I don't even see why the circus needs a wireless. Gryphon Place hasn't even been that good recently. And Leavers? Really? A pregnancy scare at Hogwarts? We have those here too.
Maybe we should chuck it, go down to the pub, and watch some Love thy Neighbour on BBC4 instead. Or Benny Hill. That's still on, right? Bagpuss? |

I'm certain you've had an outpouring of support, but I'm sorry for your loss
[Warded to Xavier Barkwith, Darby Cornerstone]
Hey. If you hear of any auditions coming up, can you let me know?
[Warded to Darby Cornerstone]
How's it going?
[Warded to Viola Esposito]
Here's one. What's green and has wheels? |

So. Viola's decided to start planning the wedding. July, we're thinking. Will you lot be Groomsmen for me? I'll probably not shove you all into the tiny car.
[Warded to Charles Longbottom]
Vi's started planning the wedding and I was wondering. Would you be my best man?
[Warded to Viola Esposito]
Did today seem strange to you? Because I had three children just burst into tears on me. No spilled popcorn, or popped balloons, or anything.
Anyway, I've made some progress on talking to people just now. |

Godric's Hollow hasn't changed much, has it?
[Warded to friends]
Also, never pass out in a tent full of clowns on 1 April.
Are the journals working again? |

April Fools Day is a wonderful day! It's practically Clown New Year!
You know in France they stick fish to one another's backs without being noticed and the Scots have their own thing where they hunt gawks--which I think are a kind of bird, but the man who was telling me about them was a bit intoxicated. And who could forget that devilishly inspired stunt two years ago where Caraca that bloke released all those stink pellets by the Prophet. Absolute brilliance.
In any case, enjoy the holiday, and if you're not feeling up to your own stunts, Nero's Magnificent Circus has two shows tomorrow, our very last in Northhampton before moving to Godric's Hollow, and we should be on point. Fun for the entire family, the odd pet, and that bloke who lives down the lane who doesn't seem to get out much!
Now. I've some spring-loaded boxing gloves to wrap for my co-workers. |

A sign! Why did I never think of that?
It'd take so much less effort than miming. But I suppose it would be a less marketable skill.
And I haven't the slightest idea what my sign would say.
[Warded to Viola]
You know, the shark is a noble, if much maligned, creature. I think we should listen to it. |

Adding to the animals are funny thread on the journals, I never knew that rabbits could bark! |

Well today's been remarkably productive! Take a shufty at what's new on the midway this week.

It's fascinating how a play can change so much in meaning from one time to the next, even if all the words are still exactly the same. If anyone gets the chance, the Welsh National Opera is doing a spectacular version of Leoncavallo's Pagliacci.
[Warded to Nic, Jay, and Gemma]
Thanks for your owls yesterday! I'd have warded sooner, but yesterday was a bit busy. |

Most everyone's likely heard, or it was in the Prophet or something, but last night Death Eaters attacked the circus. And no one was hurt but our lion, but they called Vi a blood traitor. I had been planning I feel
I mean, we're stars, of course, but, they've bigger fish to fry, right?

My favorite part of every new month is the change of scenery.

I believe I'm going to pop over to Diagon Alley later today. Does anyone need anything? |

The night helped, I hope, my upright violin?
[Warded to Jay and Gemma Patil, Melissa Fenwick, Nic Mason]
So this petite fête tomorrow: it is Viola's birthday and it dawned on me last night. While I am all for making this party all about her, in case any other guests or hosts might object, there should still be a cake or something, balloons, singing, doves, fanfare and the like. Right?
If I picked something up and either owled it or just brought it, would there be any objections do you think? |

On days like this, I just want to lie back and watch the clouds drift by, seeing what shapes they take.
But I'm not very good at that game. They always look like sheep to me.

It probably would just be better to stay ignorant. Llanidloes is so close to Cardiff, not that close, I suppose, but everything is close as rowhomes in Wales. This is a terrible world and we're talking of weddings. Briony Belle asked what was wrong. I stammered something about Valentino and Morris on that wireless programme. She said she understood my pain. I'm not certain I understand clowns. I'm not certain I understand much of what is happening in this war.
Well. Bad business all of it. The show must go on. |

Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, “Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up.” Man bursts into tears. Says, “But doctor…
( I am Pagliacci. ) |
