Tonight

[alt_sinistra]

It looks to remain clear tonight, so if anyone would like to join me for some relaxed star gazing on the Astronomy tower, I’ll be up there after supper until curfew.

There’s a particularly good chance to see a half dozen of the brightest objects in the sky at once this week, during the first hour after sunset, and the crescent moon makes for good stargazing in general.

It was busy, yes, and straight through the night. Night terrors, bed wetting, upset tummies, breathing difficulties, and not a few bona fide bouts of hysteria.

Things are quiet now, though I expect they will pick up again tonight. Thank you for extending yourself to the students with your offer for this evening: that's Healer's work, as well.

I quite understand, having been close enough to hysteria myself, most of last night. I'd regret the copious applications of alcohol when we got back to Spencer, but it was the best of a bad lot of choices, I think.

As to tonight, well. It seemed the thing. I know it will steady me, and the responses so far make it clear that I'm not the only one.

Yesterday was - I don't even have the words. And knowing that students were listening (Miss Perks carefully asked me some questions that made that clear) was even worse.
