Hi guys,

So sorry about my mike / connectivity / typing issues. My words - both
spoken and typed - were only coming through about a third of the time, and
a couple of minutes after I typed/spoke them. So I think I sounded either
completely unhinged or very impatient!

Still listening in, though.

Apologies for all that, Maria
