And so I took a little trip to the Oathlands, much to my surprise, and assisted in finding some lost explorers. Poor souls had some incredibly bad luck, and got caught out without rope. Note to self - never go anywhere without rope.

I am looking forward to tea with several different people over the next couple of weeks. It just seems that we keep having difficulty catching up and I miss my friends and fellow troublemakers.

It is good to start catching up with friends again, and to enjoy the end of summer and the start of autumn. This is one of my favourite times of year.
That and my birthday.

The Storybook Soiree was absolutely lovely. The costumes beautiful and I have never seen the Vellichorian Academy quite so spectacular. It was a wonderful affair. I quite enjoyed it, even if I was not dressed as any particular story.
I think there were many who put a lot of thought and effort into their costumes, and it showed. I think I still see stars, from all the great costumes. And the wine.
Okay, maybe it's the wine.

This week has been busy with children and family. I'm happy for it, as this time with the babies will pass far too quickly. I hope that the rest of the house isn't kept awake when they can't sleep at night.

The Grayson Grand Festival was a lot of fun. I didn't get to see all the events, as I was helping Lady Rhiannon with the Archery tournament. I was pleased to be able to give out the prizes in the end, and then I did get to go dancing with Harlan, and that is always a good thing.
I do love to dance, and he does it far better than he likes to let on. The dancing was definitely a lot of fun.

I am looking forward to the Grayson Grand Festival this weekend! It should be a lot of fun. You should go enjoy it! Yes, you.
Everyone should go to the festival and have some fun, if only for a few minutes.

I ran into Marquis Harthall today at Bold Espressions. He seems to have managed to dig himself out of his library, which is wonderful! I do hope he continues to be out and about as his dry wit always adds to any occasion.

I feel like I want to get out and socialize again. It really is true that life does go on.
And after the baby is born, it takes a few weeks to get to this stage, but it happens. I am thrilled. Although this does mean I may have to find some mischief to get up to.

Dinner with the Graysons is always entertaining. It was good to see some friends back in town after an absence and it was also good to enjoy a peaceful dinner.
I am looking forward to more of them!

Thank you to all who have provided such good advice and encouragement. I can safely say that we do indeed have two nannies now. We were short one, admittedly! And several other wonderful people employed to help with Emilie and Brennan.
Also, I have had a fair amount of sleep and am feeling much better for it.
And now, back to the mysteries and uncertainty that is life here in Arx. Why does it appear so many people had the same dream? Surely it must mean something!

I do get to sleep again sometime, right?

It's a good thing I love my husband, I think. I mean, political marriage and all, it is a definite bonus when one discovers a compatibility of spirit.
But he's still not touching me ever again.
Wait - there is such a thing as tea. Fine, maybe not for several years.

I had to go to the masquerade, even though I am told I am ready to give birth at any time. Still, I had to go see, and I am very glad I did. Everyone - whoever they were - was spectacular in their costumes. The designers, tailors and seamstresses did themselves proud.
I only wish I could have stayed until the end.

I think I have enough energy to go to the wedding reception this evening. But if this baby doesn't come soon, I may go crazy. Crazier. More crazy? One of those at any rate.

Lady Arcadia, a scribe brought your journal to my notice, and I thought to mention - if Duke Harlan and I can manage to dance together, I am certain you can do so as well. Though I will own the height difference between you and the Count is slightly more than between Harlan and me, I am positive it is something that can be done.

I am so ready for this little one to be born. Healthy and whole, that's the important thing. Happy - that too, hopefully.
At least I will be happy once the babe is on the right side of things.

The Royal 3 year olds know how to throw a party.
Also, the olives were very good, but a tad spicy. I may still have heartburn.

I am very pleased for Mistress Petal's and Sword Cillian's marriage. I hope it works out wonderfully well for them.

I haven't been up to much of late. Between one thing and another, it's been difficult to get moving. I can't see my toes, and I feel out of sorts and cranky. But Mistress Josephine has assisted me with a commission and I am thrilled with it!
I wonder if there are any more raspberries to be found.
