Current mood: cold

A word to the wise: the next time anyone follows up a sentence with the phrase "and it's set in exotic Switzerland", walk away. Quickly.

I'm staying in a complete hovel of an inn at the foot of the Alps outside Altdorf, where everyone speaks either Romansh or Troll. It has stormed for a week. Recently I was propositioned by a shaggy seven-foot beast of a warlock whose idea of buying me a drink included a paper tropical umbrella. This appears to be the trend in this clime's bars, as some sort of dramatically unfunny joke. As a result, there tend to be more splinters than vodka in my Red Cap's Blood.

It is still snowing. There is no more whiskey in the hotel bar.

Whatever you do, Xiomara, should anyone spontaneously burst into song, I suggest you relocate yourself immediately.

Though, I have heard that the Ministry does Forgive Unforgivable Curses in such situations.

No spontaneous song as of yet, but I did see a dwarf dressed as a nun. Will keep both eyes open on that one, and his Argentinian friend.

Glad to hear that Lily's enjoying Tahiti. I should think the wild boars and Muggle tourists are to her palate's liking.
