well RIK, Frothey and i were discussing how productive this "forced thinking" is at the teach in, there was a rumour you were gonna show up?.... Carp fishing is like a jigsaw puzzle, you need to put all the pieces together to get the big picture (iv'e dropped some of mine on the floor!).
I think these "pieces" arn't always directly "fishing" related, theres other things like fitting your personal life, relationships,work etc that also need to be sorted out before we can really make the most of our time on the bank... sounds to me like you done it!.
