It took me about three hours to clean up all the new jobs which had accumulated in the week I have been away. That gives a pretty good idea how active business conditions are at present. Then I went back on the Flexomotive ammunition wheeze in which I had considerable difficulty getting very much interested.

I know now there's no worry of that sort that's worth worrying about.
