John,
what is a suitable silencing spell for use on children?

Not the foggiest - the one and only time I attempt to silence Oliver he couldn't talk for a week so Sally and I jointly decided that it would be best for all concerned if I didn't cast silencing spells on the children in future.

Ear plugs, perhaps? Or possibly distract them with chocolate, given the day?

Their appallingly negligent father forgot to buy any.

...who manages to do that? It's not as if Easter's snuck up on the general population without any warning!

Put them in front of the television?

Westminster bubble.

...I suspect these two could rival Oliver at avidity for fce painting.

Are you sure? At the moment Freddie is a rather sulky cat and Sally's been decorated like a white rabbit. Thankfully Jemima and I have remained unpainted for the time being.

"At the moment Freddie is a rather sulky cat"

....I thought he liked having a tail?

Oh he did - immensely so - but I think what has annoyed him was being woken up by Sally laughing at the yellow and orange fur painted onto his face in his sleep. I could be mistaken, it should be noted, but it seems like a fair bet to me.

Yellow and Orange? That poor boy. Tell Freddie to stop sulking and check behind him.

What do you mean "check behind hi-

Why, Peter? Why would you do that?

Happy Easter. The spell should wear off after a day or so.

Why? I'm sure he'll be most receptive to that announcement.

I'll just have to tell him it's Uncle Peter's fault.

There are some oil paints for Oliver. I am certain he will use them responsibly.

Please tell me there are canvasses with the paints and that I do not have to worry about the state of the walls when my back is turned.

Happy Easter, John. Or is it Mr Sally Bercow?

Don't be ridiculous, of course it's not Mr Sally Berc-

...this is all your fault, Mandelson.

I'm sure it will all come out in the wash.

If the washing machine breaks you can pay for the replacement this time.

Soliciting funds from abour peers? Tsk, tsk. What will the papers say?

Who cares what the papers say? You already owe me one washing machine and-

That is to say, given what you did to my shirts and ties, I think it only fair that-

Damn it, Peter, a drum kit? I can hardly hear myself think!
