In the past compiling this report has always been something of a let down: I'd be going along thinking I'd achieved quite a lot but find that once I put it down in black and white I still couldn't check anything in particular off as being finished. All the necessary things I'd been working on took forever, and people I needed took even longer, or got ill, or made other plans for me.... but now- its all starting to come together and take shape like as car rather than an enormous pile of parts.
