I was almost ready for a test when I discovered they were actually more or less a rewrite of a set I had drafted 2 years ago and forgotten! <br /><br />My experiences and various dabblings in the meantime had allowed my subconscious to come up with solutions to the original issues.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-77152047382301956672014-02-05T10:12:06.926+00:002014-02-05T10:12:06.926+00:00Arthur1815,

If I expended much more effort on this project - at the moment - I would certainly be guilty of the latter.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-12361955283904105462014-02-05T09:57:16.161+00:002014-02-05T09:57:16.161+00:00Bob,

In fact I actually realised that there was another problem looming if I made one of the changes that I had thought about making.<br /><br />I think that I am going to put them to one side for a few more days and do something else. Then I can come back to them with fresh eyes and a fresh mind ... and may even feel like starting again from scratch.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-29070050819792056252014-02-05T01:55:20.278+00:002014-02-05T01:55:20.278+00:00A good night's sleep is often a good idea in s...A good night's sleep is often a good idea in such situations. Take a break from it and come back refreshed, maybe with new insight.<br /><br />Good night and good luck!
