Summer camp game 6

So we have to figure out what is carried around in the headmistress' bag potion wise.

So potion one is: draught of peace

potion two is: mandrake draught

potion three: babbling beverage

Potion four: Murtlap Essenence

What a random assortment the headmistress carries around!
I have spent the week learning about something that is called first aid and CPR in the muggle world. It was very fascinating as they don't use magic to fix broken arms or illness.

Muggles spend time pretending to be ill or something is broken and another muggle comes along and helps them out by putting a bandage or a sling, or do other things to them. If the muggle isn't breathing then CPR, if the muggle is breating but not conscious then recovery positing.

I tell you, muggles are very strange and sometimes primitive!

I've been really busy with my friends birthday party. I haven't even had time to write or take some pics for the summer camp game.

I'll have to get onto these things right away! I must say though I have been working on Clara's gift and it is almost finished. Just the last push and off everything can go!

Tink, tink, tink

is actually the sound of rain this time, not me tinking my project for Clara.

It's been really nice to be able to sit here and listen to the rain against the cabin windows. Ollie and the snakes are hanging out outside in the puddles. Ollie has managed to convince them to act like a jet ski while he rides on their back. How does he get away with these things?

I'm working on Clara's gift, and I have about 20 rows left. Which doesn't seem like a lot and it isn't considering I had to tink and frog it a few times. So I have learned not to work on it while I am tired (should have known better in the first place anyways!)

So since most of the item is finished I've been looking at the rest of the parcel. I have the pattern chosen, the yarn, and a few other bits and bobs. I'll have to do some more thinking for the rest of the things.

Poor Clara must think I'm a right random wizette for asking about 20 questions that were relatively random. But she did answer them in good form and humour so something nice might come of them!

Right off I go to tell the snakes and Ollie to come in for some hot treats!

Summer camp game 3

I think there was a boggart about today in the woods. All of a sudden I was up really really high for no real reason. I hate heights, I'm really really scared of them, and I was about to freak out, but managed to keep my cool.

So a good spell for a height boggart is this







and you can then turn it into this:






which always makes me laugh really hard, as you're then closer to the ground, and you have a totally different perspective on the whole entire situation. You can see some amazing things when upside down, Try it!
