Hi NLG, I'm new to this forum myself, but am here to say hello and cheer for you - wow that does sound like a big step! I haven't read up on your sitch so I don't know how much yours has in common with mine (there's no A in mine, but I can relate to 'the drought' ) And your term 'herky jerky' is too bang on. Yes we've had some herky jerky - uh - moments too. They seem to be interspersed with 'moments' that work well too though, so keep - uhh - at it!
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
