Provided we are moving forward with Gilles’ house or anybody else’s house, could we please agree on a transparent and speedy communication. It is very difficult being thousands of miles away, so it would be very helpful if you could respond to my mails promptly. This does not mean that you have to provide answers within one day, but at least say that you have received my mail and will answer within the next (eg. 3) days. Since I only met you once last Monday, this would enormously help building the trust between the two of us. I am sure you understand where I am coming from.
