Sign writing advice PLEASE!

[Saduf Naqvi]

Hi Val,

thanks for your advice, I will have some video recordings by tomorrow night and
I will send them out onto the SWL.  

Strange as it is, sometimes you plan something for months but it still gets
hectic last minute!?!  :-| anyhow I will have a go at this, and discuss my
adventures with all sounds like it should be ok.

thank you and Ill write tomorrow with more info.

take care

Saduf
