Hi Robin,
Just looking through my pending pile and realise that I never heard back from
you when I explained I was teaching a couple of guys ...
I expect by now you are doing well with your phone as there's certainly a lot
of help out there.
Let me know if this is not the case and I'll help if I can. However, I'm not
too well at all right now so have to keep things down to a minimum and
sometimes I just can't help as I'd like as I need more rest!
Anyway, let me know how you're getting on.
I trust Christmas will be good for you.
With kind regards:
Carol P: sent from my Braille Sense!
