Also private from anyone who would tell Dora, and any/all prior DEs.]</b><br />There's only so much one can do with these things. At least the white makes it easier to decorate--but there are rather few things one can actually do to make them look better.<br /><br />I suppose at least I had a choice of what to get. The collar was rather a resounding no. Ted was upset enough when the order came; that would not have helped. And it would seem too much like choking. So a bracelet.<br /><br />I've been staring at it since I got it, and no amount of decoration makes it any better.<br /><br />Sequins do make it slightly more amusing.<br /><br />Wearing long-sleeved shirts whenever Dora visits is growing a little tiresome. Perhaps Ted is right, and I should simply tell her, but she inherited a somewhat impetuous nature (from whom, I haven't the slightest notion, as neither Ted nor I has ever been quite like that) and I don't know at all what she would do.<br /><br />And she has far too much to worry about as it is.<br /><br />I think I'm getting a headache--this entire appeal? One big headache.<br /><b>[/Private]</b><br /><br />Ted's lost his glasses again; I have yet to find them, but I have three more rooms to go before I've done a complete circuit of the house.<br /><br />I've been dusting as I went through, too. And the curtains rather needed a washing. And I might have alphabetized all our magazines in the magazine rack. <br /><br />This was on the bookshelf in the living room. Along with the one given to Ted--neither of us has really touched these, but I suppose it's well past time one of us did. Dora is all very well and good for a source of information, but she likes to leave things out so as not to worry us.<br /><br />And I'm told these are better than the Daily Prophet.<br /><br />So; Andromeda Tonks. <br /><br />Beyond locating Ted's glasses, I think it would be prudent to hire help for the shop.<br /><br />I will add it to the list.
