Busy

[therealpm]

*picks up blackberry*

*scrolls through menu to check messages*

...odd.

I didn't know Cameron had-

...ah.

*smirks*

Well isn't this amusing.

*Tosses a pinch of powder into the grate and steps through to the laboratory of The Machine*

Machine, I require a complete facsimile of this.

*Holds up blackberry*

Software and data will do for now, but I need a physical version by tomorrow.

*smirks*

An exact copy- nothing less.

*pokes head round doorway*

Excellent, I'm sure you can find the plates.

*wanders into the living room with a bottle, a corkscrew and two glasses*

Just a small one; some of us have to oversee a debate about a referendum on the continuation of the United Kingdom's membership of the EU tomorrow...

*Leaves to find cutlery and plates*

...has he still not sorted that cupboard? Goodness gracious...

*Returns with two slices of cake on plates*

I take it these are suitable?

*notes signs of only minor burn marks with some disappointment*

Yes, yes.

*passes over a moderately full glass of wine*

Although if you could try to fit in at least one sip before the cake besmirches your palate, it would be most appreciated.

*Eyes the full glass suspiciously but takes it nonetheless*

Oh well if you insist.

*Takes a sip*

Mmm, that really is rather nice. I'll have to remember that one for future reference.

*Put wine down and eats cake instead*

*takes a long, contented sip*

It is, who on earth bought it for you?

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

It was a second-hand recommendation from a friend of a friend, and even then I don't think I got the right one. But never mind, this is more than adequate.

*glances at John's crumb covered plate*

I see where Freddie gets it from...

*sips wine*

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

At least he's inherited something from me, even if it isn't my politics.

*Has another sip of wine*

So how have you been then? Keeping yourself busy, I take it?

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

I'm sure the ability to imbibe vast amounts of food in a very short period of time will some in useful one day.

Oh, this and that. Nothing too high profile.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

We can but hope.

Glad you're keeping yourself busy.

*Takes another sip of wine*

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

How are his abilities progressing, by the way?

*sips drink*

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Far too well and sadly he seems to 'forget' the No Magic At School rule increasingly frequently. He adores flying but what with so much happening with work recently I haven't had time to take him as often as either of us would like. Still, we'll find time eventually.

He's trying to convince us to dye his hair red for him and I've had quite a time talking Sally into not doing it to annoy particular attempts at publications.

A simple glamour which only takes effect when at home would solve that problem.

*stretches and drains glass*

However it will have to wait until tomorrow. I am getting far too old for these late nights.

*Looks from Peter to own half full glass*
*Sets glass down on side table*

Right you are, I should probably have headed back earlier but never mind.

*Steps into fireplace*

Send the Tupperware box back when you've eaten the last piece of cake, would you? Thanks.

*Disappears*

*stares at John's glass as though calculating*

*smiles slightly*

*carefully picks it up and empties it down the kitchen sink*
