I'll try to get these out this week -- I have the stuff and a rough plan, but I just got word that I'm headed out of stste post-haste. No, it's not a pleasure trip. Don't know when I'll be back.

Just went to click "Sent" and discovered I'd already done it?! Probably clicked it by accident at some stage. To my partners: your notebook is on its way :)

I was very lucky and received three cahiers from three people (the two who were supposed to send to me, and a return one from the person I sent to!) - so I'm quite happy to angel this swap
