly after Dane got this message. And from Dane's private journal.

( Private )

Rather belated notice of "back". Miss anything while I was gone?

ooc: Dane doesn't tweet in the real-verse. But in the AU verse since his life is less wacky, of course he does!

Running late. Sorry. Epic traffic jam. Seems to be non magical in nature. Although could be car gremlins

ooc: posted via Dane's Blackberry.

Crazy weather. Seems to be just one of those things though, and nothing mystical, or magical, or freaky about it. I hope.

am glad that the castle was modernized because otherwise I'd be freezing. Still. Place is drafty. I know, I know bitch more because I inherited a castle.

Back.

Miss anything exciting?

So ... everyone survived Halloween, right? Figured there would have been a memo or something if someone didn't, or if we had a case of zombies.

So I'm off to Exmoor National Park, as per Alistaire's orders. Some sort of wild cat goose chase it seems .... talk to you people when I get back.

Science department is back to not being our fans. I really didn't mean to get them so annoyed at a simple game of poker....

Very sore losers.

Well the news seems to say things are back to normal.

I checked with the science dept -- they have no clue, as to what caused the reversal. They do however have seemed to have warmed up a bit. I've been invited to one of their poker games.

ooc: posted after powers gone back to normal. But before Dane knows about the dinos.
