You have to tell AI how much contrast you need so that when the print is reproduced, it does not look too wishy-washy. Today was what I call a steep learning curve. We left about quarter past nine this morning in order to achieve a meeting at a certain venue near Westbury, the aim being to meet up with an archaeological group.

I am actually going to have a break
Dear Diary (as they say), I have not written anything since Sunday's blockbuster entry, but a lot has happened.
