Mid-September

[alt_sinistra]

In New London for the afternoon, a combination of errands and catching up with two of my sisters. It is amazing how quickly things fall into place after just a week or two back at school, really - I’ve been working tidily through my list and plans, and it’s so satisfying to see things checked off.

The weather, alas, not so much - we’ve had some glorious stargazing weather the last week, but I’m afraid it’s the last gasps before the far more uncertain days of the fall and winter.

Temp - thanks again for rounding more of those up. And for the other set of used-book searching, too. Gilly - no worries that you had to cancel, I found other company, but next week? Could do lunch at one.

Well, and planning the thing is traditionally the bride's job. (Not that that part matters, but I'm quite aware it's the best chance to set out a little of my own style as a hostess in the best possible circumstance. It'd be stupid to duck the opportunity.)

You are quite right my parents would never forgive us. Or anyone else. Alas. I'll bring the references down. Poppy also suggests (sensibly) asking her to do a full proposal, and making sure it seems in order, which I'll do sometime tomorrow.

And time with you's all I ever ask, you know. Right. Teaching, then I'll be down to your bed, and that will start the day wonderfully. (Do go to sleep, though, and don't wait up for me.)

And you can have all my late afternoon and evening, barring the staff meeting. (Not what I'd pick for my birthday, but duty calls or something. I look forward to Antosha's comments, anyway.)
