Good result Andrew. if it gets to come back more-the best way of actually swamping it is using white noise. Generators are available for this and I believe supplied as health aids in some parts.A radio tuned off staion can do similar. The cheap alternative is a circ fan running and the air whoosh is supposed to help, though I've never tried this. Perhaps this is a good time of year to try this approach, but the summer has barely started before it's on the way out this year. See, already talking weather- things are better.... :) Not worrying is a big part of dealing with the unknown- but not always so easy|!
