alt_justinHullo, Ron, old chap!
I say, how's it going on your end? I don't half think that no work at all gets done round here during these two weeks, what. Honestly, it's a wonder they bother with an internship at Christmas.
Mr Pontner does seem to know where all the good parties are, however. I say, if we go to many more I bally well shan't be able to fit my robes.
However, some of the lads are going for a pint after lunch today (we've been told we're released after 1:00. You?). Wonder if you'd fancy joining us, if you can break away.
It hasn't been all food and fun, of course. Only it does seem that way when we're forever popping off to another department to sit in on their meetings and Mrs So-and-so has baked and Mr So-and-so brought in a box of crackers and everyone seems quite content to stay merry right through Twelfth Night. Particularly with the official Ministry party being postponed. Oh, and I should say there's been quite the discussion about that, these past two weeks, what! One would think it's the event of the season the way they were going on. I'm sure it's lovely but how can it compare to anything Our Lord puts on during the season? Are you going to the fireworks tonight? Mr Pontner hopes they'll be visible in Belgium--he's had an ongoing debate with the Belgian minister regarding trade embargoes. (I've done a little translation for him, as well, via the Floo. I say, that was an education in itself!)
But truly, I have learned quite a bit and met all sorts of hard-working people.
They've asked if I'd come back at Easter hols. I can't imagine it's all baskets and colouring eggs, what--I hope very much it's a bit more serious. I'm sure it will be, for by then, Mr Harvey will have his project well underway and it might make more sense.
Must dash. Let me know if you're able to step out and I'll make sure you know where we're going, old man.
