Happy New Year
The only thing better than a good fireworks display on New Year's Eve (and that certainly was a good one, mates) is a good fireworks display on New Year's morning. Strategically placed in certain spots throughout the house, of course. The look on my brother's face was priceless. Perfect way to greet the new year, if you ask me!

I think the only other thing that has saved my sanity this holiday was getting out of the house. Remus, mate? You definitely deserved the drink - I think I would have gone mad[der] by now if not for meeting up with you.

Can't believe I'm admitting this aloud but Monday can't come fast enough. Bring on the train!
