(no subject)

I'm pretty sure the subtext of the conversation I just had with the embassy was "we had entirely forgotten to process your visa until your call made us look in the random pile of passports on the desk", but the text was that I should get my visa on Friday, which means that a) I do actually get to go, and b) I can actually leave the flat for a few days instead of waiting fruitlessly for the postman to ring even once.
