Quintus Calidus Harper

...have any particularly interesting anecdotes, such as Su, to share regarding work, so let's not ask, yeah?

...believe Lucia is planning on marrying someone in the next two weeks, like McGrath's sister is - so... nothing there.

...particuarly understand why Titus disapproves of my nephew sliding down the bannister this morning. I'd slide down the bannister if it didn't annoy Titus more when I Apparate into the breakfast room. You should see his face - he glowers. Yeah, extremely amusing. I love annoying him - but don't worry, Ginny. You're still my favourite person to irritate. The reactions can be so beautiful, and you give as good as you get.

...understand why Lena lets her customers talk to her and leer at her in the way they do.

...think I'd have ever guessed that one of the long-term residents here is actually the aunt of the Hobbits. It's rather uncomfortable when you're trying to deal with a patient and their niece happens to be staring at you like they've never seen a person like you before.


...comprehend why Urquhart actually went along with clearly terrible advice and asked Serena Morivan out.

Oh wait. He's a stoner.

Idiot. Though, it is kinda my fault. Er...

( Private to Everyone Sans Demelza )

Several things to note of varying interest:
1. I am taking my girlfriend out this coming week after Demelza's birthday
2. I have a two week holiday starting tomorrow.
3. Titus came home on Wednesday and was smiling his head off. It was a bit unnerving, actually.
4. He hasn't stopped smiling since Thursday night. And it's incredibly unnerving.
5. He's decided to claim custody over Ti. Well, he took long enough to decide to do so. What has gotten IN to him?
6. Lucia's came home today and'll be here for the next three months. Oh, and Julius, she said she'd drop by to see her niece. Guess that means she is talking to Julius, then. And she's still single. Not sure what to think of that.
7. Urquhart, sorry to say, has not changed one. Single. Bit.
8. I miss Tracey.
9. My mental mother dropped by for dinner today to inform us she's going a'travelling again.
10.I haven't seen Maddy in ages. Lunch, Ace. We need to have lunch this week.

Ace, Robins and Vaisey - it is done. No glowing letters required.

Alright, Vaisey - I didn't tell her in a letter. I will. Because you'll give me no rest until I do, but I will.

I have a theory paper next week the very morning my nephew arrives for a two week visit. Splendid.

And, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to cancel all usual social engagements until that paper is through, because following it I have a practical examination I am not nearly enough ready for. Yes, Demelza, that includes weekly drinks. Yes, Vaisey, that includes your piss-taking gatherings. And no, Helena, that doesn't include owling you. Though, I feel very selfish for distracting you from your own study time.
