alt_sinistraAre you as swamped with last minute panic over OWLs as I am? I certainly want drink and distraction tonight. And good grief, Capper. A few things, so I don’t forget them later.
First: If you met Victoriana on a Tuesday afternoon in New London, you could use meeting up with me after as an excuse if she tried to drag the conversation out uncomfortably. (And if we had supper somewhere public after, it might also squash any gossip before it starts.)
Do you need ideas on locations? I think Campanella and I have eaten recently at several places near the Ministry that suit a visibly public but actually private conversation that might suit.
Second: I keep coming back to the transcripts from the April YPL meeting. Would you be willing to have a look at them - one bit in particular? Something’s still nagging at me about Stint in there. I’ve got the full transcript, plus my and Felix’s notes on body language and tone of voice.
(Doesn’t have to happen this weekend. But if there is something, I’d want to figure out the next step sooner than later.)
Third: Have any of your friends or relations expressed a desire to entertain you for your birthday? (I am sorry I’ve the YPL thing in the afternoon, but of course when we set the schedule, I had no idea I’d want to be otherwise occupied.) I'd understand if you want a night in New London or elsewhere without me, you know.
But if not, I’ve some plans of my own I’d like to finalise. You deserve a particularly excellent birthday this year, after all.

Date: 2012-05-20 12:42 am (UTC)Thanks, on the transcript. It's just - well, you know how when you write a word over and over, and all of a sudden you're sure you're spelling it wrong, even though you aren't? It's like that. If you say there's nothing to it, I'll trust you.
You're quite right on the difficult few months: I can't imagine living with that for so long. (Rather impressive she managed as well as she did, really.) I do feel particularly bad about the YPL counsellor position now, too. That, and the Gryffindor boys are the two I think are going to haunt me wondering if I made the right decision.
Right. Let me send a quick owl about the place I have in mind for next Saturday, and then I should be able to come down for the night, transcripts and all.
