27 November 1905
“Siobhan, are you aware there are no fewer than thirty-seven pineapples in your kitchen?” Eliot Gerard cocked an eyebrow as he stood in the doorway to her bedroom. As housemates in their time at Hogwarts, Eliot had seen Siobhan at her best and worst as the two moved about the common spaces in different circles of friends. Still, he had never seen her look quite as terrible as she did when she scoweled at him from her bed. “Is that a symptom your experiencing? Or have you suddenly become good at transfiguration when you found out what they charged me for a decent pineapple in Egypt? Robbery, I say.”
Groaning as she sat up to face him, Siobhan rolled her eyes. “Galen wanted an apple tree that grew red apples. They are his favorite. I quite prefer green. Each afternoon, I pick an apple for my lunch and turn it green. I’ve lost my ability to do so and have ended up with nothing but pineapples. My magic has never done anything like this before. It can falter sometimes when I am unwell, but I think I picked something up in Norway. I’ve been to Norway twice now and I was fine the first time!”
Eliot opened his leather satchel and made notes on a quill. “Sounds like we can eliminate allergies. Did work take you to Norway again? Are short-snouts venomous?”
“Ridgebacks are not venomous. Short-snouts are Swedish. Anyway, we were on an extended honeymoon. It was lovely. There wasn’t a single dragon, bird, or pile of paperwork as far as the eye could see. A break was nice, but I’m ready to return to work. All I’m good for lately is making pineapples,” she whined, catching a glimpse of her beloved Penybryn outside of the window.
The healer began inspecting his patient for obvious ailments and maladies and found no indication of disease or discomfort. “And Galen, did he return from Norway with any symptoms?”
“Goodness, yes! Eliot, you know he isn’t one to complain or seek help. But there is something terribly wrong with him. He… oh, how do I put it kindly… he stinks. He smells like a wet porlock. All the time. Anything I say to a healer is private, yes?” her voice dropped to a whisper before Eliot nodded in the affirmative. “I drew a bubble bath last week. One with some of the herbs and salts from Victoria’s shop? She gave some to me as a wedding gift, so I decided it would be nice to coax him into the water with me. I swear to you, and to Merlin for that matter, all I could smell was him. He always smelled so nice before. I think he’s very ill. Won’t you speak with him?”
An educated smirk crossed his face as he added up the symptoms in his mind. “Siobhan, I’d imagine the same thing that causes your magic to fail is the same thing that makes you perceive scent differently, in fact, I think you were the one who published the article on hormonal changes in laden Horntails. My recommendation? Thirty more weeks of rest. It’s all you’ll get for the next seventeen years.”
“Sonofabitch,” she whispered, realizing the weight of his diagnosis.
Eliot shrugged as he put away his things, “Maybe, but could be a girl. We’ll determine that by spring. I shall see you then.”
A/N: I can’t believe there’s only one month left. Thank you for another year of trusting me with your boy @cursebreakerfarrier 💙 I love him and you dearly!

• Gulliver has a small collection of artefacts (mainly little trinkets) that remind him of Celeste: like things with star patterns, or a shiny amber stone, or something related to photography. He keeps them in an antique box with Celeste’s initials written on the lid.

• Galen learned to whittle later in life. He crafted different creatures from the wood around the Stagg Sanctuary and sometimes even hand painted them. When he decided he was actually good at whittling, around the time of Siobhan’s 60th, he made her a figure of Penybryn that was about the size of a football and painted it to look exactly like him. He even enchanted it so that smoke would occasionally puff up from its nose.

