Monday, etc

Work is starting to settle down into a more or less predictable routine, and I think we've most of the kinks worked out of the system. Now with spring coming, we are getting into one of the busier seasons for arranging work assignments. Here at Purity Control, we've been in consultation with the Department of Muggle Domestication to coordinate adjustments to some of the contracts used; we'd like the arrangements people use when requisitioning muggles or muggleborns to not be too contradictory. We hope that after the language is reconciled, we'll be able to introduce lower rate contracts. The efficiency will certainly be appreciated by the chaps in accounting.

Spent the weekend dealing with goats and working hard at spring chores. Ginny, I was inspecting the bee hive frames in preparation for spring. Can you let me know where you order equipment for the hives, or did Dad make it? There are several wooden honey comb frames which rotted quite a bit this winter and need to be replaced.

Ron, you should have the package by now I promised you for today. The leather gloves and wool muffler were Dad's, and I think the gloves should fit. Found the tin of biscuits in one of my favourite shops in New London; thought you'd appreciate the Quidditch players zooming around the outside of the tin. Once again, happy birthday!
