About finished up here- students were a bit slower than usual, hope that they're not feeling overworked already.

I'm so sorry that the more tedious bits are falling to you, love. I did hear back from the reference and will look over Tallie's proposal as soon as you show it to me. So long as it meets with your stringent code of organisation and timing, I'm sure it'll do just fine for me.

Caterers, eh? I do like a good nosh (but I do tend to like everything you eat, so you'll have to tell me what's actually nice) and following that with a night out sounds brill, and Spence even better. Cramming it in around your Dad's birthday sounds like it might turn out hectic- would you rather do in October?

Meet up with you in a bit to discuss the rest.