Painting and the Spirit 2
My foundation year was a profound year of learning. There are some small similarities between drawing and meditation. Long days of concentration in visual mode, moves the brain away from verbal processing into another space. I remember the power of it, walking through my home town, knowing I was in a deep, powerful place. It was the first time that drawing related to philosophical and spiritual practice. As the course unfolded and I began to explore more expressive experimental method, I remembered and reread the Tao te Ching. To work expressively there must be a level of refined focus, combined with a measure of abandon, of letting go. In later years, when I read the stages of mastery in Zen in the Art of Archery, I thought of my foundation year, where the student moves freely, instinctively without being burdened by anticipation of the opponent. The rules, the forms. There was a physical exploration of these ideas in making drawings. In maintaining a sketchbook of location drawing, I was able to combine some of these ideas with walking and time spent outdoors.
At this time I walked every day. There were a small selection of walks that I would repeat. Over Penallta Rocks to the colliery and back down Pengam Road, usually at sunset. Over the Graig, through lower cefn hengoed, to Maesycwmmer, under the viaduct, thomas St and Main Road road to Ystrad Mynach and back through the town or on church road. On longer walks, weekends or holidays, I would make a circuit up Penallta road, Penybryn, Gelligaer, Cascade, Hengoed Rd to Cefn Hengoed and either back over the Graig or through the town. Walking was on one hand immersion in visual. Light colour and subject, in post industrial semi sci-fi wreck of the valleys in the early 90's. Rust and dry grass. Council and industrial estates. It was also movement into non verbal spaces of the mind. I learned to walk in silence. Occasionally consciousness would shift and my senses too. More commonly deep sense of being in love with the world, pa unified part of it, a deep embedded, underlying fabric of love in everything, an experience familiar in meditation. Love, consciousness and existence are at some level entwined at levels that exist beyond thought. At the time I was not interested in making this an element in painting. Can it be? A question for today. At the time I was all emotion and expression, which is a different layer or frequency of experience.
On the foundation course I also read the Bhagavad Gita for the first time. I was interested in attachment, partly in the artists ability to relinquish control in a disciplined manner - the space between holding and letting go encountered in Zen, but also in the artists attachment to works. Letting go of attachment as a vehicle for learning, relinquishing ego in order to progress, as a partial abolition of self which is central to some spiritual practice. The Soul takes incarnation, in order to learn (Ram Dass).

Les parents d'un garçon de 11 ans gravement handicapé, qui a besoin de soins médicaux constants 24 heures sur 24 à domicile, ont été informés que le NHS ne peut pas lui garantir un soutien infirmier de nuit car ils ne peuvent pas chauffer correctement leur maison.Leah et Troy Van Keogh ont été informés par leur conseil de santé local qu'à moins qu'ils ne chauffent et n'éclairent suffisamment leur maison pour assurer un "environnement de travail approprié", ses infirmières n'étaient pas tenues de fournir un forfait de soins à domicile sept nuits sur sept pour leur fils. , Marly.Les Van Keogh ont déclaré qu'ils ne pouvaient plus se permettre de chauffer leur maison. Le doublement de leurs factures d'énergie au cours de l'année écoulée signifiait qu'il était devenu prohibitif de le faire 24 heures sur 24 et de faire fonctionner la vaste gamme d'équipements médicaux électriques nécessaires pour maintenir Marley en vie.Marley souffre de paralysie cérébrale sévère, d'épilepsie sévère et d'une série d'autres problèmes résultant d'une blessure traumatique à la naissance. Il a besoin de soins 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7 et utilise une gamme d'équipements médicaux électriques, notamment un ventilateur, un treuil, des pompes d'alimentation, un moniteur d'oxygène et de fréquence cardiaque, une baignoire électrique et une table à langer.Leah Van Keogh a déclaré qu'une infirmière d'agence embauchée par le fournisseur de soins de santé de son fils, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, dans le sud du Pays de Galles, a récemment cessé d'assurer les quarts de nuit à leur domicile parce que la température dans la maison était inférieure à 16 ° C. La famille avait dû fournir elle-même les soins 24 heures sur 24."Une des infirmières de l'agence a abandonné le forfait de nuit à moins que nous [would] monter le chauffage. Je ne les blâme pas. Si j'étais infirmière, j'exigerais d'être à l'aise au travail. Mais nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre de laisser le chauffage allumé toute la nuit », a déclaré Leah Van Keogh.Le couple, qui dépend des prestations d'invalidité, du soutien du revenu et de l'allocation de soignant, a déclaré que la facture d'électricité trimestrielle la plus récente de leur domicile à Penybryn, Caerphilly, avait doublé pour atteindre 409 £ au cours de l'année écoulée, et que la facture de gaz avait également augmenté.Leur sort met en évidence celui des personnes handicapées et des problèmes de santé qui ne peuvent pas se permettre de chauffer correctement leur maison ou d'entretenir l'équipement médical essentiel.Les militants ont appelé à un tarif social spécial pour plafonner les factures d'énergie des personnes, comme les Van Keogh, dont les besoins en matière de santé impliquent une consommation d'énergie élevée.Selon certaines recherches, 41 % des personnes handicapées n'ont pas les moyens de chauffer leur maison, contre 23 % de la population non handicapée. Les chiffres ont montré comment les ménages avec une personne handicapée étaient exposés de manière disproportionnée à la crise du coût de la vie.Le groupe de réflexion de la Resolution Foundation a déclaré que 48% des adultes handicapés avaient dû réduire leur consommation d'énergie cet hiver, contre un tiers des personnes non handicapées. Il a déclaré que l'ampleur de la précarité à laquelle sont confrontées les personnes handicapées devrait se refléter dans une aide gouvernementale supplémentaire avec une aide au coût de la vie.Louise Rubin, responsable de la politique de l'association caritative pour l'égalité des personnes handicapées Scope, a déclaré: «Les factures d'énergie astronomiques mettent en danger de nombreuses familles avec des enfants handicapés. Notre ligne d'assistance a été inondée d'appels de personnes handicapées dont les factures ont doublé, voire quadruplé en un an. Le gouvernement doit introduire de toute urgence un tarif social de l'énergie pour les personnes handicapées qui n'ont d'autre choix que d'utiliser plus d'énergie.Les
Van Keogh ont déclaré que l'annulation des quarts de travail infirmiers en raison du froid avait exacerbé les problèmes de dotation existants avec le programme de soins de Marley. À l'approche de Noël, 44 des 84 heures des quarts de travail de soins infirmiers prévus de Marley ont été annulées en raison de pénuries d'infirmières. Pendant la période des vacances, entre 20 heures et 30 heures par semaine ont été supprimées.Inscrivez-vous pour Première éditionNewsletter quotidienne gratuiteArchie Bland et Nimo Omer vous guident à travers les meilleures histoires et ce qu'elles signifient, gratuitement tous les matins de la semaine

