More editing

I have spent the whole day (with one or two pleasant interruptions) wrestling with one paragraph. The first two sentences both contain the word 'but'. They have been re-written, re-ordered, thesaurused to death. For now, the paragraph has won and I am retiring to my corner.

I empathise, and sympathise :-)

I hate it when that happens. The paragraph may have won the battle, but you, my dear Graeme, shall win the war!

papoosue: Thanks.

zinnia: I'm looking at it right now (again) with a very fierce look.
