   Henry, I don’t like reading anything other than finished copies, but if your publisher would like to send a review copy of the final version when available, I’d be delighted to review it on popularscience.co.uk.

   Yes please, and good to “see” you here.

   I’m particularly looking forward to the cooking part.

   Graeme (and all) thanks for your good wishes. It’s a long journey but I’m going in the right direction.

   Congratulations! I’ll buy a real copy when it comes out, to support the cause etc etc, but just wanted to say ‘well done’ and to tell you how excited I am!

     Thanks Jenny. I am quite excited too. It represents a distillation of my entire career’s thoughts about the nature of science … and I have just had very encouraging comments from a very eminent reader. Which is nice.

   Congrats, and glad to see you back to something like your old self, Henry – it’s been strangely quiet around here without you.

   Anyway, will be delighted to buy a real copy when it hits the shops, though must say an updated edtn. of The Science of Middle-Earth is the one I’m really looking forward to. We Tolkien fiends must stick together.

     Well, Austin, the e-edition of The Science of Middle Earth has now come to the top of the decision queue. It’s great to have the chance to do another edition, as the first edition had some nagging errors and omissions I’ve been dying to correct for the past eight years!

    Warning – it’s 18 billion pages long (roughly), although some of that is made up of copious footnotes.

    I’ll start it once I finish The Hungry Games trilogy. I’ll need something more scientific, and less violent.

    Renowned author says, “The world has yet to see chickens migrate.”
    I bought half a dozen Frisian pullets – turquoise legs and an elevated walk — honest.
    I turned them loose on my hill in Lancashire, watched them peck about for a bit, then went in for a quick cup of tea. – Five minutes later they were six fields away – migrating in a straight line due south, back to the warmer climes of Cheshire where they came from – as fast as their turqoise legs would march, – That was the last I saw of them.
    O.K. so they weren’t flying – but they definitely had the idea of migration firmly planted in their chicken minds..

    Off propos, a colleague of mine, who is now an Oxford Professor, so he should know, tells me said Miss Middleton was voted by an esteemed journal “rear of the year”. Explanation please?
