London!

We got in yesterday afternoon with a shopping list as long as my arm, and it was really nice to spend the night in my old room. And see Hitty again! She fixed us a really big dinner, so I guess she missed us too.

And this afternoon, I get to go off with Lucius (hooray!) to finish up some of my school shopping, because mum has loads and loads of appointments with wedding people, and my shopping would never get done otherwise.

That's so nift!

What's Madam Ardenia's like? I know it's really, really posh, but I've never been.

I've been over at Lana Sandoval's tonight, though, that was utterly stupe. We saw her photographs and Mr Sandoval took Parvati on a tour of the paintings and all. And Lana served us chocs and real Turkish coffee. It was amazing. They have this tiled room, it's really incredible.

Anyway. Mum said maybe we could get some patchouli and jasmine, but it's nothing like having a whole scent designed just for yourself, is it? Did they give you enough to wear everyday? Or is it only for special occasions?

It's smaller than I thought it'd be, but it's really really beautiful. And understated. And they served an absolutely lovely tea.

And I didn't get too much, because I'll be going back in a year anyways. Mlle Givaudan said that I shouldn't use it too often right away, because then I'd become desensitised, and wouldn't be able to tell when I put too much on. Don't want to overdo it, you know? But if I do run out between now and next year, I can always order more.

Sandoval's does sound nice. I'm surprised she had the time, with all her training and everything.

It sounds totally snitch.

And we didn't stay very late, of course. Sandoval's very busy, it's true, and the programme is ever so important. But, well, I guess it's sort of like Mr Malfoy. He's very busy, but he makes time for you, too. And Sandoval makes time for her friends even though she's got loads to be going on with.
