We don't actually call them "shrimp", they're prawns. And rarely are they barbecued. We BBQ snaggers, steak, roo. Maybe the occasional field mushroom if there's a vegetarian about.

I do tend to forget I'm not a normal thinking female.
I'm currently just over half way through the first draft, which went quickly at first. I'm trialing new software and writing the next chapter on it, so don't expect the book to be available any time soon. The draft needs a restructure and overhaul before it'll be anything like ready. The provisional title is Long in the Tooth.
