more for me than for you

So it was a cup of tea and a dose of "never give up" rather than the beer on the couch that looked so tempting... there's still a lot to do, but I am not going to let this paper beat me!

Until this dries properly it is hard to get a good idea of how it is going. The paper is thirsty and pulls the colour down, and when it is dry it loses a lot of colour. Grrrrr... where is quality control, and how did I come to have this piece of paper?
