alt_blaiseAs surprises go, that was quite a nice one. And well executed. Malfoy, I understand that was largely down to you, so thank you very much.
The courtly hats were tremendous, and Jugson: you're a natural in motley!
Perks: I'm told you were the one to suggest Tarocchi. Clearly, Teds' was the most unusual deck, though I enjoyed Professor Slughorn's most of all. (Thank you, sir, for lending it to the occasion.)
Parkinson: the dancing was an entertaining idea, though I think we need to hire a dancing master if we ever plan another Renaissance evening. You have to confess that our attempts at the Galliard were not entirely dignified. Good fun, though, surely.
The roast swan was brilliant. I don't believe I've ever tasted anything so good, which, of course, is saying something. Bravo to Harrods' food halls and to whomever made the selections--Malfoy, I suspect you.
Oh, and the self-filling goblets were a pleasant surprise, weren't they? I confess, though, that things are a bit fuzzier than I'd expected this morning.
My thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with me. It was wonderful fun.

And Renaissance dancing really is far more complicated than I thought! At least people looked very elegant when they bowed and curtseyed, even though we were all doing it at different times. And it was fun, so there's that.
Many Happy Returns!
