but not sure about this opening ...

“The brooding sense of displeasure with all things in the world as felt by Angus ‘blether’ MacLeod”. An apt title for a book but a bit long. That sums it up on such an inglorious day. A day that cannot happen. Such things that can never be defined absolutely can never be explained. That is how it was and how it was going to be.

Hi Domhnall, and apologies for not spotting this post earlier - and welcome to WW.

On WW critiquing tends to go on in the groups, as work tends to disappear in the main forums.

And if you get stuck, just ask for help in the main forum.
