I promised Coyote Con people that I would have question post on Monday. I know it's not so long since the last one, but maybe there are questions that have been squirrelled away that need answering. One question I shall refuse to answer (Jo and Sharyn, I'm looking in your directions) is how much of Life Through Cellophane is autobiographical. People asked me the same question for Illuminations and so that question has hit the question-fatigue wall. Find me some new ones! I have lots of new answers to do with Medieval history (which reminds me, I need to hunt out my copy of Clemence of Barking) and haven't had a decent food history question in ages.

My own questions are mostly hypothetical this weekend. I'm busy trying to work out what experiments/tests/etc scientists would ask to be included in a dream world where they could exstablish a research station in a different time or on a different planet. All opinions, as ever, gratefully received. It might take me a while to work this one out. Please keep the opinions polite and the jokes superior, as we have people dropping in from Coyote Con and it's important that they see how suave and urbane we all are here. Especially the Australians. We have a reputation for amazing urbanity to establish. This includes Adelaidians. (Canberrans don't need a reputation - we're just naturally urbane.)
