Thank you. I've just extended my stay in the boarding house here in York. Nothing special, but a quiet room and they'll send up some soup if I call down to ask it. (And, goodness, no. It was just a bad batch of scallops, I think. I thought at the time that there was something a bit queer about the sauce, but I expect it was the flesh. It happens.)
I haven't had a chance to see Miss Perks, but I did know that she's found it a bit rough, trying to please Healer Korotkova. (But, truly, she'll do her best to satisfy, and I think in the end, she'll find her efforts rewarded. And she'll learn a tremendous amount. Including a bit of German? That is ambitious.)
I quite agree about Miss Parkinson, and her social skills are not the only thing she has on offer. Horace says she's quite a good Potioneer with potential for continuing if she chooses. I suppose the thing is that our top academicians don't often have much in the way of social graces. At least at the age we see them.
Hm. I can't say I'm surprised that the broom was a challenge. I quite admire you for trying at this juncture, and good for you, sticking with it until you found your balance again. Impressive, really. I'd suggest it's due to your persistence and regularity with the walking: you do yourself a great deal of good to move your limbs. It helps with rediscovering your own boundaries and balance.
Speaking of Antosha, I need to be in touch with him. I thought I'd give him a while to sort out what's what before I expect him to know answers to which suppliers he'd like to have me visit and which contracts he'd like to review himself. I shouldn't be surprised if he's not thought about that side of his new work.
And, oh, the cave in that book. I found that absolutely nerve-wracking. Simply torture, and it did go on!
