Thanks Tracy, nothing yet.
Jen, I think you're doing a very useful thing making a list of all the stuff that needs further explanation, whether because of the 'pond effect' or just lack of explanation in the text. I'll try to produce a response as an 'Appendix' to 'The Nextarillion'. Anything associated with Tolkien should surely have an appendix!
Of course some things dark and mysterious will appear in the course of completing the text - William Crustacean for instance.
I'd be happy to receive enquiries piecemeal to break the task of responding into smaller chunks, if you like.
Dave, upgrade w/ marshmallows received gratefully. Was on sugar high last night from consuming retroactive marshmallows all in one sitting. :-)
I will start sending you my notes piecemeal then, probably beginning today at lunchtime when I get a mo ... I'm just about to start a very exciting round of planning meetings now ...
Oohhh, ice-cream. Frankly sounds more appealing than wearing a bra, in this sort of weather. (Eating the ice-cream, of course.)
Actually, my days of comfortably going braless in hot weather seem to be over. I just gave away 1 shirt and four skimpy tops that don't fit any more. I've got another couple of shirts to give to charity still - they now all look a little strained across the bust line.
Found a nice fitted cotton shirt for £3.49 in the catalogue shop today though :)
You know those gel filled bras, intended to provide extra shape ? Maybe somebody should be them with removable gel inserts that retain heat or stay cool. You could put them in the fridge in the summer, and have a nice cool bra, or pop them in the microwave in the winter for a nice warm feeling that lasts for a few hours. Bigger boobs and a discreet way of warming or cooling oneself, all in one !

those chicken filet cup fillers would be ideal for that. Of course, it wouldn't work if you're already big enough. I fear I would scare the local children more than I already do if I were to add extra boobage...warm or cold!
