Thank you for your help

I'm going to continue working on Stream A for the time being.

Yes please! Thanks ever so April

Joan,

I got some more Stream A posted a done. Going to finish it off by the beginning of next week, I think.

Fab - many thanks!

Shiplover's getting through it as well, section E I think now. I wonder if I'll get some transcribing time. I did a lot of the other WB logs in Phase 1
