Yes, unfortunately. Though at the very least it was a good holiday, and it is much warmer here than it was at home. [Positives: at least there are some.]

The furniture in my apartments is still here thankfully, so I do not believe I shall require assistance with that at least. But once everything is in order yes, we should sit down and catch up. I do hope nothing untoward has happened since we last saw one another, though you sound healthy enough. And how is Miss Amelia?
