      Congrat Cats.jpeg ... sounds intriguing!

      I am not progressing I am afraid. My mind is all elsewhere at the moment with medical issues. However, I do have it all out next to me and I did muddle about a bit a few weeks ago. :smile:

            Well done. :blue thumb:

            I certainly agree :thumbsup:. When I was writing my books my editor always found things to nag about. He always used to return everything if I forgot to double space it - even though he could have done it himself. :doh: He said that it was part of his job description. :heehee:

                          @Palustris :wow: 5 books still waiting on your editor!!! You are very industrious! Perhaps I should say 'prolific' as an author, who I read for a great many years called Isaac Asimov, used to describe himself!

                            Well I have been writing them for over 50 years and only had them published over the last 10 so there was a lot of stuff which needed rewriting and that is why there are so many.
                            To buy a copy of each from Amazon would cost £60 or so.
