Hello Huw,
Hope you have recovered from MCG and BCS.
Yes I will let you have all the solutions I receive which are not on lis-
maps. I will also let you know what Inez and I decide (she is the one
doing them).
Do not worry if you do not hear for a week - I am on holiday from now
until 3 October. The flesh pots of Paris beckon!
Best wishes
Ann
