I feel you on that, Suzi. I only have a half hour left at work,so I have decided not to ask anyone if they have anything I could do (as I would normally when I am idle) because nothing ever takes half an hour.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

I think it's clear enough in the sentence, but does the minister have another title you can use?
Well, I guess that's what I'm asking -- is there another title that would describe someone who works in the Foreign Office? It's a review of a book I haven't read, so my knowledge of the specific character being discussed is nil.
eta: but I'm glad you think it reads OK as is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That first link wasn't there anymore, ita. But I followed them!

Oh, I hoped it was an actual person and you could find out they were the Undersecretary for Belgravia or whatever. In general, I think the well-read American would know what it means.

Maybe say cabinet minister to clarify? If that's even right, but maybe some sort of specifying adjective would help.

OK, that's good to hear. Maybe I'll keep it for now and see if my boss trips over it whens she reads it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay for house, Dana!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, sorry--tried to pare the attributions too far: [link]
They might not be a cabinet minister, Kate, but they are a government minister, in the most general of senses.

I love this comic [link] because that is just perfectly awful.
Heh. That's perfectly awesome.
I have many thoughts on gender, and lots of them even conflict with each other. My brain is a complicated place.

Because books.
Are ministers also diplomats? Because that might work.