Day 3 of @endlessly-cursed’s 𝐇𝐎𝐆𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐂𝐘 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊! — favourite MCs that aren’t my own
-> I have so many favourites that this list was hard to narrow down but I wanted to keep it short so I picked some OCs who deserve some more recognition! Now is the time to say that everyone’s OCs are so unique and wonderful and I love them so much. You’re all such talented creators and I’m so darn fortunate to be around you guys ❤️
Tumblr media
Siobhan Llewelyn — @kc-and-co
I don’t care what restrictions I put on my self for this day’s challenge, Siobhan is always going to be here. She’s the queen of my heart and both my life and this community wouldn’t be the same without her. She has such an awesome family in the awesome daddy Ed and the marvellous Henry… oh, and in Penybryn of course! My boy Galen is one lucky sonofabitch that’s for sure. Siobhan is feisty, gorgeous, compassionate, badass, the True Mother of Dragons, and I would die for her in an instant. If I could make one fictional character real it would be Shiv. That Mama Bear could kick my ass and I’d thank her for it.
Tumblr media
Jackson Knightly — @carewyncromwell
What’s not to like about Jacko? He’s extravagant, kind, thoughtful, loving, and just downright kingly. And I have a major soft spot for Slytherins #thebesthouse especially those who completely defy the deceptive ‘evil stereotypes. He conquers society’s dumbass expectations and his own internal demons to become Minister for Magic and revolutionise the Wizarding World: HOW COOL IS THAT?! And Jackson & Monty as lovers? Don’t get me started because I’ll end up a mushy mess of feels in a puddle of tears. Monty is literally the luckiest person on earth to have Jackson as his husband and I’m even more lucky to have both Jacko and Tory in my life 💚
Tumblr media
Unni Arcano — @kathrynalicemc
Badass Viking woman who can slice you in half with a sword? How can she not be a favourite? I mean, the whole lore of the Arcano family in general is just so detailed and I’m mind blown by it all, but I have a special place in my heart for Unni. She’s beautiful, she’s awesome, and did I mention she can wield a sword? Lol. Her aesthetic is also top tier so if you haven’t read anything about Unni and don’t love her already then I’m coming for you.
Tumblr media
Lysander Mercury — @slytherindisaster
I mean the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio is his faceclaim alone is enough to love this boy. He’s a Hufflepuff, and artist, and absolute dork, and what’s cooler than him being a Metamorphmagus? I do t know if I’ve ever mentioned it but he’d get along so well with Emerson, especially as they both become journalists. The amount of awesome, iconic, and probably embarrassing things these two would write would be legendary lol. Anyway, I just really love Lysander and I hope that we see more of him those year! 💛
Tumblr media
Blanche Dubois — @endlessly-cursed
A straight up QUEEN. She’s both a lady and a prankster, both a lioness and a soft kitten. I’ve always loved Blanche and I’m very lucky to ship Lyle with her- they’re the most adorable couple and end up with the best, most loving and supportive family. She can sing, sew, play the pianoforte, ride Abraxans, and totally just light up every room she walks in to. This gal goes on to marry for love not for status, to be a dragonologist, and to be the most awesome wife and mother. In short? A girl boss. She deserves so much love and admiration and I would totally love to spend the day with her lol.
