Just to be clear, I have been far too busy over the past few months to have had anything to do with the recent IT problems. That said, had the proposals contained in my report been implemented in full, I am confident this situtation would not have occurred.

Edit: It seems (belated) birthday wishes are in order for Baroness D'Souza. Congratulations etc.

Edit 2: Fuck off, Kinnock Junior

*After about 5 minutes of searching online, Peter gave up and went back to his reading. It's not that he couldn't see the potential advantages of keeping in D'Souza's good books, it's just that he's pretty sure the only way of doing that would be to actually turn up to the House on at least a semi regular basis and to be honest, even with the occasional risk of a Mace binding, it's just not worth it. John's reappearance with gifts therefore takes him somewhat by surprise.*

...uh.

*He examines both cards carefully and eventually selects the slightly less effusive of the two.*

Not as such. Why?

*John digs around in the far too large carrier bag the young man on the checkout put his few items in and pulls out a couple of gift vouchers - a regular one and one for one of those ebook things. The throws them on the table as well.*

It isn't a great deal but I don't think she is expecting anything so it should be enough.

*Peter digs out his wallet and pushes enough notes across to cover the regular voucher. Anyone can buy a book, but if Frances doesn't have an e-reader then the second voucher's pretty useless.

It's the work of a couple of minutes to scrawl something in the card, then pop it and the voucher in the envelope.*

If you're heading back to the House, would you mind putting this in her pigeon hole?

*John picks up the finished cards.*

It shouldn't be too much bother, I'm sure.

*John says a quick goodbye and heads through the fireplace to deliver the cards.*
