Now that the summer has passed, we must once more prepare for a brand-new academic year. I have my new school shoes polished and ready by the front door (I've been wearing them in around the house, so that they're comfy for Thursday - I expect you have too), and Bourbon has his brand new school uniform hanging up and ready for the big day. Both I and he are eager to see you all again. So, be sure to go to bed early tomorrow night and have your luggage prepared so that you can rush into school on Thursday morning, where we will be waiting to greet you.
