(((Michelle, Ali))) That is really interesting and reassuring to me, thank you. Ali, thank you for such a thoughtful post, I really appreciate it. That info from bf is really interesting and insightful. It has helped me loads. And yes, I also agree with your Mum, backing off now is probably not helpful.

I have composed an email which I could send tomorrow lunchtime. What are your thoughts?

'Hiya

How's things? I'm just eating my sandwich and looking through the Proms programme and noticed the Pines of Rome is on on Thursday the 6th August at 7.30, do you fancy it? There is also some Rossini and Mendelssohn which look pretty good that evening too. Maybe, as the cake place is at South Ken, we could have cake after work, instead of fitting in lunch when you are still so new at your job and then wander up and queue for tickets.

What do you reckon?
