Just a short one today.

I've just been playing with some new software (new to me anyway...)trying to increase my range of 'skills', as it were. Found a good tutorial on how to do clever things with web menus and so on and then had an insight seconds after setting up a document. It reminded me of asking for directions when you're driving. You need the directions, you pull over and ask someone. But the moment they start talking you lose interest. By the time they get to the second or third turn ("...if you pass a hospital on your right, you've gone too far...")you've actually begun to resent them so you drive away knowing how to get another 100 metres down the road before you have to stop and begin the whole sorry process over again.

Needless to say, I didn't get through the tutorial.
