Were you actually worried that married life wouldn’t agree with me? Really, Mum. That part’s lovely.
(Though there’s all sorts of practical things that need better sorting: for the fortnight, I just moved more robes down to Raz’s rooms but clearly that isn’t sufficient going forward, and it is very inconvenient to have many of one’s possessions a half-dozen floors up. It would probably help if I learned to put away charts and books more promptly, but that may be a lost cause at this point in my life.)
I still don’t know about my summer. But I do have some thoughts for that conversation with Diane that’s needed having for months. (Can we borrow your house for it? More neutral than hers or - well, Spence has other issues.)
On that front, no, I don’t want to make vast changes. (All right, I sort of do, but I won’t, because they’re the wrong thing, and Spence is never going to be cozy like home was growing up. The architecture’s all wrong. It needs to be itself.) But I do have some ideas, and I’d like to build up the library there over time, and Raz and I need to sit down and talk about the entertaining we both need and want to do (two rather different things, I suspect.) And the house-elves are very bored, and maybe we could do something useful about that.
And yes, I do know I need to smooth things over in other directions with the Aunts (I am resigning myself to several tea appointments), and Theo wants to talk to me (something someone said at the reception, do you know what?). And Raz and I have done some of the thank you notes, but obviously there’s lots more.

I am just trusting it'll all sort itself out.
