Morning Steve. I have some meetings today, so I will have to break time up into one or two hour blocks through the day. 
OK, so the meeting that was scheduled for in five minutes just got postponed for 2 months. thats annoying but being out of that Loop means I am happily in this Floop for a solid 4 hour block now, as the following one also got postponed to Monday. :)
Is this formatting yours or the original?

They are playing a game

They are playing at not playing a game.

If I show them I see they are I

shall break the rules and they will punish me.

I must play their game of not seeing I see the game.

R.D Laing Knots I (1970) [1]


Sorry, this is the spacing in the original:

They are playing a game. They are playing at

not playing a game. If I show them I see they

are, I shall break the rules and they will

punish me.

I must play their game, of not seeing I see

the game.

Well spotted, because the spacing seems quite crucial to Laing. FIXED

Please add space : (1970) [1] I've found that where there is a space, often the reference ends up coming after a line break, I think it's best if there's no space generally, tho for aesthetic reasons can put one here. no risk. 

ok :-)

I want to add an image to Fabulous L de L chapter. Do I have the all clear? I have the edit page open, but I can close and come back to it when you're done? it is closed now. 

all clear

OK will be finished in a few minutes.

OK ALL CLEAR! cool, thanks. about to finish section one of double life, so will go back to what you've done in a couple minutes. thanks :)


please check this bit again:

👍 OK

I've gone through it, some typos, and tweaked the focus a bit so its on the work in each example (it kind of changed subject a bit between them, went with what was established din the first. It's good to have the additions you have made.
