Right, red for both — though Thursday, can we call that a do-over rather than a date? I was twelve minutes late and my shirt had paint on it.

Does it matter what we call it? Sorry — twelve minutes is nothing, I once missed a train by forty seconds.

Sorry, that "does it matter" read badly on my phone — ignore me, I've rewritten this text four times. I'd like to take you out properly on Saturday, on the record.

Bus, because it rained and I had a wet sleeve — sorry, that wasn't the question. Saturday I'm free after two, and I'd like to actually be asked, so ask me properly.
