Are we too late to organise something before Christmas?
It is never too late.
The 23rd strikes me as a good date for some reason. A Monday.
If you think this is good, then may I assist with the planning?
As Mr Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries said, "I'm free!".
And it could be something that charsiew's housemate might add into their Christmas diary?
And if charsiew were to be there, too, then maybe I could regale them with a few of my chilling tales?
