Soiree

3-page letter from mum arrived in the post this morning. Proper letter in an envelope with a stamp on it. Very positive, funny, looking forward to seeing us next month / coming to Beijing in the autumn and ending with the unusually casual but very amusing "Love Mum, Jean, whatever". End of a busy week. It's taken us 9 months but finally we got it together and invited my team over for a soiree of food and drinks. Nice, relaxed evening, not talking work amazingly.
