Lunch was lovely. It feels like it's been ages, and it was so good to see you. Once we finally get our permits approved, my schedule ought to be a great deal more predictable. The Ministry's really been keeping us waiting, which is so annoying, honestly, it's just a standard approval process that's supposed to be a two week turnaround at most, but lately everything has been taking twice as long to get processed.

Anyways. I'm sorry Ptolemy's been such an arse. (I know, I know, he's been having a stressful time at work, and family's always been a sore spot with him, but I still can't believe he said that about your mum, and I don't care how much stress he's under, that's still no excuse.)

I think I can make it for drinks on Thursday after work. Balestra, right? I'll let you know if anything comes up between now and then.
