Happy birthday to Bill!

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my dear firstborn son, Bill. You taught me how to be a Mum, son, and I'm very proud of the man you've become. I know your father was, too.

Happy birthday, Bill! So Mum cut her parenting teeth on you, so to speak. Well, that explains a lot. She continued to go increasingly off the rails when Charlie came along, and by the time we made our appearance, the case was hopeless.

We'll be there tonight, Mum. Hitty may sulk a bit, but we wouldn't miss your steak and kidney pie for anything.

Thanks, Mum. I should be home in a moment. Just finishing up some paperwork.

Oh, good. I saw a last minute message from your boss and I was afraid....

Well, never mind. I'll see you when you get home. The pie is out of the oven and cooling.

He wanted me to stop by so he could give me a gift. Can you believe it? I imagine he found out it was my birthday through the journals. He gave me a bottle of Firewhiskey, a tin of real vanilla beans, and a pound of top quality French roast coffee.

My goodness.

We've done the shed chores for you tonight. One part of our birthday largesse!

The goats were peeved, though. They didn't appreciate some of the effects of a few of the little tidbits we snuck into their feed. It's a handy way to knock off a birthday obligation AND get in some live subject experimentation of our new products at the same time.

And I suppose this has something to do with why the partition was kicked down in the shed tonight.

[alt_gredforge]

We're not saying the product doesn't need further work.

Many happy returns, Bill. I hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Happy Birthday, Bill. Hope today was a sight better than yesterday - for you and Jeremy both!

Hope Mum cooked you something amazing tonight.

How old does this make you? I've lost count...

[alt_bill]

I'm 26, although I swear I'm starting to lose track, too.

The key thing to remember is that I'll always be older than you. Whether that means wiser or more decrepit I suppose is open to debate.

By the way, Auror Lamont mentioned to me yesterday that she met you when you interviewed for an intern position. I won't say anything to Mum--that's your business--but I just wanted to let you know it sounds as though you made a good impression on her.

She also mentioned that Justin had an interview, too. Have either of you told Alice of your intention?
