Well thank you but I not in the same category as shibuyacloth or Moon for input into the forum - I still think of myself as a newbie here
I am feeling quite positive at the moment as I am just playing as it fits, and am not even trying to work out what I will/might achieve. So I was pleasantly surprised when I got the 25 pelts from the side goal as I hadn't been checking my progress.
Not feeling the need to check the game constantly is nice - and the way it should be!
