Mum,
You know how much it means to hear it from you and of course we'll listen to it as many times as you want OMG all proper.
The place is remarkably still in one piece. I hope the C's aren't giving you too much grief. The students are lucky to have your wisdom. You'll show me all your new work when you get back. Civility Love to father,
